I woke up bright and early today excited to run at the park. The mornings have cooled down a little so it is actually nice to run outside without the scorching heat that I had to battle during the summer months. 4 Mile run = 3 mile jog and 1 mile alternating (1 min walk/1 […]
After a week of being in the hospital, my mom is back home with us. She was discharged yesterday after her tests came out negative. We are still watching her very closely. She will continue to see her doctors regularly and soon she will be wearing a heart monitor device so the doctors can keep […]

It is full of calcium and often low in calories and fat. I like Chobani yogurts because they offer a variety of flavors and they taste great. The […]
I am all about short cuts on days where life gets really busy, and that includes short cut on food preparation. I do my best to have at least 2 servings of vegetables every day. I usually eat vegetables with my lunch and dinner plate. Frozen vegetable packs are a staple in our freezer because […]
