Posted by Amanda on Jun 9, 2011
The Dexter-Ann Arbor Run was my second half-marathon. My first half-marathon (which was also my first official race) was the Capital City River Run in Lansing, MI on September 26, 2010. For my first half I did a lot better than I expected and finished with a time of 2:08:51.

Posted by Amanda on May 16, 2011
When you’re trying to lose weight the sugar in fruit can thwart your plans. It might be NATURAL, but it still contains sugar and calories so that doesn’t mean it can be considered a free-for-all.

Posted by Amanda on May 15, 2011

My Insanity Asylum Adventure Begins
Posted by Amanda on Apr 20, 2011

It all looks innocent enough…but...

Posted by Amanda on Apr 14, 2011
Did you know that the majority (70%) of your immune system is located in your digestive tract? When you take care of your digestive tract your body will thrive to its full potential. Sometimes we get stuck in a food rut and eat the same things…day after day. Just like doing the same exercise routine over and over again, eating the same...
