Adventures in Clean Eating
I talk a lot about treating yourself and making sure that you aren't being too hard on yourself, especially in terms of healthy lifestyles. I will gladly have an ice cream now and then or indulge in french fries when I want to. While I still plan on keeping an open mind about food, I …
My Thoughts on Body Shaming
Today I wanted to talk about something that I have been thinking about for a while: body shaming. I've mentioned this a little bit in other posts, but I do think it's an important issue that deserves its own post. While we as a society do need to work on being kinder to each other …

Running Update #8
Remember that whole overindulging thing I was talking about in my last post?
