Lucini contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d be interested in sampling their products.  Olive oil, sauces, vinaigrettes?  Where do I sign up?!?! I’ve been a fan of the Mediterranean Diet for some time now.  Lucini‘s products fit perfectly into my eating philosophy. There’s nothing like a freshly baked loaf of Italian [...]

I felt like I was on a Liquid Diet on Wednesday. Yogurt for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch, and soup for dinner. My lunchtime smoothie was very simple, but included healthy and moderately filling ingredients. 2 frozen bananas 1 cup of milk 1 tablespoon of peanut butter Hold up… Liquid diet?!?!  No thanks! Can anyone [...]

Most of the time, I get dressed up to go somewhere and leave the house feeling crappy.  I’ll feel like my outfit or hair or makeup just isn’t quite right. But every now and then I have the rare moment when it all comes together and I feel 100% good about myself.  I feel like [...]

My friend Jesse loves PF Changs.  He has a Warrior Card and receives discounts because he dines there so often.  He’s borderline obsessed. Last night Jared and I had the pleasure of dining with Jesse and watched him work his Changs magic.  He listened to my dinner requests, but did all of the ordering himself [...]

It’s been a crazy summer.  While it’s been tons of fun, I’m SO glad that things are calming down and I get can back to “normal.” And “normal” apparently includes trying to prevent Miles from peeing on my flowers.  I’m doing a good job, huh? I need to tend to my tiny Marigolds that are [...]

Oh, the dog days of summer.  Yesterday was HOT! A real scorcher! I didn’t think Miles was going to survive our walk to the Copley Square Farmers Market. After I woke up yesterday morning, I decided to do another 10 minute workout.  This time I opted for a lower body routine.  Using only my body [...]

I had a bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins for breakfast. At first I was disappointed that I had forgotten to buy milk at the grocery store.  Until I realized I had almond milk in the back of the fridge!  Tasted the same to me and lasts a lot longer than a gallon of regular milk! [...]

Yup, back home from vacation.  Back to work.  Back on the run! I had a busy day at work and a day of delicious meals. Oatmeal for breakfast, a big salad for lunch, a Mojo bar for a snack, and a peanut butter and banana smoothie for a 2nd snack. Since it was warm and [...]

I can’t resist ordering food while I’m at work.  The Healthworks Cafe always has delicious specials that tempt me at mealtime. Here are some of the things I’ve ordered recently: A fruit and yogurt parfait! A turkey, cranberry, spinach, and goat cheese quesadilla! A salad with chicken and lots of vegetables! A wrap with chicken, [...]
