Autumn & Jerry

The Last Text My brother sent me the link to this video that shares the stories of several young people effected by texting & driving. Some are still alive, some are not. I know I am guilty of doing this sometimes, though I’ve really made an effort to stop. However, after watching this for ten [...]

Years ago I bought a SIGG water bottle at Whole Foods in Sarasota, FL – one for me and one for hubby. I recently had to upgrade mine, but hubby’s original bottle is still going strong, and I think these purchases are some of the best we’ve ever made! For someone who drinks as much [...]

I truly baffles me that we cannot band together as Americans and bring change to our scandalously broken health care system, namely from the health insurance aspect. I am covered by not one, but TWO insurance companies, and neither one will pay for my routine physician visit from last fall. Seriously? I swear the only [...]

After about 4 days of a sharp pain in my right heel, aggravated with nearly every step, I got it checked out at work last night (just one of the great perks of the ortho floor! lol) and yep…it’s plantar fasciitis. Boo. Often caused by an increase in physical activity, especially running…check. Standing and walking [...]

While mindlessly catching up on my TiVo treasures last night, I came across an episode of Oprah that featured Jamie Oliver & his new ABC show Food Revolution. His worthy project is needed more now than ever, and his message is so true: I believe that every child in America has the right to fresh, [...]

This is where I spend my afternoons on campus. Twice a week I go to the Macon State College Wellness Center between classes, and I work out as hard as I can – I burn fat, I release energy, and I cut stress. I sweat…I mean glisten. I gladly enter my hard-earned data on DailyMile [...]

Jerry & I have renewed our commitment to eating well, and are currently 4 days into being 100% vegan and cooking healthy meals at home. We’re McDougall-ing, and I think it’s safe to say we are both already feeling a spring in our step. I sleep better at night, and we’re both jazzed about getting [...]

Well, it’s nearly impossible not to make a goal or two when a new year rolls around. This year I am making no lofty long lists, nor am I being one of the people who say they don’t make resolutions. But, I am only making 3. And they are 3 good ones. 1. Be on [...]

For the past week & a half we’ve been making a very conscious effort to eat and live healthily. Call it a nod to the fast-approaching swimsuit season, a knee-jerk reaction to hubby’s upcoming birthday milestone, or whatever else you can think of, but really it’s just a desire to be healthy. We both would [...]

Give this video a watch and see how silly the whole concept really is… …and people still buy into this?! That is downright crazy – and sad, but true. ~ Currently making these!!! YUM.
