  • Getting the Shut Eye

    Today is my rest day and as much as I love my workouts — there are times when a rest day can’t come soon enough.  I have been fighting off a sore throat for a few days but starting last night, it started to win. I was thinking about going to group training this morning…

  • A Junk Food Hangover

    So, last night I had Pizza. Cheesy, greasy Pizza. It’s hard living paleo all the time and sometimes it really is easier to just say Ahh, the hell with it — I want Pizza! So I did and I didn’t just have one slice — I think I had 3. I took off half the…

  • Women’s Set Points

    Women’s Set Points | Hunt.Gather.Love.. So interesting — I am conscience of body fat percentages and often wonder how women feel when they have sub 20% body fat. All I have read is about the danger of visceral fat, around your mid-section is the area you should worry about. Since I am not a super…

  • Platinum Sit Ups

    This morning started off great.  It’s cold and blustery but at this point — it is winter so it’s expected and no excuse for missing my workout.  It was 2 15 minute circuits and of course kicks your butt!  One of the exercises we did was a platinum sit up. You need some heavy dumb…

  • What if bad fat isn’t so bad? – Health – Diet and nutrition

    What if bad fat isn’t so bad? – Health – Diet and nutrition – msnbc.com. So much of what I am reading lately questions our common day notions of ‘bad’ fat.  I remember clearly when fat free food started hitting the market and yet we are fatter as a country. It’s not unreasonable to want…

  • Women Laughing Alone With Salad

    Women Laughing Alone With Salad | The Hairpin. Ok – those that know me, know I love my salad. Salad Time is synonymous with Steph.  My friend Jenny sent this link to me and these women must have some special seeds on their salads because as much salad as I eat – I certainly don’t…

  • Happy New Year 2011!

    Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that today is 1/1/11. When you are young, time seems to go by at a snail’s pace and it’s only when you are out of school, living a grown up life, do you begin to realize how fast life goes by — This is the year I turn…

  • Restaurant trends for 2011

    Eating out in 2011 will be about health! Although skeptical, this is great to read because it shows that it’s on the minds of those in the food business.  Of course the fact that they are mentioning improving kids’ nutrition makes me even happier! Let’s keep our eye on this one — Happy eating in…

  • Sleeping In

    I have got to get back on the clean eating program again.  I have had cookies, pie, ice cream, whipped cream, and BREAD! Yes i did — last night when we were out for Scott’s birthday.  I feel like crap though — not sleeping very well, overall fatigued. Shows what crap eating does to your…
