It seems like winter may finally be gone here in good ol’ Utah. I say “may be gone” because it was in the 70’s last week but this week is supposed to be in the low 50’s for a few days. Not quite winter, but not summer weather either. I’m one of those people who [...]

Improving your health doesn’t have to include major changes. Here’s 10 simple, but effective things you can do to improve your health. 1. Walk while you talk.

I had a super productive night last night. I slept for about 45 minutes, studied for a final that I had tonight, got caught up on blogs, worked on my own blog, watched about 8 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy & figured out how to use my super effective, but super complicated humidifier. I guess that’s [...]

Last night was waaaaaaaaaaay to windy to run, so Geoff & I decided we would go to Ikea and get boxes to put our DVDs in. When Geoff & I were dating, we would buy the DVD of every movie we saw. Even if they were lame. Once we got married we realized just how [...]

Your core is responsible for stabilizing your entire body while [...]

Good Afternoon! Last night the weather was actually nice enough that Geoff & I were able to run outside. I was excited because I got to use my Garmin outside for the first time. I’ve had it since Christmas & haven’t gotten a chance to use outside. It seems pointless to have a Garmin & [...]

One of my New Years Resolutions was to blog more & on a regular basis. Well, here it is 1/10/11 & I haven’t blogged once this year. I’m not gonna lie though, it was so nice to have a break from just about everything. Now that school has started, I’m trying to get back into [...]
