Appears courtesy of Bite Size Wellness. Every night before I go to bed I envision myself waking up early to create a protein-rich breakfast, masterfully pack my super food lunch and come home to put my chef hat on to prepare a perfectly balanced dinner. But somehow, even with intentions so high, my healthy dining dreams [...]
Article appears courtesy of Wellness Without Pity. Have you hugged your farmer today? If you are a member of a CSA, then maybe you have! Community-supported agriculture clubs, also known as “CSAs,” connect consumers with local farmers and provide fresh, locally grown, and often organic produce in “share boxes” every week. Buying a weekly CSA [...]
One of the reasons that I started this blog was to advocate for a healthy lifestyle, specifically for empowering women in the world of amateur (and I stress that word greatly) sports. However, living a healthy lifestyle goes beyond muscles and heart pumping cardio workouts and unfortunately, it took me most of my 20′s to [...]
Appears courtesy of We Can Begin to Feed. It is such a busy time of the year with the holiday season coming.

Appears courtesy of Darwinian Fail. I recently wrote a guest post for the my lovely and fabulous friend at The Orange Mask about the Holidays and creating a fool-proof Holly Jolly Battleplan, and ever since I have been giving the holidays some serious thought. With D-day planned for the New Year, I feel like I need to stay [...]
Appears courtesy of TRX Runaholic Diary. Few more days before Christmas and here you are about to enter another month long of reunions, parties and get-together, can you already imagine a room filled with delectable plates and sweets? All these months that you’ve been trying to keep that whistled waist, shred and trim down; how [...]
Appears courtesy of Functional Fitness. When visiting Costco today I overheard a fairly typical but rather interesting exchange at one of the sample booths. A lady approached and asked what was being offered – “Smoked oysters and (some type) of cracker”. The customer responded with “sounds delightful,” and began to walk away. The “sample lady” [...]
Have you ever been to an Asian restaurant (PF Changs) where the menu showcases a lettuce wrap? This usually has a crisp pile of bib lettuce leafs along with chicken and what I believe to be fried rice noodles. Served with a variety of sauces. I have been wanting to do something along those lines [...]
Appears courtesy of Athlete at Heart. How often have you let your pantry and fridge run out of good healthy foods and instead of heading to the store right away you go out to eat? How often have you failed to plan ahead or pack a lunch and end up in the workplace cafeteria giving [...]
Healthy Fast Food…..you know what an oxymoron is right? Jumbo Shrimp? Smart Jason? You see it’s using an adjective to describe the opposite really. In more Merriam-Webster speak an oxymoron is: is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. Yesterday I was using Google to search for what would be considered the healthiest food. I [...]
A Vegan burger recipe can be found everywhere but I love to cook. Spending hours in the kitchen is not a problem for me. Dicing, chopping, sauteeing…..these are all words that make music in my mind but I also know that not everybody is like me. People want to get into the kitchen and get [...]
You might think from the title of this post that I’m about to discuss how hard I’m training or how well/bad training is going but you would only be partially correct. I am actually going to post about what the taste of your sweat actually means. It is eye-opening to say the least. For the [...]

The following recipe appears courtesy of Linday Cotter of Cotter Crunch Trick AND Treat Corn Muffins Yes, I said trick AND treat, not OR treat. WHY? Because these muffins trick you with a hidden vegetable yet treat you with Nutella and Marshmallows. YUM! (pic above- batter before oven baked) Ingredients: 1 cup cornmeal [...]
I get a lot of questions and requests to help people with their ‘diets’ (by the way I am not a registered dietitian or nutritionist and all my advice is based on my experience and what I read.) The very first thing I ask them to do is to create a food journal for three [...]
Appears courtesy of Get Fit Naturally. Clean eating is a buzzword you hear often, but what exactly is “clean eating”? Basically, it’s eating food in its most natural state, or as close to it as possible. It isn’t a diet that you rely on to lose a few pounds; it’s a lifestyle that as a [...]
I don’t know how I came across this article, but it was on Active.com and it piqued my interest immediately. It was titled ‘What’s On A Pro Triathlete’s Grocery List’ and I just had to know what they ate. The article featured Chris McCormack, Sarah Haskins and Conrad Stoltz. Here is their list and their favorites. [...]
Recently MattyO of Stay Strong and Positive was having a twitter conversation regarding Sweet Potatoes and I had to chime in with my recipe for sweet potato-amole or sweet potatamole. What is that you are asking yourself aren’t you? It is essentially a smashed sweet potato that has avocado mixed into it. In my attempt to [...]
Appears courtesy of For the Love of Kale. If you walk into a grocery store, I’m sure the first thing on your brain isn’t kale. But it should be. And why not? It could save the world. You know, like Superman. It’s big, strong, always does its job, and has a cape – if you [...]
When I lived in New York one of my buddies would call me approximately every 2 months and without saying hello would say: Paella Time. This was code for I’m making it this weekend so stop eating and be sure to bring your hunger. He made one of the best paella’s I ever ate, and [...]

Appears courtesy of Team Intrafit. Many people who begin a fitness program find themselves asking what is whey protein? Protein is essential for all living things and whey protein has gotten the reputation of being the “king” of all proteins for us humans. During the mid 1900′s, researchers were experimenting with proteins from plant and [...]
Appears courtesy of Aimee of I Tri To Be Me. Fall season is around the corner so I’m sure we shall see the return of the Pumpkin Latte at Starbucks or your favorite coffee shop. I really like the drink, but I could do without spending the money. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and [...]
As an endurance athlete you train for hours on end and burn endless amounts of energy (ie. calories.) I’ll did the Boise Ironman 70.3 race in early June. It’s a race where you swim 1.2 miles, ride your bike 56, and then run 13.1 miles all in one day. So, the last few weeks have [...]
Courtesy of Lindsay of Cotter Crunch Raw Blondies Have you ever had Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanutbutter? Let me just say, my husband and I put a MAJOR dent in jar in just the 24 hours we had it before we left for vacation.. It is so good that the hubs and I were fighting over who got the spoon. I tried [...]
