Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that. We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox. Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them. And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best. One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is. Sad :( Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

Maui is hot (both in terms of temperature AND general bossy-ness). Love it. I don’t even mind the humidity, which adds 8 inches in horizontal volume to my pookie hair. I’ve been having issues getting on track with the time changes. Passing out by 10 pm, napping throughout the day (so not like me), while still waking up at 6 am (more like me). My body is so confused. If a picture could summarize my trip thus far, the above photo is a pretty good depiction. Here are a few more: We did a… Read more >

So I knew the chocolate SuperFood powder would be the perfect pre-race fuel. I combined it with a shot of iced coffee (leftover from yesterday’s… Read more >

Today was one of those “breath, take a step back, and count to ten” kind of days. Initially, I started my blog, as nothing more than a fun, therapeutic way for me to journal my attempt at living a healthy, semi-balanced life – including everything from gym time to cooking successes & messes, as well as my random thoughts and musings along the way…if others happen to enjoy reading, even better! Now, I have grown to ADORE blogging, and it’s all because of you guys! Who ever would have thought that sharing aspects of my… Read more >

I think it’s fairly obvious I’m not the most computer savvy person out there…but with the help of Sarah, Mara, and Caroline, I managed to make the much needed (and long overdue) switch to WordPress. Finally. I have been putting it off forever, because the idea all these <?/.> things really really scare me. So now I can continue to sort it out while in Hawaii. Am I a total freak for thinking vacation is the perfect time for a blog make-over? Nothing screams relaxation like formatting and codes and DNS settings. Basically Thursday was… Read more >
