Last night when I wrote about exercise truths turned myths, and how health tips are always changing, I listed the main diet and health myths that came to my mind.

Hi there! Today was food day at work, and I had a working meeting over lunch where lunch was provided. It was definitely a day surrounded by food. I was able to contain myself and didn’t indulge too much. I hate not feeling hungry for dinner, and tonight’s menu was a good one! Mexican black [...]

Since the sun wakes up so darn late this time of year, my two work-week runs that I start around 5:30 have had to be run on the treadmill. What I really need to do is put on my layers and reflective gear and head outside anyway, but I haven’t yet gotten it out of [...]

Going to a spin class at 5:30 in the morning will put some crazy thoughts in your head. Why oh why did I wake up early for this? I wonder what minute the sun comes up today? Oh, look at everyone else! How fast are they pedaling? Crap. I have to email (insert name) back [...]

Evening! Boy am I going to surprise Shane tonight for dinner! Thankfully, I was able to push up my client schedule, thanks to some flexible clients, and had about 45 minutes to get everything in order.

I’ve mentioned before that I always have dessert and/or a nighttime meal/snack a couple hours after dinner, but I should also mention that I have a snack in between each meal, too. I ate my oatmeal around 7:30 before leaving for work this morning, but then when my tummy rumbled around 10:00, I answered it [...]
