Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Hi, guys! Look what arrived in the mail this afternoon! My NASM Certified Personal Trainer certificate! Woohoo! I figured receiving my certificate in the mail today was a sign that I should probably reply to your questions about NASM, so here’s a little Q & A. I think I got all of them, but if [...]

I can’t believe Mal and I are flying to the West coast again! We were just there less than two weeks ago, but, this time, our visit is for something fun: skiing (me)/snowboarding (him)! Neither of us have ever skied/snowboarded on the West coast, so we are PSYCHED. We’ve heard it’s totally different than the East coast. [...]

What a breakfast!!! I found this recipe in Self magazine (March 2009) the other day. (Supposedly, it’s Anna Kournikova’s recipe.) The original recipe made 18 blinis, which was WAY too many for me, so I halved the recipe and made some minor changes to it. So, what are these blinis? Honestly, I had no idea, [...]

Added bonus: these cookies are vegan! Makes [...]

TGIF! Boy, do I really, really mean it this week! I like my new job and all, but it’s usually fast-paced, which makes for a rather intense (and often stressful) day. My old job was nothing like that! I’m really not complaining– I wanted a job like this. My mind and body just need to [...]

Seriously. I am almost too tired to eat. Well, I can always eat, but you know what I mean! I took an hour-long step aerobics class at the YMCA tonight, and it kicked my butt! I am totally pooped! The class’s instructor was absolutely amazing though. She was enthusiastic and motivating without being too over-the-top, and she [...]

I’m not sure what was up with today’s somewhat unhealthy eating. Not that I made completely horrible food choices, but, in the last 24 hours, I’ve drank 3 beers, eaten 6 slices of pizza, a donut, and cereal for dinner… and I didn’t eat a single vegetable today! Well, technically, there were leeks and squash on [...]
