Autumn & Jerry

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 [...]

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.

In addition to saving lives and curing diseases, it could mean the end of animal testing. Rock on!

So lately I’ve enjoyed a wonderful span of days off work that have kept me so busy with having fun that I’ve neglected my blog. Sorry, blogy! December is so full of magic, that it’s hard to even blink or you might miss something…especially when there are birthdays to celebrate in addition to the holidays! [...]
