- The First Day of the Rest of Your Healthy Life
Yey! As I type this, we’re now 26 42 77 runners on the TBR 30 Challenge! I’m feeling two things right now: 1) Excited about the journey we’re all going to go through together, and uhm 2) Nervous because, man oh man, there’s no backing out now! Hah! You probably feel the same way, don’t [...]

- Quit Dieting. Start Living.
I am so done with dieting. So done! For the past couple of months, you were completely unaware—of course, I don’t tell you everything here—that I was frustrated about my ballooning weight. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting heavier when I was working out like a mad woman (double my usual training program [...]

- The Downside to Eating Healthy
So I’ve been eating relatively well since the end of July. I can’t believe that I’ve gone this long on low-sodium, low simple sugar, and as little processed food as possible. What I thought would be a killer diet turned out to be a lifestyle change I can actually live with. Don’t get me wrong. [...]
- Low Fat Chocolate Milk for Recovery
I don’t know how many times I’ve read about LOW FAT CHOCOLATE MILK being a good recovery drink after a run. Experts say that the high protein and high carb combination make it the perfect drink to replenish tired muscles and replace lost fluids during an intense or long run. It’s been mentioned so many [...]
- Eating More to Lose Weight
I have a confession to make. For the past month, I’ve been in rehab: food rehab, that is. I’m learning how to eat all over again. Or, let’s just say, I’m learning how to eat. Period. Almost like a child in preschool, I’m learning about proper food portions, choices, and timing…slowly but surely. Next to [...]
- Youth Juice: My Miracle Cure
As most of you know, I was battling a persistent, unforgiving, and embarrassingly noisy cough the past weeks. Prior to that, I had been getting colds on and off the past months, too. This was surprising since before I ran my series of marathons I hadn’t gotten sick—nope, not even sore throat—for over a year. [...]
- Oatmeal Freak
I used to loathe oatmeal. My mom would make my sister and I eat this for breakfast before school. Before I even picked up the spoon, I would feel like throwing up. I never ate oatmeal again…until I got married. Hubby introduced Quakers Old-Fashioned oatmeal into my life. (No, this is not a paid advertisement!) [...]
