Before I went on my run today I was trying to talk myself out of doing it. I felt tired and wanted to take a nap, but instead drank some coffee. I then started to tell myself I ran on Monday and Tuesday so maybe I should take today off. But I knew that didn’t sound convincing either so I kept looking outside and it kept looking like it was going to rain in the hopes that it would rain.

Today I’m sharing with you what I find is important to carry with me to the gym. So many times I wished that I had the that one thing in my bag that I happened to need but didn’t have! I suppose a lot of what I list will be similar to what you might bring to the gym with you, but maybe you’ll still find some items from my list that will make your trip to the gym even better.

My first week of classes at DeCore never happened. Despite my good intentions, it seemed everything was stacked against me. To avoid getting off topic I am going to skip all the details. The bottom line is that half of it was completely out of my control and the other half was all on me! That’s life!

It is a word I hate to label myself with. I’ve been avoiding it for some time now. Six years and 10 different addresses, 3 universities in 3 different states with 3 different degrees, 4 completely different full time jobs, and an up and down rollercoaster of relationships along the way. I am starting to worry I might have a slight commitment phobia.

Valentine’s day is coming up this Tuesday, and I wanted to post some recipes for a delicious meal that’s appropriate for any day that deserves celebrating.  I will be making a special dinner for my husband, and decided to share the menu with you.

I haven’t lived in Texas for very long, but I’ve already learned that autumn and winter are the best seasons for working out outside. Exercising outside is wonderful, because it can add a lot of variety and change to our fitness regime.

This is a long article, but bare with me, because the information you’ll learn here might be life changing for you. It was for me! Although I briefly mentioned the benefits of a plant-based diet in a previous post, the following article is much more extensive.

If you’re looking for new recipes that are satisfying, hearty and delicious, but but are lower in calories and better for you than their traditional versions, this might be a good place to start!
