  • Did You know? Certain Foods Create Mucus

    Although losing an hour in the spring is tough, I feel more energized and in the mood to organize. I have committed to going through closets in the next month and getting them situated. Let’s hope this energy is a sign that my winter blues are drifting away. I am still having asthma fits during…

  • Time to Feel Good Again

    It’s odd to say but Daylight Savings Time doesn’t really bother me. I woke up this morning in a pretty good mood and am not super tired. I wonder if that will last though…. hmmmm? I love getting an extra hour of sunlight to help lighten my mood. Let’s just hope that the whispers of…

  • The Winter That Never Ends…

    This week has been really odd for me – just feeling really sluggish and unmotivated. I think it’s the lack of sunlight and all this snow. I am so sick of winter – I don’t mind the seasons, but man, this winter has gone on forever. I wanted to follow up with my post from…

I love my Keurig and use it often but the info in the post has me questioning this common kitchen tool. “very little is known about the longterm effects of…

  • Aging and the Distortion of Beauty

    I have had a rough morning and it’s not even 8A! We did some new super sets yesterday morning and my shoulders and deltoids are not appreciating it very much this morning. Then when I got into the gym, I noticed a strong odor of polyurethane which for any asthmatic, is not really welcome and…

    This weekend we went to a charity Martini’s mixer for a great cause: Backpack Buddies.

Backpack Buddies also provides food to our school children during the summer…

  • Go Get It in the Third Quarter

    Scott had to be at work super early this AM, so I decided to switch things up and go to a later morning class at Highbar CrossFit.  It was me and three others and a ton of fun.  I was raring to go after it was over! I watched the first show of the new Tonight…
