Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world’s greatest athletes. Marshall “Major” Taylor I finally finished! The 9-day cleanse, that is. When I began the two pre-cleanse days, I was weighing in at 202.5 pounds. Two days later, I began the Isagenix 9-day program, and this is where this video recap [...]

Cleanse day two (boo hoo!)
Okay, people, let’s keep it real. I like food. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that multiple times, both in text and on video. I know you know that I know I’m an emotional eater. So, imagine this scenario. For two days, you aren’t eating, tasting, enjoying a meal. You are ingesting nutritious stuff, mind you, but [...]
Cleanse Day One and Fun in the Sun
Aloha! And a great big good morning to San Francisco, Austin, Washington D.C. and Raleigh! My first day using the Isagenix Cleanse for Life was bearable. I wasn’t as hungry as I thought I’d be… but boy, do I miss food. I like eating. I realized today that one of the consistent sources of satisfaction [...]
Let's Get it Started!
So, I’ve been in a holding pattern over the last couple of weeks. My body has gotten used to training at the level I’m at, and my brain has settled back into a comfort zone of mediocrity. As I was cleaning out my files yesterday, I came across my HMSA “Health Pass” booklet that I [...]
Updated Eating Info

The Healthy Eating Equation
“Food is an important part of a balanced diet.” Fran Lebowitz I don’t want y’all to think that all I eat is chocolate cake. I mean, I do get some great stuff in between, so I thought I’d dedicate this blog entirely to my current eating plan. Although I’m still getting it together, for the most [...]
The Weigh In
What’s on your mind? Thanks for asking, facebook! Here’s the short answer: Sunday weigh-in. I put it off until the last possible minute, but I still weighed in and took my measurements because– what can I say?– I like consistency. My friend M.C. also sent me his weigh-in. Here’s what it looks like: I know, [...]
Chocolate Cake, White Wine and a Workout
I just thought I’d put it all out there. I celebrated my nephew’s birthday at an Italian (-American) chain restaurant last night. I’m sure that other women can relate- I had a MEAN chocolate craving. The kind that won’t be resolved without… chocolate. Now, I’ve been eating fairly well for the last 6 weeks. I’ve [...]
You Don't Miss What You Don't Have
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder…” That’s what people in long distance relationships say. Well, I’ve never been in a long distance relationship, so I have no idea. Tonight, however, I’m tackling my relationship with food– or at least, taking note of it. And I’m hoping in that relationship, “Out of sight, out of mind” [...]
