Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Good morning! Happy Saturday! Here’s my second post for GNC’s “Total Lean Challenge.” For this one, I was asked to share my favorite kind of cardio exercise, which, I’m sure you already know, is CrossFit. I’m a tad in love with it! Since I love CrossFit so much, I decided to create a CrossFit-inspired workout [...]

After lunch yesterday, I got ready to go to the gym. I put on my workout gear and then packed up my gym bag because I planned to take a shower at the gym before my doctor’s appointment. While I was packing, I thought it might be fun to show you guys what’s in my [...]

Good morning! Happy Monday Tuesday! Here’s a little motivation to start your day off on the right foot! Workout This quote applied really well to yesterday’s CrossFit WOD. I’ve always been afraid of the 53-pound kettlebell (that ish is heavy!), but thanks to some encouragement from Mal and Kerrie (c’mon, you can do it!), it’s [...]

I’m working on a new campaign with GNC called the “Total Lean Challenge,” which is a 12-week lifestyle program that includes nutrition, meal plans, workouts and video instruction, and community support. I was asked to share one of my workouts, so I turned a regular old trip to the dog park with Murphy into a 30-minute sweat [...]

(GNC sent me some Pro Performance L-Glutamine Powder as part of a program with Fitfluential.) When I visited my G.I. doctor a couple of weeks ago, [...]

Ok, so now that I achieved my goal for the Paleo Challenge, I’m officially cashing it in with the diet part of it.

Here’s your chance to win some probiotics from GNC and make your digestive system happy! A few weeks ago, my friends at GNC sent me a whole bunch of probiotics to try out. I’m already taking VSL#3 (recommend by my doctor) for my ulcerative colitis, so I’m all set in the probiotics department. I didn’t want [...]

For the past two days, I’ve heard non-stop jack-hammering. Mal dislikes the huge rock in our front yard (he thinks it’s annoying to mow around), so we hired some guys to remove it, but it’s turned into a much bigger project than expected. Hence, the non-stop jack-hammering. Of course, Murphy is closely “supervising” the project. The [...]

Good morning! Happy Monday! I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend! Friday On Friday afternoon, Murphy and I drove to Fenway Park for the 1000 Pugs photo shoot. We arrived right on time and then met the photographer, Amanda, who spent a solid 20 minutes photographing Murphy. He was a natural. And highly motivated [...]
