Healthy Lunch Ideas – Make Your Lunch Great!

How many days do you wake up and consume only a cup of coffee before heading out to work? We all know that eating breakfast is the right choice – but how often do we just live our lives skipping that oh-so-important meal? If you aren’t in the habit of eating breakfast – start now! [...]

One of the goals that my study group is holding me accountable to is doing one fun exercise activity each week. This can be something new – a spin class, rock climbing, walking to some crazy new destination, etc. For this week, I chose a local bay area hike – the Dipsea – 679 steps [...]

Things I have done today: 1. One load in the dishwasher. 2. Dr. Oz, Andrew Zimmern. 3. Coffee. 4. Pouting at the weather. But enough of that, let’s take note of last nights absolutely awesome dinner!
