When traveling, I do not like trusting that I will find food I like on the road (or in the air). Whether I’m heading west to my beloved Colorado, taking a long weekend to visit my parents or attending a fabulous Blend Retreat, there are a few “must-haves” that I never forget.« Continue »

Where did my spring break go?!? Chicago didn’t provide much warm weather, but I’m hoping today and tomorrow finally get us in to the 50′s. That would at least finish spring break on a good note. « Continue »

I’m excited for the weekend, but definitely have a lot on my plate! Along with the usual running around (yoga class, grocery shopping and meal prep), I am taking my final test to earn certification as a health coach, fulfilling my supervision assignment at the school where I teach, and setting aside time to enjoy the Academy Awards ceremony. Whew! The weekend is jam-packed!

Happy Friday! I’m off to Florida for the long weekend! Bob and I will be vacationing with my parents until Monday, and we cannot wait. This little trip comes at a perfect time, as temperatures around here have really dropped lately. But before I go, here’s my weekly round-up:« Continue »
Friday’s Five: Christmas!
I took a few days off of blogging this week in order to unplug and spend quality time with my family. Bob and I went to the church I grew up in (near where my parents live) for Christmas Eve mass, and then spent the night at my parent’s house. We enjoyed a decadent Christmas Eve dinner and went driving to see Christmas lights before heading to bed. « Continue »

So Thankful
When I started Eat Move Balance in June, I had no idea the impact it would have on me. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy writing posts, I wasn’t sure I’d have readers, and I wasn’t sure if it was a silly thing to pursue in the first place. I was nervous.« Continue »
