I wanted to dedicate this short post to highlight the Almond Breeze Taste and Make a Difference Program! As a Foodbuzz tastemaker I was chosen to feature a widget (on the right hand side) where you, my readers, have the option to make a difference by telling Almond Breeze how to divide $25K between five charitable organizations!  Yes, that’s $25,000 DOLLARS!

As many of you know I recently completed my first century bike ride to benefit to LIVESTRONG which was an absolutely amazing experience.  Because I have a strong passion for this great organization, I wanted to represent this charity in the challenge.  I know Lance isn’t doing too hot in the Tour de France at the moment, and probably won’t win the Tour this year, but let’s send him off with a great donation for a great cause to help in the fight against cancer.  Who’s with me???

All you have to do to help support LIVESTRONG is just one click on the right!

Man it is tough coming back after having such a nice vacay!  CSN Stores contacted me recently and asked if I would like to do a review of one of their products, which may just make the transition to reality a little easier 🙂  I’m not sure what it will be yet, maybe it will be a sectional sofa?!  Well, not sure about that, but we sure need a new sofa.  Ours is ancient and we have to reinforce it underneath with a broken down cardboard box.  No joke.  It’s like once you sit in it, you can’t get up because you sink so far into it. literally.  Look out for a review soon, hopefully it will be something fun!   (more…)

As you know, Chris and I embarked on the challenge to eat in for the entire month of January and I honestly can’t believe it’s over!  It was hosted by the lovely Diana, who always has some great challenge ideas (I think she’s brewing up a new fitness related challenge).  Now it is the moment of truth, and I’d like to share with you my thoughts and reflections over the month.  And yes, there were a few, just a few ‘cheats’ in there too!

The main reason I wanted to share this with you is (more…)

The other day I finally made the purchase of some gadgets to help assist me with my training to hopefully increase my running and cycling potential.  Nothing like that instant performance feedback!  I’ve seen that many of you cannot live without your Garmins and I couldn’t help when I saw that Amazon had the Garmin 305 on sale for 48% off!  I’m a sucker for a sale, well I really don’t buy most things unless they are on sale, and I’ve been searching different brands/models for awhile now. . .
