During this past summer (and even fall), I did more of my running indoors on the treadmill vs. outside because it was sooo hot here in Houston. I haven’t always been a fan of the “dreadmill” and have even struggled with it from time to time. But, once you overcome your fears, get some confidence […]
I recently got back from another amazing vacation with Carnival Cruises. This time my family and I went on the Carnival Breeze.

Sometimes working out indoors gets boring – especially when it’s a nice day outside and you feel the need for some fresh air. Houston has a ton of parks and green space that are the perfect place to fit in an outdoor workout. As a former (and hopefully returning) marathoner – I’ve run in and […]

Working out over the holidays will not only keep you looking your best, but it will relieve stress, counteract extra holiday treats and […]
I recently got back from a Carnival cruise with my family and we had a great time. Last time I went, I blogged about how you can stay fit on a cruise – since they have so many options. But, this time around – I wanted to focus a little more on the food. Even […]
Now that my daughter is one – she’s kind of in between ages for “baby workouts” or mommy and me classes where you bring your baby. Most of those are designed for babies that will be super still or sleep in their strollers. But, she’s also too young for “toddler yoga” and some classes where […]
Hurricane Harvey has really torn up my city (Houston) over the last few days and rain continues to pour this morning. It’s so sad. I’ve been very fortunate and did not get water in my home, although my street did flood and many neighbors homes were flooded. It’s heartbreaking to see and hear about all […]
