Greetings from high in the sky somewhere over Nebraska! I’m on my way to Los Angeles right now, and I’m using the very expensive in-flight internet to blog. (Frickin’ $17.95 for internet? Jeez, Louise. I almost didn’t buy it, but, hey, it’s for my job, right? Plus, I like blogging and it keeps me entertained.) [...]

Last night, I stumbled upon a piece on Shape.com called 10 Seriously Fit Chicks of CrossFit, which highlighted strong and inspiring women to watch at the 2012 CrossFit Games. It was right up my alley! I loved reading about these ladies, and I am especially excited to see them compete at the Games in a [...]

“Eva” totally kicked my butt last night. I’m definitely taking a rest day today. Those “New Girls” are no joke! Many have asked, “Why are the workouts named after Girls?” Coach Glassman, the founder and President of CrossFit explained it best. “I want to explain the workout once and then give it a name. I [...]

I pretty much ate and drank my face off this weekend at BlogHer Food. I literally ate all day long for four straight days. Of course, I don’t regret a single bite (it’s all part of the experience), but, even still, I’m ready to get back on track with my healthy eating habits. Here’s how [...]

Hello, friends! I just got home from a nice, little afternoon, complete with a mani-pedi, some shopping, and a trip to Starbucks. (There was also a bunch of boring stuff mixed in there, but those things don’t make for a very exciting blog post.) I’m off to Seattle tomorrow for BlogHer Food, so I needed [...]

Have you tried Larabar’s new Über bar? Holy goodness it’s delicious! A few weeks ago, Larabar sent me their four Über flavors to try, but Mal ate three of the four before I had a chance to try them. The Cherry Cobbler was fair game, so I tried it last night, and it’s seriously the [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MAL!!! [Image by my very talented friend Jon, who meets celebrities like Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. He actually hung out with them over the weekend. No big deal.] I’m not sure who’s more excited about Mal’s 30th birthday today—him or me! Breakfast This morning, I woke up before Mal’s alarm went [...]

Good morning! Monica and Theodora both arrived safe and sound here in Boston. I picked up Theodora from South Station last night and Monica from the airport this morning. Once we were all together at my house, we spent the morning catching up and going over some last-minute preparation for Reach the Beach. Last-minute preparations: [...]

Home Sweet Home

It’s so nice to be home. I missed my boys. And my bed. And my food. It’s funny how you enjoy those things so much more when you’ve been away from them for a little while. Because I was traveling and away from my computer for most of last week, I had a lot of [...]
