Yesterday was my first full hour at the gym. I biked for 45 minutes and then finished the hour with some planks, push ups and clam exercises. While I might have been nice and sweaty on the bike, the entire time I was staring at the treadmills trying not to hop on one and join …

Happy New Year!
Yes, it is the start of the Jewish new year and it couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I am back on my feet and getting stronger every day and I know that this year will start off a million times better than last year ended. My very first meal of the new …
25 and a day
In these past two months I have encountered more difficult times than I could ever imagine, but yesterday I turned 25 and I could feel I am headed on a fresh positive path. To start off, my mom is in town, and it is rare that we get to celebrate a birthday together. So having …

Last night we braved crossing the threshold of a new local eatery and were sorely disappointed. We took some friends and were lured by the promise of yummy mexican, space to …
Dining with the stars
Youtube stars that is! Before I could eat dinner with internet celebrities I first went for an 8 mile run. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to run those stairs I mentioned the other day at the 6.5 mile mark in my run. It was great for my endurance training …
