So, I did it. I signed up for the Louisville Sports Commission Half Marathon which will be on November 10!! That means I REALLY need to start training hard.

Thrive Kitchen and Plant-Based Living
In the last few months, I have learned a lot about healthy living and eating. One of the main lessons I have learned is that eating a plant-based diet (a diet centered around plants, vegetables and plant-based proteins) is the healthiest way to go. Unfortunately, while there is quite a bit of information on plant-based… Continue reading Thrive Kitchen and Plant-Based Living
Eat Breakfast!
There is a new study out that men who skipped breakfast had more chances of having a heart attack.

Healthy Meals for the Whole Family

A Few of My Favorite Things
I have had a few obsessions recently. My first one is a little sad. Unfortunately the other day while my boyfriend was mowing the lawn, he ran over a nest of baby rabbits. We were both mortified and I actually ended up taking one to a veterinarian who specializes in wildlife and they said they… Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things
Lemon and Cayenne
Lemon and ground cayenne pepper in a glass of water. Doesn't sound very appetizing, right? Well, this was one of the new objectives of the Extreme Summer Shred this month. Every morning, we are supposed to drink a glass of water with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of cayenne pepper. I admit, I… Continue reading Lemon and Cayenne

Less Stress = Healthier Me
I have major issues with stress. Its pretty much been a problem my entire life. As a child, I would stress about coloring in the lines, stress about building the perfect house with blocks, stress about getting Barbie's hair just right, stress about being perfect and not upsetting anyone. Not really sure where this all… Continue reading Less Stress = Healthier Me
