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…
A big part of losing weight is being able to pick yourself up when you trip or fall. My first two weeks using My Fitness Pal and Body Media went very well but this week was all over the place. Saturday, March 2 (does not include football practice) Sunday, March 3 Monday, March 4 Tuesday,…
This has been SUCH a weird week! Weeks like this make me realize how much I like routine when working towards a goal. I feel a little out of wake this week but what can you do? It all started Monday when I was home sick. Neal had been fighting a bug and graciously gave…
Some mornings Neal and I just don’t have time to have a sit down breakfast. My solution in the past has always been a “grab and go” breakfast, which is almost always a simple carb… bagels, toast, etc. In an effort to limit my carb intake and to increase my protein intake, Neal and I…
I am BEYOND excited about the snow storm, Saturn Snowquester, scheduled to hit the DC area tonight! DC gets a good storm here and there, but we haven’t had a BIG storm is over 2 years. Although I was starting to get excited for the start of spring and the time changing, I’m pretty pumped…
Late Saturday night I had the urge to go for a run in the morning. Running has always been a challenge for me and not something I usually find enjoyable, so when I get the urge I have to go with it! I woke up early Sunday morning, took Theodore out for a walk, and…
One thing I love about Washington, DC are all of the opportunities that exist not only in DC but in the surrounding area. Whether it’s festivals, concerts, sporting events, or races, there is so much to see and do here. As the warmer months approach, race season begins to bloom! I’ve been fortunate enough to…
This past Thursday night I was invited to Revolve Cycle Studio to take a spin class with a group of Washington, DC bloggers. I am a sucker for spin classes, so I was really excited to take a class at this new-to-me studio. Revolve is located in Arlington, VA, down the street from the Clarendon…
Getting myself into a weight loss midset was difficult after the holidays, but the steps I have taken since then have really gotten me into the zone! Step 1 – Be real with where I’m at Step 2 – Find my motivation Step 3 – Establish weight loss goals Step 4 – Acknowledge what has…
I’m really excited to be starting a new month and to be moving into March. Spring is right around the corner and for the first time in a long time I’m feeling in control of my diet and exercise. It’s hard to believe that my first football game with the DC Divas is a little…
The 4th step in reaching a place where I could lose weight was to determine what has stopped me in the past from losing weight. At my highest weight, I was honestly in denial of how miserable I was inside my own body. I had an amazing support system, a great group of friends, and…
I love goal setting… not going to lie! I am very futuristic, so it’s easy for me to daydream, to set goals for the future, and to create a plan to reach those goals. I’ve always enjoyed sharing my monthly goals and yearly life goals with y’all, but putting my weight loss goals out there…
