Thirteen weeks. Thirteen is considered an unlucky number (Friday the 13th and all), but 13 has always been my lucky number. My Spanish teacher in high school once said, “In Spain, Friday the 13th is never an unlucky day. How can a FRIDAY be unlucky? It’s the start of the weekend?” And from that point [...]

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I had an absolutely fantastic weekend! After not feeling so great on Friday, I came back strong on Saturday and Sunday and made the most out of both days. I got in fun and challenging workouts this weekend, and I couldn’t be prouder of myself. (I’ll go into more detail on Friday [...]

My philosophy to food and healthy eating has always been about enjoying everything in a balanced, and sane way. Food is one of life’s greatest joys yet we’ve reached this really sad point where we’re turning food into the enemy, and something to be afraid of. I believe that when you use good ingredients to [...]

Wow, week 12 already. I swear that March is flying by, which is a great thing because March is usually the month that drags and drags for me. I haven’t been weighing myself daily – I stopped when I was away on my business trip a few weeks ago and then kept forgetting until I [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I am loving spring! The weather is warmer (although we’re expecting a bit of a cold front to come in tomorrow and the next day ), the days are longer, and people just seem to be in a better mood, don’t they? It was a long winter for everyone, and even though [...]

Tonight I didn’t feel like cooking, so I put together a quick dinner, due in large part to some smart purchases from Trader Joe’s: I started with the mushroom risotto. 1 serving has 150 calories, 3g fat, and 0 fiber. I had 1 1/2 servings tonight, and it equaled 5 points. Then, I steamed some [...]

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” ~Mark Twain I spent most of this weekend getting my house in order; a bit of spring cleaning, if you will. Even though the weather [...]

TGIF! You may be wondering what happened to RLR. Well, after giving it a lot of thought, and talking it over with Scale Warfare, I’ve decided (we’ve decided) to expand our workout updates to include all the different activities we’re taking part in, beyond interval training. We have something new in the works, but I’ll [...]
