It’s been a good 10 weeks since I’ve posted here at the Shredheads, and in that time, I’ve given birth to a beautiful baby girl.
I stopped posting here because during the last eight weeks of my pregnancy, because I went on a hiatus from eating well and working out, and it didn’t seem right...

I was reading our weekly link round-up at my other site, Cool Mom Picks, and reluctantly decided to click on a story rating the 25 worst kids meals at national restaurant chains.
And I have to admit, I’m not that surprised.
While we don’t eat out a lot, we’re not huge fans of kids meals when...

We all know that we should be drinking water every day. The 8 x 8 rule is something that most people are familiar with – 8, 8 ounce glasses a day. But how many of us are actually doing that? Well, not me and as someone who’s pregnant, I actually need MORE water than...

When I was pregnant the first time, I was working full time. I’d always been good about bringing my lunch to work so as to a) not spend money eating out and b) not eating crap for lunch. However, there wasn’t a candy jar that was safe from my paws or a piece of...

The ridiculous amount of fatty foods we consume in this country never ceases to amaze me. Just watch an episode of “Man vs Food” and you can get a sense of what many people eat as a regular part of their diet.

Life without dairy is not that far fetched considering I’ve been lactose intolerant most of my life. In fact, I spent about eight years as a vegan mostly because I couldn’t take the intense gastro-intestinal pain I was having from eating it.
I can tolerate hard cheeses in small doses, but soft cheeses, ice cream,...

This week was better than the previous few weeks as far as exercise and diet go. However, when you only workout once, it’s hard not to improve. I mean, I could get worse but that would be beyond lame.
I did spend some time on the treadmill and really had to listen to my body. ...

As many of you know, Bill and I (along with a few other awesome Shredheads) ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida this past March.
And while I’ve been do Disney World many times, the two times I’ve been there as an adult, I’ve been really disappointed with...

I’ve never been an enforcer of the clean plate club in my home. We’ll ask them to eat as many bites as their age when they start to slow down, but my husband and I are perfectly fine with them leaving food on their plate.
The only problem is that I’m the one who eats...

It’s very easy for me to just simply cut out things for a few reasons. Most of the things I don’t need to be eating, my kids shouldn’t be eating either. So I just don’t buy them.
But also, I have a very strong willpower and the type of “all or nothing” personality.
However, I realize...
