Japanese Scallion Pancake + Lower Body Workout Video

Before I get to today’s recipes…I want to just give a HUGE thank you to SumoSkinny which is a local Boston magazine that is  ”the ultimate guide to college life. Part local, part national, and all college” The magazine is online as well as print. You can find it in local restaurants, coffee shops, fitness centers and in college campuses.

It’s as Easy as One, Two Peas: Pesto Chicken Penne with Sweet Green Peas

It’s as Easy as One, Two Peas: Pesto Chicken Penne with Sweet Green Peas

Try this easy recipe from The Healthy Chick! Remember how I told you all that I’m a huge fan of experimenting with new recipes? Well, this afternoon my sister had the brilliant idea of making use of my grandma’s homemade pesto we had stored in the freezer. (Sidenote: freezing pesto is a super practical way of making it last longer, while keeping it fresh and tasty. My grandma taught me a little trick to freeze in ice cube trays for individual servings.) Once I knew pesto was on the menu, my little brain started to ponder. After a trip to…

Live from Fat Tuesday

Live from Fat Tuesday

Happy Fat Tuesday everyone! Although given the obesity epidemic in this country, isn’t every day Fat Tuesday?  No, I’m just having some fun … kind of. As a special treat, Lisa Johnson Fitness decided to send me down to New Orleans to write this post LIVE from the middle of Mardi Gras, and let me tell you, something smells a bit off. But seriously, there is a mass of humanity everywhere I look, and I do mean mass. There are a lot of loose fitting shirts traveling through New Orleans today, and — oh, oh!! No, please pull your shirt…

Running on Clomid

Running on Clomid

Ok, ok, I know I promised to write about something else and I really was going to do a Bondi Band review today but those things take time and I have about 20 minutes to write this blog, jump in the shower, and be at work on time.  No problem. The past week I have been enjoying the fun filled experience of taking Clomid, a hormone that basically is supposed to help your body prepare for ovulation.  When I asked my doctor about side effects, as I have heard different things from different people, I got everything from some people…

The Reluctant Hubby: Revolutionary Workouts

The Reluctant Hubby: Revolutionary Workouts

A Reluctant Hubby of Colonial times, George Washington crossed the Delaware but let others paddle In honor of today being Presidents’ Day, which was called Washington’s Birthday back when I was growing up, I’d like to sell you a car! Actually, I wanted to look back, about 225 or so years ago, and talk about the workouts that hubbys did back in Colonial times. Our Founding Fathers were a fit crew; they had to be in order to repel the British and start a new country well before the Internet was invented. Sure there was plenty of farming and cobbling…

When You Are Not Running…

When You Are Not Running…

Not running can be very very hard on a runner.  Not to offend anyone, but I am not sure others who are not a slave to running totally get it (actually those who do not run are the sane ones and we are all probably just a tad crazy or addicts, or at least I am).   Many people who do not run, simply cannot understand why it is such a big deal for me to tone down the running or workouts, take more rest days, and just relax.   Many people would jump at the chance to sit around and be…

Quotable Sunday: Dream Big

Quotable Sunday: Dream Big

Every Sunday I look to Rachel from Healthy Chicks to kick off my week with a motivational quote, and this week it’s so fitting!   How many of you tend to let your dreams and envisions for your “ideal life” get the best of you at times? Well, trust me you are not alone. You know what they say, we all want what we don’t have. But what about stopping to think once in a while what you do have. And not in the cliche kind of way. Of course, we are all grateful to have food on our plates,…

Friday Favorites: Kombucha, Sweat & Love Letters

Friday Favorites: Kombucha, Sweat & Love Letters

Happy Friday loves! Hope your weekend is off to a good start so far. Today I took myself on an amazing date to Whole Foods, where I stayed for a good portion of the afternoon. I had a lot of work to get done today, and most of it I could do without the internet, so I decided to unplug from my Mac for a solid 4+ hours. However, I did bring an old-fashioned notebook and my IIN iPod in order to catch up on my latest lectures for nutrition school. I loved everything I learned about today, from the…

Clomid Crazies

Clomid Crazies

Ok, so maybe I am not going crazy, just yet, but this title just stuck in my head and I was really excited to use it so there we go Clomid Crazies.   A few days ago I was actually debating posting on this because I was starting to get the idea that maybe this is TMI….and maybe it is.  However, during the week I got such wonderful emails, and PACKAGES from amazing bloggers and readers that how could I not post.  Plus, even more importantly not only am I gaining support, but I feel as if I am also…

Fighting Carpal Tunnel: Ways to Prevent It

Fighting Carpal Tunnel:  Ways to Prevent It

Carpal Tunnel can be really painful, but you can get rid of it I’ve been feeling the very beginnings of carpal tunnel, some aching in my hands and wrists.  Normally I ignore little nagging pains but I’m not going to mess around with this at all.  I’m taking action, immediately. It came on during a huge writing week.  I wrote something like 10,000 words on my trusty laptop and that, I fear, is the problem.  Slouched on a couch, bad wrist angle … my keyboard is a source of income for me, I need to be smart here. Here’s what…
