Facing Reality

A friend of mine posted this yesterday on Pinterest (a new obsession & time suck) and it was perfect timing.  I needed a swift kick in the behind and this was just it!

While I have been doing well, for the most part, since I gave up weighing myself last fall, there are [...]

Review: Rise Bars

It is no secret that I am a fan of energy/protein bars.  I like portable food for times when I am in a hurry or need to refuel after a workout.  When I first started the gluten-free diet over 6 years ago, the choices for gluten-free bars were few & far between.  There were [...]

Healthy Take on Tuna Salad

I am always looking for a way to make my current meal choices healthier.  This not only helps my body, but it helps me to get out of a rut that I sometimes seem to fall in with foods.  I find something that I like and I like to eat it a lot.  Sometimes [...]

Soul Searching

I have been doing a lot of soul searching recently.  I have been thinking about what I will do when the kids are older and don’t need me at home as much as they do now.  I used to be in property management and while I liked what I did, I want something a [...]

Review: The New Rules of Lifting for Women

Strength training is an important part of my workout regimen.  It should be a part of your life, too, especially if you are a woman.  Why?  It helps keep our bones strong as we grow older.  My biggest struggle with strength training has always been not knowing what to do, when to do it [...]

Staying Balanced & Healthy

Technical Stuff

Since it is a new year, it is time to address goals.  I mentioned the other day that I had a goal to run 5 half marathons this year and several shorter races.  In order to make sure that I am training as safely as I can, I began training last February by heart [...]

Cold Weather Running

I love when people ask if I run when it is cold outside.  I giggle now, but I used to be one of those people who hated to be outside when it was cold.  Yes, I still despise being cold, but I think that I am becoming acclimated because I am finding my cold [...]

Flying Feather 2011 Recap

Thanksgiving day started out with a 4 mile race around Dublin – Glacier Ridge Metro Park to be more specific.  The morning temperature was 37 degrees, but according to local meteorologists, the sun was supposed to come out shortly after the race began.  That never happened and there was a chilling wind, so I [...]

Feeding the Boy–Part I

I have written several articles on what Jon likes to eat and gluten-free kid-friendly choices.  Surprisingly this hasn’t helped us out recently because Jon has become extremely picky.  I am sure some of it is control on his part and maybe a touch laziness, but the bottom line is that he was not eating [...]
