I parked the car, grabbed my gym bag and proceeded to the tag scan. I reached for a towel and did a double take. There was a stack of spin class passes for the 5:15pm class and I couldn't look away. I have been cleared to do spin classes by my doctor and up until …

Achoo
Over these last few days I have had a head cold, complete with sniffles, sneezes and lots of tissues. During the majority of the day I feel ok and I find it hard to steer clear of the gym without a legitimate flu excuse. I spent half an hour on the stationary bike one day …
Peas Please
My go to soup when I have cold is of course matzoh ball soup, but I was in the mood to create something from scratch instead of using a boxed mix. I found a new recipe that is simple but will sweep you off your feet. Add some onion, celery and green onions to a pot and …

What I Didn’t Eat Wednesday
Today is supposed to be a post about what I ate yesterday (WIAW), just as I do every Wednesday. However, yesterday I was not eating particularly unique or interesting foods. In fact, they were my typical foods, cottage cheese, banana and nut butter, luna bar...because I was more focused on my follow up doctor's appointment …
