I know this post doesn't have much to do with fitness or nutrition...But I have realized one thing about both of these topics. Our society always seems to try to motivate people to 'eating right' and 'get fit' in order to look better. I admit, I do feel better about how I look when I eat right and exercise, but when it really comes down to it, those two things have nothing to do with being beautiful!

I'm starting a new addition to my site called The Daily Dish! The Daily Dish will consist of photos and recipes of foods that I ate that day. I will be doing this about once a week to give people a general idea of what I eat on a typical day for meals, snacks, and dessert in order to provide inspiration for 'real life' healthy eating! I also hope to show that it can be easy, fun, and delicious to eat healthy on a daily basis! You will see that "eating healthy" doesn't have to mean eating...
I read this post today on a fitness/health site (www.thatsfit.com) and I thought WOW...I wish more women knew/understood this truth about having six pack abs!

I am finally back from my cruise and it was AMAZING!!! It was my first cruise and it turned out to be one of the best vacations of my life!! If you haven’t been on one, you have to!! Our first port was at Ocho Rios, Jamaica where we climbed a huge waterfall (scary, but exhilarating!) The second port was the Cayman Islands, where we went scuba diving and shopping!Although both places we ported were beautiful, I have to say some of the best memories were made while we...
Losing or maintaining weight is actually a simple mathematical equation that is often made more complicated than it needs to be. The bottom line is your weight is determined by how many calories you take in versus how many calories you put out.
Having 5-6 smaller meals per day helps to balance out your blood sugar and exercising on a regular basis (which should include strength training to maintain and develop lean muscle mass) also helps boost your metabolism.
The key is to find the proper...
