I’m sure you’ve seen some of the memes out there about coming out of quarantine unrecognizable due to weight gain. I’m taking the opposite approach. I’ve been indulging a bit too much on yummy food and drinks lately, so I’m trying to take advantage of my extended stay at home as an opportunity to eat healthy, work out hard, and come out in better shape than I went in! My hard-and-fast daily quarantine rules are as follows: Do a Peloton {Read More}
Weekend Recap: Halloween Festivities, Final Campaign Events, and Mountain Planning
November 5, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Weekend recap from October 27/28. I wrote about last weekend being a turning point for my campaign, where I finally ditched my imposter syndrome and started feeling like I might actually win this. However, that made me a little worried… was I getting overconfident, and would I hit some major snag that would make me regret feeling so good? This weekend, at least, the answer was no. My weekend kicked off Friday promptly at 5:30pm, with a coffee meeting with {Read More}
Giveaway: EatSmart Precision CalPal Scale
January 13, 2018 by 53 Comments
This week has been full of bad news – first all the pipes burst in my townhouse in upstate New York, causing major flooding, and then I got word that my grandmother passed away :( So forgive me for not yet writing up my New Year’s resolutions – hopefully I’ll get to that next week. In the meantime, I wanted to share about a new scale that can help you stay on track with your healthy eating goals for 2018. {Read More}

This post was sponsored by Tai Pei and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. This morning, I attended one of my absolute favorite Colorado events: Fitness on the Rocks. It’s kind of a combo of fitness expo and tons of workout classes, all held in and around the beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater. This was my second year attending, and I had so much fun – but now I’m pretty spent! So more on that to come Monday :) {Read More}
Weekend Recap: Short and Sweet
February 20, 2017 by Leave a Comment
What a quick weekend! I got home at 11pm Thursday night, and had to be out the door at 4:30am Friday to do a volunteer shift at Denver Rescue Mission before work. It was a busy day at work, coupled with another volunteer activity in the afternoon – this one at Girls Inc. A group of my colleagues organized an event where we led the girls in various activities. I was responsible for the cookie decorating station, which was definitely {Read More}
Why I Weigh Myself Every Day (Review: EatSmart Digital Scale)
January 21, 2017 by 8 Comments
This morning, I jumped on my scale after waking up (and doing my 10/20/30 and hitting the bathroom). I was pretty pumped to see that my weight is the lowest it’s been in seven years, and more than ten pounds from where I was two years ago. And the best part is, because I weigh myself every day, I know this isn’t some crazy anomaly. There is a common piece of advice in the weight loss world that you shouldn’t weigh {Read More}
A Small Change to My Snacking Habit (Sponsored by Somersaults)
January 14, 2017 by 2 Comments
This post was sponsored by Somersaults as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I’ve written before about how little changes can add up to big results, and how one of my 2017 new year’s resolutions is to start each day with a very small healthy habit. Every morning, the very first thing I do after getting out of bed is 10 pushups, 20 lunges, and 30 plank shoulder taps. {Read More}

This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. Today was a bit of crazy day! I’ve had terrible insomnia the last two nights, and only got 3-5 hours of sleep each night… which meant I woke up feeling pretty terrible. I kind of wanted to just hibernate and do nothing, but I’m hosting a fall house party tonight so I needed to get up and going. Plus, with my October ClassPass {Read More}
June Goal Progress: Week 4 Check In
June 27, 2016 by 4 Comments
It’s the final week of my no-sugar month, and I am so excited. There have been enough temptations in the last week that I have seriously considered cheating just this once and having a cookie (or whatever). But I stuck with it, didn’t cheat, and I’m pretty proud of myself for that. And, it will make dessert taste all that much sweeter come Friday! Not really too much to report this week that’s different than last week, though. I think what {Read More}
June Goal Progress: Week 3 Check In
June 20, 2016 by Leave a Comment
So what is the hardest part of no-sugar month? The darn heat wave that’s taken over most of the country! Despite the altitude, Colorado was unfortunately not spared the heat. It was in the high 90s all weekend – hot enough to where I started questioning why I had moved there instead of clear up to Canada. And then all I possibly wanted to eat was ice cream and smoothies and other frozen sweet things that I couldn’t have because of {Read More}
