This past weekend I ran the Rider Rattler 5K/10K up at home. I had originally intended on running the 10K, but I’ve been recovering from Achilles tendonitis over the past month and figured a 10K on trails may not be the best idea. I contacted the director a few weeks prior to ensure that I… Continue reading If you’re not first…

I recently had the opportunity to try out a rebounding class at 360 Unique Fitness in Shamokin Dam. I was out of town for the day for a training, totally unprepared, and spent the day hemming and hawing over whether it was worth it to waste two hours running errands, buying a whole workout get-up,… Continue reading Rebounding.

A while back, I found a recipe for a Cobb salad dip that the boyfriend and I devoured in one sitting. It was most definitely not the healthiest thing in the world, but it was delicious. All I remember was that it included Cobb salad ingredients with a cream cheese and Hidden Valley Ranch mix… Continue reading One-Bowl Cobb Salad Dip

1 – Spinning Since the new year has started, I discovered a spin class at a local studio called Re-Cycle Sports that has actually motivated me to get my behind out of bed at the crack of dawn each Saturday. I live in an area where fitness classes are pretty sparse, so I have to… Continue reading January Top 3

I had a really great week last week, minus a few setbacks with a pulled muscle in my back and one in my neck a few days later. I was shocked to step on the scale Friday and see a 5.4 pound loss. I know sometimes our bodies need time to catch up once we… Continue reading Binge.

Clean up. Everybody, everywhere. One of my wishlist items for Christmas was Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. Opening it was certainly one of the highlights of my day, although I knew that tidying would consume the rest of my Christmas break. (I’d like to say… Continue reading Clean up.

Last night, I started to get wrapped up in a Facebook argument on the page of someone who used to be one of my very best friends. I spent a good hour crafting a response to this ridiculous argument and then realized that if I posted my response, I would now be the ridiculous one.… Continue reading Leaving Things Behind

Dear Nicole Arbour, These are my legs. They do not belong to someone who “smells like sausage.” They do not belong to someone who is lazy. They do not belong to someone who has diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. And those knees? They’re not bad. Those cellulite-covered, chunky legs and chubby knees belong… Continue reading Response to “Dear Fat People”

Today I am embarking on a new fitness journey… I’m starting the 21 Day Fix. I have been so anti-Beach Body programs for the longest time. Yes, they work if you eat well along with the exercises, but sometimes I very much feel like it’s a cult filled with Shakeology shots, bragging about your personal… Continue reading My Why

Ohh, Rite Aid… the things you do to me. My local Rite Aid just went through a major facelift, adding a nail bar right inside the front door, which was shining like a beacon in the night when I popped in to pick up a prescription the other day. I tried to tame the beast… Continue reading Product Review – Jesse’s Girl Nail Polish
