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 [...]

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 [...]

It is kind of amazing what the smallest change will do for a dish. My boring bowl of oatmeal suddenly felt really sweet and indulgent. The calorie/points [...]

It is that time of year again, the time of year when networks countdown the most popular news stories, radio stations countdown the most popular songs, and individuals reminisce about the biggest moments of the year gone by. I can truly say 2010 has been an amazing year for me. I am at a job [...]

I am not a fan of the infamous “New Years Resolution”. It’s not that I don’t get the appeal, because believe me, I do. A new year feels untarnished with bad choices, untouched by drama. It feels full of possibilities and second chances. However, we all know that a turn of the calendar does not [...]
