I’m very proud of myself for tracking all of my calories this week, for listening to my body, and for making up my workouts even when I overslept. I’m a little nervous about how the week will end, since I’m in San Antonio, but I just need to track my calories to the best of…

Have you heard about the Nike+ FuelBand? Lets just say that the moment I heard about Nike’s new gadget, I knew it would be a wise investment in my quest to lose weight and to live a healthy lifestyle. I am in love with my Nike FuelBand. The Nike+ FuelBand is an accelerometer which tracks…

This has been a whirlwind week, but a good one at that. This week I was reminded of how special life is and that even on the worst of days, we should never wish a day away. Each day is a blessing and the people around us are blessings as well! This week was filled…

Last week, Talia from Bite Sized Wellness tagged me in a Virtual Get to Know Me! So here we go… 1. What is your favorite time of day? I am just about obsessed with twilight, not the movie. I love the time of day when there is just enough light to bring a cobalt blue…

12:30 pm
This morning I woke up at 4:15AM… you read that right, 4:15AM! Knowing that I’d have to get up at 5AM to go to spin anyways, I decided that going back to sleep for 45 minutes would be far worse than staying up. Still, it was painful! Spin this morning was great. I love Cycle…

So far this year, I feel like I’ve spent more time with my school books than with Neal, my friends, and my family. Grad school and work projects have taken over my life. Oh, and a little thing called wedding planning. As I have to work late today, Neal asked me on a Valentine’s Day…

7:00 am
When times are tough or life is extra busy, it’s easy to lose sight of all I have to be grateful for. It’s easy to become bogged down, overwhelmed, and honestly, a grump. It’s not easy to take the focus off of the negative, but once you do, it can give your life a “gratitude…
