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…
This was one fun carb loading weekend!! Although I may be feeling slightly stuffed, I had a great time and enjoyed every moment. It all started Friday night with a nice bowl of pasta! I browned 1 pound of extra lean ground beef and then added a jar of Classico Caramelized Onion and Roasted Garlic…
Yesterday I read online that a blogger had passed away last week unexpectedly, the day after her 30th birthday. I was so sad to hear that Lorrie had passed away. So young and so determined to live a healthier life. My prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time! Lorrie’s passing really…
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…
I kid you not, Neal and I have had this ice cream machine for almost 2 years now and we’ve yet to use it… until Monday! Monday night I whipped up a batch of plain non-fat Greek frozen yogurt using three ingredients!! You read that right THREE ingredients! 32 oz plain Greek yogurt (I used…
It’s been a while since I’ve done a “day in the life” post so I thought I’d take y’all through my Monday! My Monday really started on Sunday when I created my plan for the week. Before going to bed Sunday night I already knew I would be getting up early to get a workout…
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…
Though I secretly wish the weekend had been filled with lots of green beer, it ended up being a pretty good weekend! It started Friday with a wonderful lunch with Lauren at Whole Foods. It had been quite some time since seeing Lauren, so I was incredibly thankful that she drove and took the metro…
At the end of a long week I think it’s important to look around and smell the roses. I want to make more of an effort to share “what’s got me smiling” just as much as I share some of the challenges I may be facing. This was a tough week but I still have…
In two unrelated conversations this week, regret came up and it got me thinking….thinking about my life, decisions I’ve made, and how those decisions have affected my path. I’ve made a lot of great decisions in my life so far… 1. Marrying Neal! 2. Becoming Theodore’s mommy 3. Getting my Master’s from Kansas State 4. …
This weekend the offensive line of the DC Divas got together for an early spring BBQ. I love a get together, not only because I get to spend time with friends but also because I get to cook for others! To start, I made a Lemon Pasta Salad (adapted from Jamie Krell). 1 TBSP olive…
Well the awesome train kept on rolling yesterday!! Yesterday was a absolutely perfect day for me on the diet and exercise front!!! I drank 4 Nalgene water bottles (128 oz), ate 1,611 calories (under my 1800 calories goal), and enjoyed every second of the 45 minute spin class I took! Here’s a break down of…
This past weekend was just fantastic! The weather was beautiful, I had a good practice Saturday, and I was able to meet up with some awesome friends! It all started Friday evening with a nice glass of Riesling. After work, I headed into DC to meet up Rebecca had organized for some DC health and…
Every spring NBC4 in Washington DC hosts a FREE Health and Fitness Expo at the Washington Convention Center. It’s a wonderful event full of exhibits, activities, and LOTS of health screenings! There will also be a number of specials guests there this year… Hellllllo former Biggest Loser contestants!! Well this year I have been invited…
