Its cold in Virginia today. It is so cold that I nearly talked myself out of ever moving out from under my warm comforter and doing anything at all. I especially did not want to go outside and run. BUT it had to be done so I started my day with a nice warm bowl of [...]

Today was not the most eventful Saturday but sometimes that is something to be thankful for. I slept in this morning– well “in” for me (8:00) and had a frozen organic wheat and flax waffle with a teaspoon of organic peanut butter (not pictured) before dashing out the door for 90 minutes of yoga.

My first yoga class of 2012 and what can I say? First, I hate myself just a little for taking a 3 week break from Bikram. I know better than that. Bikram yoga is really amazing but its also really tricky in a way. When you go regularly your body craves it. That feeling of [...]

Im different. I am not the typical “healthy living blogger”. I can admit freely now that I am not a healthy weight (yet) nor have I ever put tofu in my mouth that I am aware of. I cant fathom running a full marathon, training for a triathlon, or finding time to grow my own veggies (although [...]

Tonight I am at 29 and counting and that is not referring to my age! Rather, I am referring to day 29 of my 30 day yoga challenge. Despite travel, work, fatigue, and a couple incredible hardships I have successfully completed 29 classes in 29 days. Tomorrow will be day, and class, number 30. Obviously [...]

Welcome Fall!! Fall weather is officially kicking in with a vengeance here in Virginia though I am not complaining. I for one am a fall kind of gal. Even the most boring drive to run errands is incredibly beautiful this time of year. With the leaves changing and the bluest skies Ive ever seen in [...]
