Sorry for my absence! Finals have been finished, snow has finally fallen to the ground and Christmas music is playing everywhere I go. It is a busy holiday season, but also a season I love. I have some exciting news! For my birthday a dear friend of mine offered to design a new blog for me. And she pretty much did an awesome job. So this will be my last post on this blog, but please head over to

Dear Class, Having you just one day this week was the best! 2 more weeks, finals, and we are done! Dear Turkey Run, 6 years and counting, and I always love it as a way to start my Thanksgiving morning. Dear Basketball Season, The time has arrived! And I couldn't be more excited. Let's get it, cavemen. Dear Family, Just a reminder that I'm grateful for each and every one of you. Thanks for being

As unfortunate as it is, the holidays often result in some stressful times. Whether it be planning bit parties, dealing with crazy schedules or hanging out with your great aunt from Kansas that loves to pinch your cheeks. So here are some acupressure points you can use to reduce stress. The great part? You can do these to yourself at any time and any place! So try them out! How to: Firm

Dear Daniel, You made it to 18! Congratulations. I love you more than I love broccoli and eggs...and that's saying something! Thanks for being the perfect example of having a heart of gold and a sense of humor that always keeps me laughing. Never change ;) Dear Wellness Center, Thanks for the opportunity to work there next semester. I'm excited to learn and help people get their health back each

Here is a new workout for you to try! I did it on the treadmill, but you could also do it at a track or just outside in your neighborhood. Start with a 10 minute warm up - for me I went on on easy jog, but walking might be good too. Now you'll be doing 3 minute sets that go like this: 1 minute - brisk walk 1 minute - jog/run 1 minute - sprint Repeat it 6-7 times, then end with a cool

Holiday season has arrived! And although some may think that means cookies, holiday parties, hot chocolate and staying indoors, it also means there are some great fall superfoods you can add to your diet. Healthy eating during these holiday months can be tough, but also very worth it. So while you are trying to avoid the leftover Halloween candy calling your name from the pantry or the

Really, this title could be "Strength to do Anything" because I'm about to give you some exercises to strengthen the muscles of your legs - feet, hamstrings, hips, etc - that will help prepare your body to exercise with more intensity and not get injured.

Here's a little Monday Motivation for you...sorry it's a little late! Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for

Dear Thanksgiving Break, I think I'm ready for you now. Only 4 weeks, right? 4 weeks. Dear Halloween House, I couldn't believe the number of pumpkins in front of your house. Or the giant spider and ghosts. Or the purpleness of your house. But happy Halloween! Dear First Snow, You bring cold fingers, big coats, and fresh homemade cinnamon rolls. You are welcome this time, but please don't stay a

By the end of this week, the high temp is going to be in the low 40s. You know what that means? We need some I'm-really-cold-and-need-something-to-warm-me-up meals. And it's a bonus when the meal makes itself in the crock-pot...right? Try this one out! *original recipe found here **another bonus...this could be used for a Meatless Monday meal!

Dear Tommy (the truck), You've made it through 4 kids in high school, a couple different colleges and lots of dance parties. I'm sad to see you dying, but you've had a good life. Dear Spinach Manicotti, You look yummy. And pretty simple. Sounds good to me! Dear Utah Jazz, It's game time! Can't wait to you ball so hard.

Dear Birthday Apple, This is what happens when you have lots of food allergies. And you know what? I don't mind one bit. Hand over the apples! Dear Halloween, I don't like you. One bit, really. But I'm glad my mom decorates in the cute Halloween way, and not that creepy way. Dear Fall Break, There is nothing like waking up early to get a run in and then being able to take a long shower and put on

I like a lot of things. I like school and eating broccoli and running and the mountains. I like laughing and eating crisp apples and drinking lots of water. But what I like even more than those things? Seeing a family make a healthy change...a change that not only helps their health but also helps those in need. Check out this Utah family that decided to take the money they were using to eat

Yes. I realize that title was a stretch. But just work with me here. Since fall is in full swing (at least with this 65 degree weather it feels like it is!)

Happy October, everyone! Here's a list of ways to make October Outstanding! 1. Go to an apple orchard and pick some juicy ones! 2. Sign up for a Thanksgiving 5k...they are everywhere and it's even better when they go for a good cause. (so start training!) 3. Make a hearty vegetable soup - it's warm and comforting and full of veggies! 4. Lend some service in your community 5. Try a new type of

Dear School, I think professors find it funny to schedule tests and papers all due at once. At least I enjoy my classes. And it sure is a bonus when when your class gets apples instead of candy! Dear Morning Runs, I now run in running capris and long sleeve shirts. It seems summer slipped by so fast! But I'm not complaining...until there is snow on the ground. Dear Apples, You are so fresh and

However sometimes these fall months can come to be a bit more indulgent as the holidays sneak up on us. So let's start the holiday season right with OCTOBER UNPROCESSED 2012   Started by Eating Rules in 2009, he set out to go a month without eating processed foods. From there,

This week welcomed a new round of the Biggest Loser at the chapter of Visa that I work at. I help run the program by weighing in employees, checking blood pressure, measuring body fat and offering encouragement. It's a job I love because of the changes I see in people and the interaction I get each week with people that are (initially) excited about getting healthy. What the first couple
