Yesterday afternoon, Mal and I enjoyed a delicious and very indulgent meal at Max Brenner in Boston. We left with full bellies, big smiles, and agreeing that we must visit again. Awhile back, I was invited to attend a media event at Max Brenner to try their new menu, but, unfortunately, I was unable to [...]

Once upon a time… ok, last night… Mal and I were invited to a holiday party for a new restaurant called BoMA in the South End. It was a fun time, but the experience left our taste buds sort of confused. When we arrived at BoMA, Mal and I were warmly greeted and then given [...]

Ok, where did we leave off? Biking adventures, right? After our biking tour of Mystic, we headed back to Mohegan Sun for an afternoon at Elemis Spa. Each of us were provided with a spa service to review, so I chose a deep tissue massage. My back is always a mess (because of scoliosis + [...]

After the CrossFit WOD, we headed back to Reebok Headquarters to learn about some new products that are hitting the market in 2013. We weren’t allowed to snap photos, but, trust me, Reebok has some really awesome stuff coming out in the next few months. Let’s just say you’ll see lots of bright colors and [...]

Well, hello! Long time, no talk. I had quite the whirlwind weekend, which was packed full of fitness, fun, and friends, so I didn’t have a chance to blog. Sorry about that.

The presentation was for about 20 people (editors, test kitchen culinary specialists, marketing folks) from various Meredith publications. Leading the presentation were Meredith Myers, Publication Relations Manager from the United States Potato Board, and [...]

My trip to Des Moines was a total whirlwind. I arrived at 6:30 PM on Sunday night and headed back to Boston at 5:30 PM on Monday evening. I wasn’t even there for a full 24 hours, but I got to see and learn a lot in that short amount of time. Let’s recap! On [...]

Rise and shine, it’s time for yoga with Martha Stewart! My day started bright and early at Theodora’s apartment. We were both invited to a yoga event with Martha Stewart this morning, so I spent the night on her couch (Theodora’s not Martha’s) last night. At 6:30 AM, we hopped in a cab to Grand Central [...]

While I love using exercise mantras and self-talk to motivate me, taking some time on Sunday to organize my life is the best and most effective way to keep me on track. Here’s my little checklist for Sunday: Meal plan [...]
