Pre-Bike to Work Day – Testing, Testing..Is this thing on?

May

2013

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day observed all over the state of Maryland and Washington, D.C. and I’m super excited. I’m planning to bike from my house to Penn Station, take the MARC to Union Station and then bike to my office in Georgetown. However, that seemed like a lot to try for the very first time ...

Stuff I Love!: Eat Fit

Jul

2012

Ok, this is something that I really need. Introducing Dumb-Bell Cutlery, a must for people actively looking to lose weight but not prepared to stop eating. Eat yourself skinny with these 1kg knives and forks and the 2kg dessert spoon (because you only use one hand fatty). This is going to revolutionise the diet industry ...

Does Weightlifting Cause Gerd Symptoms?

Apr

2012

via livestrong.com Looks like after this morning’s barfing episode after my Jackie Warner Xtreme Time Saver routine, the vigorous weight lifting is off the table.

I was once a track star. Not really. I was on the track team, but I was not the fastest and rarely won any races. I ran sprints and hurdles, namely 300M high hurdles, 110 hurdles, 200M, 400M and 800M relay. It turns out that being short is not an advantage when it comes to ...

2010

If you know me personally or follow my tweets, then you likely know that I’m an active gal. I enjoy snowboarding, downhill mountain biking, yoga, gardening, cooking and a variety of other activities (too many to name). Unfortunately now that I am over 30 (sssh, don’t tell anyone) my metabolism seems to have begun its ...
