This vacation I basically took a complete rest from it all, including running. I have been having some issues with my knee, not at all while running, but enough for me to take pause and take off from running while away. I knew that between all the Disney parks we were visiting that I would get plenty of exercise just walking!I averaged between 15,000 and 25,000 steps a day according to my fitbit, although there was a day and a half in the the middle of the trip that I was without my fitbit ...

New Beginnings…..
Hey everyone! I am back!!! Vacation was awesome! I pretty much took a step back from everything including work, school, this blog and even running for about 10 days. I can safely tell you that it was awesome!!!! While I was away I really wanted to reevaluate everything from running to school to this blog, and my conclusion is that I love two out of three, but one is necessary to advance my career. I am not willing to give any up, but I feel that the readers of this blog have gotten ...
AND……..Vacation has begun!
Hey all!! Happy almost Friday!!! My vacation has officially begun and I am leaving on a jet plane tomorrow for sunny, warm Florida! I know my blogging has been sporadic, but I am in the process of revamping my site and will hopefully have it live by the time I get back! I will (hopefully) be posting during my vacation, but no promises. If you’d like to follow my adventures in Florida, be sure and follow me on Instagram at Runninglovingliving. I will be back on the 29th! ...

A week of school work
Happy Friday!!! I know I have been pretty silent over here all week, but I have been busy with school. I am in the last few weeks of two classes and have been bombarded with discussions and term papers. Since I am headed to Florida next Friday, I need to have all my school work done prior to leaving. With all the writing I have had to do for school, I have had none left for blogging. Tomorrow is my brother's wedding and my husband's birthday, so I doubt I will get any done at least until ...
Monday Motivation
Lately, I have not been super motivated to eat clean, despite participating in a challenge with my co-workers that requires a weekly weigh in (which I forgot to do this morning). Yesterday I had a dressing room meltdown (more on that to come later this week) and it made me realize that if I want to lose those pesky extra pounds I have been carrying, I will have to really straighten out my diet. Today I start writing down exactly what I am eating so that I can see in black and white ...
Happy National Walk To Work Day

Since 2004 the first Friday in April has been designated as the National Walk To Work Day. This day was created to encourage Americans to walk more and to become healthier. Unfortunately, my job is too far away to walk to work, but I try to walk at least 20-30 minutes on my dinner break when possible and weather permitting. I ...
March Favorites featuring @SarahDussault @GetSkinnyBook @Eatrageous @WalkingDead_AMC
March came in like a lion and went out like one, dumping a few inches of wet, slushy snow on us yesterday morning. I am hoping that with April will come some warm, sunny weather! Even though March wasn’t the best month weather wise, I still had a few favorites: Sarah Dussault’s book: Get Skinny Again! What I really love about Sarah is that openly admits to NOT being naturally skinny, she battled weight gain during college, just like many students. Sarah created her own ...
