Pointing You in the Right Direction

Good Morning All!

My less than mobile lifestyle has led me to be even more of a blog-nerd than usual. After getting a good workout in last night by means of crutching around Target, I spend the rest of my evening watching my hometown boys beat the Atlanta Braves while reading my usual blog suspects and discovering new blogs along the way. (I figure the cat's already out of the bag when it comes to my blog addiction, why waste energy trying to tiptoe around the fact!)

This picture is solely for my own enjoyment - what's a blog post without at least one picture. (Save the dates for our wedding will be sent out shortly)

At any rate, between my blogs, my twitter and just surfin' the web... I happened upon the No Meat Athlete Blog. Long story short - it's about being an athlete while maintaining a vegetarian diet. Lots of stories, recipes and workouts are right at your fingertips by clicking the link referenced 30 words ago.

I bring this specific blog up because the most recent post by the No Meat Athlete is about making lifestyle changes by breaking one habit at a time -  perfect topic of discussion, right?! I figure why waste time re-writing what he has to say while running the risk of stealing someone's already eloquent words when I can just as easily point ya'll in the right direction. So here it is again: How I've Been Changing My Life One Habit at a Time.

Read it!!

Let me know what ya'll think too. What habit do you have a hard time breaking? What have you tried to help break it?

Stay Healthy,

A Brief Lesson in Twitter

Morning guys!

Per usual, I started my morning off with a cup of coffee and catching up on my social media buzz.

Anyone out there a fellow Twitter user? I have to admit I was very skeptical about the whole concept in the beginning, but after my sister showed me the ropes, I quickly fell in love. Not only is it a great way to spread information (i.e. like a business.... i.e. like Kinetic Nutrition.... i.e. follow me........i.e. now, please.) but it's an endless source of information and news.

So, this morning, in between gulps of hot coffee and laughing hysterically over comments about last night's Final Rose Ceremony on the Bachelor (yes, I watch the bachelor, and yes, I am mildly upset over who was chosen) I caught an interesting tweet from the Columbus Marathon crew:

Hmmm... any guesses as to what the #1 food you should eat for breakfast is?!

Well, I don't want to promote any sort of lazy behavior on the blog, so I'm going to go a head and let you do the clicking and reading... so click on this link that says "CHECK ME OUT": CHECK ME OUT! 

Just for your own personal information, if you are on twitter or you are about to create an account after reading this blog post, some other great sources to follow include:

• Columbus Marathon
• Eat This Not That
• Runner's World
• Kinetic Nutrition (this is the 3rd time the same link has been in this post, if you haven't followed me yet - here is another chance Kinetic Nutrition)
• Whole Foods
• Run Addicts

Also.... definitely check out if your favorite restaurant or store has a twitter account - a lot of times they will tweet special deals and specials... which isn't a bad way to save some money :)

Stay Healthy,

P.S. Do anything and everything within your power (and within legal limits) to spend as much time outside this week as possible:

(my apologies for abusing my screen shot shortcut on my mac... it's just too cool not to use)

P.S.S First 5 people to comment on what the best food to eat for breakfast is will get a virtual fist bump from yours truly.
