Recipes: Super Lean Turkey Chili
I make a mean turkey chili. One of the reasons I love it is because it’s really lean when it comes to fat, but super high in fiber and protein. My version has over 40 grams of protein per serving, and almost a days worth of fiber! Also, it’s delicious, and ridiculously easy to make, [...]

I very rarely blog on the weekends, but I’m working on being a bit more accountable about my eating habits. Translation: not eating eating a bunch of crap on the weekends. This weekend went pretty smoothly on the healthy eating front. I was supposed to go home and spend Father’s Day with my folks but [...]

I have an ongoing battle every week to conquer my produce bins. Every shopping excursion consists of bags and bags of fresh fruits and vegetables that inevitably rot somewhere in the depths of my produce bins. I start out with the best of intentions.

Yay for sneakers. You know you’re an exercise freak when the idea of brand new sneakers is just about the most exciting clothing item you can think of.

Today I rediscovered the elliptical. I had sort of given up on the elliptical when I started running, because the elliptical seemed so easy in comparison. Well I ran yesterday, and missed my spin class today, but I knew I needed to get some cardio in, and the elliptical machine was just standing there shining [...]

Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you…HEY, BEANS AREN’T FRUIT. Ugh, I hate it when sophomoric rhyme schemes are factually incorrect. Beans are legumes and they are wonderful little nuggets of protein and fiber and carbohydrate. In fact, beans may just be natures most perfectest food. Not only are they [...]

Hmmm, my interview yesterday seemed like a one night stand, wham, bam, thank you ma’am. I got the impression that they already found someone they liked before meeting with me and was just going through the motions with the rest of their interviews. It happens, I just wish they had cancelled instead of wasting my [...]
