Tomorrow, I will have completed my 30-day “introduction” to Bikram yoga. Now, more than ever, I’m 100% positive I want to stick with it. There’s just something magical about the hot room. Some people have church…or music…or art…and I now have yoga. [source] Though I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I can already…

What I Ate…Before a 4-Day Weekend
Today is a combination of both my favorite days: Wednesday and Friday. Mark and I took off work tomorrow and Friday in order to visit the in-laws and help them move into their new house. I’m super excited to get away, but since we’re not going to be home a few days, my What I…
Surviving the Torture Chamber
A little scared of this post’s title? You should be. As of Monday night, I’ve survived 2 Bikram yoga classes! Oh. My. God. I knew it was going to be intense, but I had no idea I would leave feeling as if I’d been mugged, beaten, run-over, and dragged down the street…and ready to do…

It’s no surprise that over-stressed, under-nourished,…
MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
10 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Fitness Lover
Maybe it’s because I didn’t date a lot in high school or college (my longest dating “relationship” prior to meeting Mark was just 3 months!), but I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. My parents would always give me cards and candy, and while I enjoyed the grammar school tradition of passing out…
