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…
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…
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…
I honestly could not have asked for a better weekend. The past two weeks have been rough but this weekend really helped to turn things around. It all started Friday when I made the decision to start making the most of my Monday through Friday! Friday night I went on an amazing date with Neal,…
Saturday morning I attended SELF Magazine’s first ever Workout on the Quad!! 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the Workout in the Park, and their first year holding the event on a college campus. This year, American University in Washington DC won the chance to host the event on their quad through Her Campus. The…
Last night Neal and I went on a much needed date!! It’s so easy to get wrapped up in our schedules and commitments, making it really important for us to get out of the house and to go on dates. Last night we went to see 42, which was an absolutely amazing movie!! Every year…
It’s so surreal, but I saw Jillian Michaels last night on the DC leg of her Maximize Your Life tour!!! It was such a fun night and boy do I have a lot to share… Before the show, I met up with my Katy, Jessica, Becky, and Jennie at Matchbox in Chinatown. It was so…
I’m not going to lie, yesterDAY stunk! Sunday night I set my cell phone alarms for 6AM and 6:10AM as I had an 8AM appointment with my chiropractor in DC. At 7AM I was startled awake by Neal’s alarm, completely unaware as to whether or not my alarms had actually gone off. Panicked by the…
This past weekend, Neal and I enjoyed a long weekend filled with long walks, site seeing, and lots of good eats. Friday morning, we headed down to the National Mall to see the cherry trees and the monuments. Although the cherry blossoms had been delayed due to the colder weather, it was so nice walking…
Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day for baseball. The sun was shinning, flags were flying, and thousands of fans came together to watch the Washington Nationals win their first game of the 2013 season at Opening Day. If you’re ever in Washington DC, I HIGHLY recommend making it out to a Nationals game. The Nats…
It’s so fun reaching milestones and anniversaries. Last year was an absolutely crazy year for me but an amazing one at that. One year ago today, Neal and I took our formal engagement photos at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. Neal and I have a lot of ties to that park. The first time we…

SELF gave universities nationwide the chance to compete to host the fitness event and guess who won… American University right here in Washington, DC! SELF Magazine’s first ever Workout on the Quad event is coming…
This past weekend I played in my first football scrimmage as the center for the DC Divas. I was nervous going into the game but was excited to get on field and to play some football! I left the game with a few bumps and bruises but overall felt great. It’s hard to believe that…
So I’m a little calendar obsessed, always have been! I use to search high and low for the perfect day planner when I was in college, using it to map out my daily, weekly, and months commitments. I’d think far into the future, planning out things I’d want to do in various semesters. Not that…
Without fail, I reach a point each year where I just want to run! Back in 2006, running was what helped me to be successful in my weight loss and it’s something I return to each and every year! I’ve run some really fun races over the years, including the Country Music Half Marathon in…
