5 Tips to Get an Organic Energy Boost
There are many different names for the 3pm lull. I call it hitting a wall. Especially now that I have more of an office job I find myself not being able to concentrate and without energy right around 3pm on a daily basis (except weekends). Sure somedays my nutrition could be better but for the most part I am an exceptional eater. Here are some tips that work for me when I drive directly into...

5 Foods That Fuel Your Workout
Quinoa. It’s a supergrain and a complete protein. Packed with fiber, iron, and calcium, necessary for proper muscle contraction and even potassium and magnesium for hydration, quinoa is a high-quality complex carbohydrate (yes, the good kind of carb) that you want on your plate. Even at breakfast.
Kale. Too bad Popeye didn’t know about this dark leafy supergreen. Kale is now...

5 Tips for Living a Healthy Lifestyle
Out for my morning run by the river.
1.Eat a balanced diet A balanced diet does not have to be a boring diet. As long as you are getting adequate proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fats, that slice of chocolate cake you’re craving shouldn’t do you too much harm. Enjoy your meals, chew your food properly and eat a variety of foods, including five portions of fruit or...

Winter Coast to Coast
When you think of winter, where would you rather be? In chilly New York City, or warm, sunny Southern California? Before you answer, consider a few things: Fashion-wise, you’ve got much more freedom to show off your body in SoCal, where temps can easily float above seventy degrees even into the evening hours. That’s right, shorts, tanks, and skirts are staples here, as are the good ‘ol flip...

Treadmill or Outside
I think it is understood by now that I am originally an East Coaster. I should be able to handle the least bit of chilliness. That said, let me explain my cardio strategy for this week.
This week since it has been so absolutely beautiful here in San Diego I made a pledge to myself that I was going to run outside, in the morning no matter what. I want to get my cardio out of the way because I...

My Newest Volunteer Gig!
Every Tuesday and Wednesday I go to Petsmart in Point Loma for a few hours and let the cats out to stretch their legs and play while I clean their bathrooms and refresh their food and water. I thought that this would be a simple gig. I knew that I would feel good about helping out these helpless creatures who have been abandoned or worse. The first week that I went I think that they were all...

Thank You Jorge!
I started watching baseball while I was living in NYC. It was not my choice to start watching but if I wanted to spend time with my friend Sandra I had to not only watch but watch quietly and learn. It is now 15 years later and I am a big fan. Most people automatically pin me as a Jeter lover. That has never been the case. (However I did fall off my chair once when he walked into a...

Here We Go!
It was a rainy day here in San Diego. We do not get a lot of them but when we do there are a few things that are guaranteed. Traffic is going to be ridiculous! There will be at least 2 accidents during any 20 minute commute. Unlike NYC no one is ever prepared. I remember the days of knowing that with out an umbrella that I would be wounded by even a quick pop in to the bodega DOWNSTAIRS. ...
