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 I was introduced to FitnessGlo, an online workout database. What drew me to FitnessGlo was just how diverse the class offerings were. You can search classes by Style, Teacher, Level, and Duration!! If I want a quick 10 minute workout, I can search that way. Or if I’m craving a barre…
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I think a lot of it has to do with last night’s football practice, which left me with sore muscles and not a whole lot of recovery time between it and the work day. On the other hand though, I think I’m frustrated…
Some days I’m in the zone and can tackle really long workouts, aka 3 nights of football practice a week. Other days I want something quick and intense. Tabata workouts are one of my favorite go-to, quick, get er done, sweat inducing, get your active on workouts. Today, in another one of my Active by…
Don’t you just love the feeling you get when your new favorite song comes on the radio and you just can’t help but move your body and dance to the beat? For me, music has been instrumental in my quest to lose weight! It motivates me, pumps me up, and helps to pass the time…
Last month I had an amazing opportunity to visit Reebok Headquarters in Canton, MA. Not only did I get to meet some amazing men and women and workout at Reebok Crossfit One but I was also introduced to more of Reebok’s amazing products. I love how versatile the fitness gear is, with capri pants designed…
Since moving in together and getting married, Neal and I have had to learn how important it is to be a true fitness partner. I asked Neal what it means to be a fitness partner and what kind of support he needs to be successful and this was his response. “Being a fitness partner, to…
Friday morning, after a wonderful evening in Boston, I headed over to Reebok Headquarters with my fellow FitFluential Ambassadors. I was beyond thrilled to be at Reebok, to learn more about their history, and to see what they have in store for 2013! After a small breakfast and an overview of what our day at…
Thursday afternoon I headed to the airport for my trip to Reebok Headquarters. As I wasn’t going to have dinner until 8:30PM or later, I searched high and low for a Weight Watchers point friendly snack at the airport. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to be honest. Foods that…
The next 48 hours are going to be an absolute whirlwind, but before I get into what the future holds let me take a few steps back to talk about the past couple of days. As I shared on Tuesday, I felt like I derailed a bit last weekend. Neal and I had a pretty…
Last Saturday I tackled 6.2 miles of hills in Bethlehem, PA at the Runners World 10K race. One of the three races offered at the Runners World event, the 10K started at The Steel Stacks and took us through the town of Bethlehem. On my way to the start, I enjoyed a P28 bagel…
Yesterday I hit the reset button on my diet!! It was time to start clean and stop analyzing. I don’t know about you but I can spend months and months trying to figure out what works for me and 4 months later I still haven’t lost weight. I believe wholeheartedly that you have to be…
This has been such an amazing and impactful weekend for me. I am beyond thankful to Runner’s World for the events opened to us and for all of the amazing men and women I was able to meet. Thursday night the bloggers headed over to Runner’s World Headquarters for a BBQ with the editors. Oh,…
Tomorrow I am heading to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for the Runner’s Wold Half Marathon and Festival! When I was first invited to run at the festival I was scared! And I mean freak out scared. Did they realize I wasn’t a typical runner? Did they realize I wouldn’t be able to run all three races (5K,…
This past Saturday I tried out for the Washington, DC Divas full contact women’s football team! It was a long time coming and I’m so glad I made it out there and tried out for the 2013 team. Friday night I enjoyed a big bowl of pasta with my honey, foam rolled to make sure…
