A few months ago I got an email from someone at Tufts Health Plan asking if I’d be interested in contributing to a story in their Well! magazine on the Tufts 10k for Women and the role nutrition plays in training and running the race. Getting emails from the folks over at Tufts Health Plan [...]

Despite my lack of posting, a lot has been going on! Here are a few of my latest food and fitness happenings: Funk and I won two tickets from Red White Boston on Twitter to the Pan Mass Challenge Ride, Wine, and Dine Tastes of the World event at the Boston Harbor Hotel. It was [...]

I don’t follow politics much, but ever since Michelle Obama set foot in the White House, I’ve tuned in a bit more to follow her push for a healthier America and reverse of the epidemic of childhood obesity in this country. Thank you thank you thank you, first lady, for directing people, food companies, and [...]

(photo source: Lululemon Goaltender) Wow you guys submitted some ambitious fitness goals. I’m excited for all of you, whether you’re planning on running a 5k or 50 miler, or getting your swim stroke perfected, putting these goals in writing (which you did in the comment section) will help keep you on track when trying to [...]

Awesome giveaway in today’s post, people! You may recall I hosted an “Ask the RD” breakfast table at FitBloggin in March. There were some incredible vendors there, including a new athletic wear company called Thriv. Thriv supplied super-soft bamboo and cotton FitBloggin t-shirts to all attendees.

I also love yoga and for the past few years have been dreaming of one day going to the Kripalu Center for Yoga & [...]

Over the weekend Sarah (remember her from my diet.com videos?) invited me to test drive EA, the Wii interactive fitness game system at the EA Fitness Lounge in Boston. I’m not a big video game player (zero attention span, and cartoons make my eyes glaze over) but was interested in trying EA to see if [...]

A few months ago I caught the multi-sport bug when I completed my first triathlon. I loved the event, and even the training that went with it. Apparently Funk caught the bug watching me train and compete and we both decided we wanted to do an event like that together. Since we both love cycling [...]

For the past 30 days, my friend Nicole and I have committed ourselves to a self-started 30-day Yoga Challenge. You may remember Nicole as my friend who is willing to take on new fitness challenges with me, like our first ½ marathon and first triathlon. After a summer of triathlon training, we were looking forward [...]
