It's no secret that I have a major sweet tooth. I'm a chocoholic...like I literally feel like I have to have chocolate (in some form) at least once a day. But with Baby P growing away, I am really trying to be conscious of just how much chocolate I am consuming-- not only to make sure I have healthy weight gain in my pregnancy, but also to make sure I'm being mindful of my daily fat, sugar and caffeine intake (<--yes, there is caffeine in chocolate..small, but it adds up!)

Special K Chewy Snack Bars Review
I'm a big snacker. I blame it on Baby P, but I always seem to be hungry lately! Come 3 o'clock, my stomach growls like clock work, and I'm ready for a snack. (And yes, I keep a snack drawer at work...anyone else?!) But sometimes carrots or an apple doesn't cut it. I want something with a few carbs and sweet flavor to hit the spot...but want it to be healthy too. So when I got the opportunity to try out Kellogg's Special K Chewy Snack Bars, I was in heaven!

Happy Feet
My current shoe inventory is divided between two types of shoes: work (professional) shoes/boots, and running shoes.

Mizuno Wave Rider 18 Review
The following "Mizuno Wave Rider 18 Review" post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Mizuno. All opinions are my own. #WaveRider18 #FitFluential I love fall weather. Perfect for runs outside...not too hot/muggy, and not terribly cold (yet) either. I always look forward to weekends when I can get outside and get to sweatin'! Lately, however, I've been taking to the treadmill as the sun goes down earlier. By the time I get home from work, it's already dark...so to the basement I Read More
Weekend Randoms: Fun Run, Pancakes and Deck-orating
This morning, I hosted my first Fort 2 Base fun run (with another race ambassador). It was so nice to meet some new people, get in some miles and give away some free race entries and swag! The humidity was really ridiculous, so I’m glad we finished when we did. I also tested out the trail shoes that I received from Mizuno via Fitfluential. LOVE them! Review coming later… As for Fort2Base, if you are interested in running either the 3 or 10 nautical mile race on August 24, sign up at Read More
