End of week 2! Can you believe it? I truly hope that you had a great week and that you were able to see changes from the first week in the challenge. My second week was completely different from the first! I changed a lot of things, starting with my mentality. On Sunday, I took…
Last night Neal and I headed over to The Black Cat DC to see our Brother-in-Law Mark perform with his band The Features. Of course Neal and I are partial because we know the band, but we LOVE The Features. Seeing them in DC is always a treat and I really liked their new songs…
We’re half way through the second week of the 7 week challenge!! Just a little over 5 weeks until the first day of summer y’all. This week I’ve made some pretty big changes to my lifestyle and diet and no matter what the scale says on Friday, I’m feeling pretty great. I’ve made 3 simple…
As part of the 7 week challenge I’ve been making more of an effort to eat clean. To me, eating clean means cutting out processed foods and eating foods that are whole and as close to their original state as possible. As I started to focus on eating clean I realized that I had been…
I have a new love in my life, Amanda and Matt’s Black Bean Burgers!! Yesterday afternoon Amanda and her husband Matt came over for dinner and game night. Amanda had told me about their black bean burgers before, so when she offered to bring them for dinner I couldn’t refuse! I’m a big time bean…
This has been such a wonderful weekend!! Although yesterday was rainy, I started the day off with a long walk with Theodore and then another long walk with Neal and Theodore to the farmers market. Late afternoon we headed to the DC Divas football game and watched the Divas beat the NY Sharks 49-6. This…
Woo Hoo!! We’ve reached the end of week 1! I hope this was a great first week for you and no matter the outcome, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to reflect on the past 7 days. For me, Week 1 of the 7 week challenge was just that, a challenge. What I haven’t…
As a teenager, my perception of what was beautiful was skewed by what I thought society saw as beautiful. As a 15 year old, beautiful was skinny, tall, had long blonde hair, and wore a 36C. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see beauty. I saw a girl who was overweight, insecure, and…
A few weeks ago while shopping at Dawson’s Market I met the owner of Outta the Park. The first thing that stood out to me is that Outta the Park BBQ sauces are ALL natural, made with fresh produce and organic products. No High Fructose Corn Syrup No MSG No Artificial Colors, Flavors, Preservatives or…

The 7 week challenge really couldn’t have come at a better time! I have just been feeling so heavy lately. Bloated…pudgy…overweight…you name it. Weighing in at 230 pounds on Saturday just magnified what I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve felt disgusting in my clothes lately and seeing that number on the scale just sucked! A few…
After a wonderful Saturday morning, Neal and I headed to Northeast DC to visit Union Market. Union Market, which dates back to the late 1800′s, resides in a historical area of Washington, DC. Union Market has had many different looks over the years, but the market that stands today is vibrant, diverse, and full of…

On June 21, the first day of summer, how do you want to feel? Do you want to feel comfortable in your summer clothes? Do you want to layout by the pool without your insecurities resting on your shoulders (or waist in my case)? Well it’s not too late to feel great on the first…
