#MoonWalkNYC Weekend–>>The Main Event 26.2 miles

July 31, 2013 By Toni Church

    Wow!  It is hard to believe that the Moonwalk was over a week ago!  26.2 miles of walking was much harder than I ever anticipated both physically and mentally. I want to highlight for you the good, the bad and the ugly of this walk. The Good:  I walked for a good cause and I finally completed my goal of a marathon! The Bad:  It was physically painful from mile 17 until the end. The Ugly:  Many of us were covered in rashes from the humidity and heat.  I had rashes ...

Countdown to the Moonwalk!

July 15, 2013 By Toni Church

  This Saturday night I will be embarking on my first marathon, albeit a walking marathon, but still a marathon.  I am nervous and excited to take on this adventure as part of the Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield Team with my friend Crystal, my friend Margo from Brooklyn Fit Chick and my fellow Real Health Contributor's Rosemary and Phyllis! Am I prepared???  Hmmmm, well, not as much as I'd like to be, but I am confident I will complete this walk, even if it takes me the entire night.  I ...

Dealing with Stress

April 12, 2013 By Toni Church

Happy Friday all!!!   After having pneumonia in January I knew I need to make a few changes in my life and eliminating as much stress as possible from my life became a priority.  I tend to worry and stress unnecessarily about things that I cannot change, at least not at this time in my life.  Unfortunately, we all have stress in our lives and it is how we deal with this stress, whether it stems from work or home, we need to take a good look at the situation and not allow it to cause us undue ...

A Confession and Week 4 Brooklyn Half Training Recap featuring @Fitorbit

April 3, 2013 By Toni Church

In my quest to find balance this year I feel that I am doing pretty good, except in the area of blogging.  You may have noticed my posts are shorter and less frequent on most weeks, especially in the last two months.  School has been much harder than I thought it was going to be and it is taking up many of my nights, so unfortunately the first thing that slacks when my time is low is blogging. I plan on doing a better job with blogging for both you and me.  I think the key to finding balance ...

My Focus On Preventive Health

February 11, 2013 By Toni Church

After being sick for the last couple of months and then battling pneumonia, my focus is now on preventive health.  When my doctor took blood tests in January during my battle with pneumonia, they discovered I had Epstein Barr AKA mono.  By the numbers it was determined I was in the convalescent stage, which means the end stage.  I have to say that I was actually happy to find this out because this explained why I was feeling so sick the last few months.  This was a diagnosis that actually made ...

Happy 2 Year Blogiversary to Running, Loving, Living Plus an @Active_Products Giveaway

January 29, 2013 By Toni Church

WOW!!! I cannot believe I have been blogging for 2 whole years!!! My very first post was on January 27, 2011 (I thought it was the 29th, thus the 2-day late post). I started Running, Loving, Living in 2011 as a way for me to stay accountable to my quest to run a sub-2 hour half marathon. I achieved this goal on May 1st, 2011 at the Long Island Marathon, with a time of 1:54:36!!! What I found along the way was my confidence, new friends and a supportive community!!! Blogging has opened my ...

Working out at Work #RealHealth

January 25, 2013 By Toni Church

I haven't found that 25th hour yet, have you??? Any amount of exercise I can add into my day leaves me with more time to do everything else I have to do!!!  Studies have shown that three 10 minute bursts of exercise can be just as effective as a 30 minute workout, plus it relieves the pressure to fit in a 30 minute workout every single day.  I think any amount of exercise is better than none!!! I would love it if you would stop by Real Health and check out my post how I workout during ...

My Thoughts Post Hurricane Sandy

November 9, 2012 By Toni Church

These last couple of weeks since Hurricane Sandy have been a crazy whirlwind, from power outages to gas shortages to the loss of my stepfather to trying to drive around amongst all the downed trees and disable street lights.  It has been crazy!  I am lucky that I did not suffer much personal loss from the storm, but so many people I know did and it is just horrible.  Picking up the pieces is even harder, but we will all survive, rebuild and we will hopefully look back on this terrible time as ...

Meal Planning and Motivation Monday

October 8, 2012 By Toni Church

How quickly the weeks pass!!!  I am once again participating in the meal planning challenge hosted by Laura and Jill!!!!  This week I was slightly lazy and I didn't chop everything up I needed for the week, although I do have Monday off thanks to Christopher Columbus so I may actually do all my chopping today!!! Last week I pretty much followed my meal plan exactly except when the weekend came,  I ended up eating at the diner for breakfast on Saturday.   Sunday was a mix of veggies, dip ...

My Tips For Fitting In Fitness

September 28, 2012 By Toni Church

Fitting in the daily necessities of life like work, cooking and family time is hard enough but when you top that off with school plus additional fitness activities, time management gets even harder.   If I could add just 2 extra hours to each day I know I could find a better balance, but until someone figures out how to magically make time appear I just find ways to fit it in!!! I am blogging over at Real Health today about this very subject!!!!  I would love for you all to head on over there ...
