This past weekend was everything I had been wanting in a weekend for some time now. It was the perfect mix of fitness, friends, family, football, and fun. That’s a lot of F’s! The weekend started with my weekly ballet class in Washington, DC. I love ballet! Can I just say that again? It is…
Today Dawson’s Market Rockville opened it’s doors officially. Neal and I do most of our grocery shopping at Giant or Trader Joe’s but I have been looking forward to this grocery store opening for some time. I love grocery stores that provide more unique products, are focused on health and wellness, and that aren’t big…

Living in Vermont impacted my life in many ways. Vermont taught me how to live a whole life, to care for the world around me, and to understand and wrap my arms around people no matter how different they are from me. My Aunt Danielle has also made a huge impact on my understanding of…
One of the many things I loved about Fitbloggin were all of the workouts we were able to try out. Although CrossFit was not new to me, the fact that hundreds of men and women were given the opportunity to try out a WOD was pretty awesome! Saturday morning I laced up my shoes and…
I love squash! Both this kind of squash… and this kind of squash… This weekend I went a little squash crazy at the grocery store and bought acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and pre-diced butternut squash. My brain has been a little consumed with “fall foods” and when I saw all of those pretty maids sitting…
The day is finally here! It’s time to weigh in and reveal my 2012 Scaleless Summer Results! I’m pretty nervous but someone reminded me this weekend that I got married this summer, traveled across Europe for almost 3 weeks, and settled in as a newlywed. I did a lot this summer and went through a…
Friday, the first full day of the Fitbloggin conference, started out with an early morning run with Lauren. In all honesty, I slept horrible that night (hard bed) and getting up for the run was really hard but Lauren was a great encouragement to me. It reminded me how important it is to have a…
Last Thursday was just about the best way to kick off my mini vacation and Fitbloggin getaway. It started bright and early with a hike up in Frederick, Maryland with Lauren. Lauren took me on a killer, hilly hike which in the end covered roughly 4 miles. The hike was a great workout and gave…
Good morning from Fitbloggin! This morning kicked off with a run along the Inner Harbor of Baltimore with Lauren. After a late night, it was tough to get up for a run but Lauren was such an encouragement. The run was just what I needed to get the day going! Afterwards we headed back to…
One of the downsides of living in the Washington, DC area is the unpredictable traffic and the frequent crazy commutes. Although I’ve experience many wild and frustrating commutes over the past 7 years last year I experienced my first crazy commute. And then there was yesterday… The crazy commute part 2. The day started out…
After our honeymoon kickoff in Amsterdam Neal and I caught a train to Wolsfeld, Germany. Wolsfeld is very dear to my heart as I lived there from ages 5-8. As my father was in the Air Force we moved every 2-3 years but my time in Germany is something I have always treasured. I know…
I may sound like a broken record but I am thrilled that the crisp fall weather has arrived. The past week here in the DC area has been outstanding and although rain has rolled in for the day, high temperatures in the 70′s brings joy to my heart! With the cool air comes a plethora…
Saturday morning I woke up bright and early, eagerly awaiting my departure for ballet! The weather Saturday morning was just perfect, crisp and fresh with a slight breeze. I knew the moment I stepped outside with Theodore at 6:30AM that it was going to be a great day. After a few hours of work, I…
Do you ever look back over a week and think “MAN, I have eaten out a lot!”? That was last week. Going into last week I didn’t think we’d be eating out that much but a bridal shower, date night, last minute lunch date, and dinner with family friends had me eating out more than…
