Inspiration comes in many forms: what is inspiring to one person (their kids or significant other) can be completely different from someone else (their career or even their pet), and so on.

Rocket Salad with Balsamic & Agave Tofu (or Chicken)
If you’re looking to find a great dinner salad or just a new recipe to try, this is the one! I start out with a bed of rocket (arugula) and top it with a combination of vegetables, avocado and nuts. You don’t have to follow my toppings exactly, just use your favorite ingredients and every [...]
Thailand / Spring Cleaning Detox
Three words: food, beer and food. Or maybe that’s two. Anyway, after a vacation in Thailand with two of my favorite people (Jodi and Mike), I decided that my body needed a rest. I have done cleanses in the past, but this time I actually really enjoyed it. And Jodi joined me, so we cooked [...]
The 20-Minute, Glute-Sculpting Treadmill Routine
I found this fantastic, butt-burner on fitnessmagazine.com and have since shared with two friends, who agree it’s a calorie-burning success. In just 20 minutes, you can burn 150 calories while WALKING (crazy, right?). I usually don’t opt for workouts that have walking, but for someone who isn’t a runner, I thought I would try it [...]
Warm Chicken Salad with Dijon Dressing
If you don’t have a go-to dinner salad, I highly suggest you bring this one into your rotation – it’s such a hit! My friend introduced me to this about three months ago, and it’s now known as “our salad†because it’s just so dang delish! If you are cooking dinner for your significant other [...]

Healthy Chocolate Pudding
Not only is this pudding healthy and delicious, it takes less than 10 minutes to make! I know the main ingredient sounds a bit odd, but after reading reviews on different blogs of children who love this recipe, I knew I had to give it a go. Ingredients 1 medium-sized, ripe avocado (pitted and peeled) [...]
Travel Fitness: Hong Kong & Malaysia
The two most difficult times to stay in shape (for me) are traveling and holidays. Do you agree? I just got back from a two-week trip to Hong Kong and Malaysia and man, it’s really hard to maintain a routine while exploring new horizons! Many hotels have an in-house gym, but when you’re in another [...]
2010 = New Fitness Goals!
It’s a new year, friends. Happy days at the gym begin right about now…when everyone joins and vows they’re going to starting working out and staying in shape. We have all been in this predicament with one excuse or another, and it’s important to have goals in the fitness world. However, staying healthy should be [...]
I Moved to Sunny San Diego!
Would anyone in NYC be offended if I tell you that I’m cold? In a city that usually holds temperatures in the 70s year-round, I’m feeling just a bit cold in the 50- and 60-degree lows we are seeing in SSD (Sunny San Diego). After five and a half years of living and loving NYC, [...]
