A 2012 Kona Ironman recap post will be coming tomorrow! I did however want to share some of my healthy travel activities from the week. I have probably the most important video shoot in Los Angeles next week so while I was here, unfortunately I was not able to partake in the fruity cocktails. It [...]
I am addicted to RueLala. It’s bad. Although I only purchase items maybe 10 times a year, I probably look at what is for sale almost every day. Today, they have a home sale and featuring some of my kitchen must have appliances. To make my protein pancake, I use my hand mixer a minimum [...]
When I used to work 9-6 at Diet.com, packing a lunch in the morning and getting to work on time was always a rushed process. Rarely did I bring enough food or adequately prepare the night before. Now that I work occasionally in a shared office space, bringing my lunch again has become a challenge. [...]
Since I am a nomad without a kitchen, most of my meals have been premade. I tried Hail Caesar Shaker from Whole Foods yesterday for lunch. This was my second shaker from the “Health Starts Here” line. At a conference this past fall, I found out that the Whole Foods diet is anti olive oil [...]
In High School, the macronutrient I always looked at on a nutrition label was fat, thanks to the low-fat diet craze. In College, it was fiber and carbs courtesy of Weight Watchers and Atkins.

Tonight’s dinner was an exciting change from the boring rut I’ve been in lately. I made Spicy Orange Chicken Skewers and my mom made a delicious cauliflower side that taste like a nutty rice pilaf without the carbs! Seriously, it was delicious and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before. For the chicken, I [...]
On the weekends, my diet seems to take a huge u-turn most of the time. All week, I’m dead set on my routine and then the weekend comes and screws it all up making it that much harder on Monday to get back into the groove of things. During the summer, it’s challenging to make [...]
This morning, I got up and had a list of errands to complete before my 5K. First up, City Hall Plaza for a moving permit. I decided to walk the mile since I’d be only running about 23 minutes later in the afternoon. I stopped by Whole Foods to pick up a few items to [...]

Last night, I brought back my signature go to dinner during the summer. We are lucky to have an outdoor patio where we live and so I feel obligated to take advantage of our grill. On the menu was grilled zucchini and summer, 1/2 an ear of corn, and 4 oz of grilled chicken. Yes, [...]
