K, first off I must say that while I was doing the whole “3 months without treats” thingy, many people asked me what I was going to do when it was all over. Was I going to… Continue on not eating treats? Enjoy one small treat? Chow down?? Start a different goal? I deliberated over this question many, many, many times! It kind of stressed me out because I really didn’t know what I was going to do. I really, really love sugar…a little too much. It makes me happy and is so so yummy, BUT it also takes over Continue Reading…
A Fun 4th of July 10K
Happy 4th of July to you all! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday. I started this morning off with a fun local 10K (6.2 mile) race with Kev, my sister Holly and a bunch of our friends. I really love running races on the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. They are my favs. However, I was a little worried about this race. First off, our June was super duper crazy, so I really haven’t been running much. I think I ran 2-3 times in the past 3 weeks! AND, I ran 4 1/2 miles this past Monday and Continue Reading…
Chocolate Protein Pancakes
K, these pancakes are the bomb! I love them so much. I’ve been having them for breakfast 4-5 days a week for the past month. I’m not sick of them yet and I don’t think I’ll ever be! There are a million Protein Pancake recipes out there. I’ve tried several and loved them all. Soooo, several months ago I decided to look for a Chocolate Protein Pancake recipe. After searching a while, I was sad I couldn’t find any that were very “chocolately!” Most of the recipes out there just use chocolate protein powder and call it good. Well…..that’s not Continue Reading…
3 Months With (Almost) No Treats!
Well, my little 12 week healthy challenge ended yesterday!!! Woo hoo. It was seriously SO SO good for me! I must say at times it was crazy hard, but for the most part it wasn’t too bad. Just to recap….I participated in a fun 12 week health challenge. I paid $20 to join and then chose a personal goal to work on the entire time. Now that the challenge is over, the $$ will be divided among those who reached their goals. There were about 150 people involved in this challenge, so I’m curious how it will play out. I’ll Continue Reading…
I’m Officially Online Again!
Holy Cow…. IT IS ABOUT TIME!! I am officially online again. Hallelujah! First off, I must say I have missed you all!! Over the past 2 months, I’ve discovered so many fun recipes, enjoyed plenty of killer workouts and had a million deep “healthy” thoughts to share….but I’ve had no one to share them with! 🙁 🙁 🙁 Except Kev, of course. And, I think he’s ready for me to have another place to express my healthy thoughts, ya know? So with that being said, I’m so happy to launch my new website. It is officially up. www.happybeinghealthy.com Yay! ************************* Continue Reading…

On the way home from the gym yesterday I stopped at my favorite store in the world….Nordstrom Rack! Over the years I have found so many awesome, high quality, CHEAP things there that I love! Woo hoo.

Kev and I have bought several pairs there. They always have a great selection of high quality running shoes and have GREAT deals! So, Continue Reading…
