A few weeks ago you may have noticed that picture on twitter. I had the unfortunate job of taste testing a couple of margaritas for a review on the site. I know. I know. It totally sucked. I mean who wants to spend a night in with their husband sipping margaritas and watching netflix movies.

Ahhhh Who am I kidding. I had blast!

Here’s the deal… Click here to read the rest »

My weekend offline was FANTABULOUS! I have to admit I felt a little disconnected without my computer and now I feel a bit behind but it was totally worth it. I spent uninterrupted time (minus a few twitter updates) with my mom and myself. That was a much needed break for me. :)

Here’s a short pictorial tour through my Nutrilite Optimal Health Weekend… Click here to read the rest »

Why Do you Exercise?

November 11, 2009 Posted in Weekly Questions 47 Comments »

It’s 11PM and I’m getting ready to head to bed trying to mentally prepare myself for a morning run tomorrow. I want to go but I don’t want to go. It’s weird.

On one hand I’m EXHAUSTED and I’m wondering if I want to get up a half hour early just to run. On the other hand, I KNOW how great I feel when I start my day doing something for myself. Something that allows me to clear my head and set out on the right foot.

So as I listen to arguments from the little angel and devil on my shoulder I ask you this… Why do YOU Exercise? Is it for Weight Loss? Mood? Training? Toning? The way it makes you feel?

You know this… now go do it.. and gosh darn it… BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

WHAT A DAY! it was like 75 degrees, sunny and simply gorgeous. Totally not what I expected a few days after our first frost.

Also unexpectedly the child allowed me to sleep in an extra hour. It was wonderful! I snuck out of the house to hit the gym before he even woke up. Click here to read the rest »

I love quotes. There’s just something about little nuggets of wisdom that many can relate to on a very basic level. It’s why I started doing the weekend quote feature on the site.

This weekend I’ve been reflecting.

I am happy. I am calm. I am grateful. I feel… Click here to read the rest »
