Hi there! I’m a 24-year-old female who moved to Cleveland, OH after growing up and living Rochester, New York for most of my life. Food and fitness are both a huge part of my life. I am runner, I love P90X and Insanity. Although I work at a hospital here in Cleveland, I’m not involved in anything clinical! I actually work for the 501(c)3 arm of the hospital in their Foundation in fundraising. I absolutley love my job and feel so fortunate to wake up and work with a great group of people.
My boyfriend works in Information Technology and although he has to commute a bit to his job…he gets to work at home 2 days a week (lucky duck :P). Jamie has been playing hockey since he was 3, and he spends at least a couple of days a week playing goalie for local men’s leagues around Northeast Ohio. In our free time we can usually be found checking out Cleveland, watching hockey, cooking some good eats, spending time with friends and family and working out as much as we can!
I believe that you can be a “foodie” while still being healthy. At Julia Child once said, “everything in moderation…including moderation”. Food is my way of showing the most important people in my life how much I appreciate them…and it just so happens that one of the perks of the job is getting to eat the finish product (and taste test along the way) 🙂 This blog is a chronicle of my journey in food, in fitness and in life!
What a small world, I’m originally from Rochester too 🙂
Haha it really is a small world! What part of Rochester are you from? 🙂
Good luck with your New Year’s Resolution! When I realized I ran too much and was on the verge of injuring myself, I took up yoga to cross-train as well. Now I look forward to my off days just as much as my runs!
Thanks! It’s been a bit difficult transitioning to yoga. I am learning to love it the more that I do it. It’s just hard for me to get excited about yoga still. I’m hoping I get there 🙂
It was hard for me too. It helped when I really focused on breathing and trying to feel the stretching in my muscles instead of letting my mind wander. I’m sure you’ll get there, it just takes time and patience!
We have a lot in common! I went to college in Ohio (Miami!!!), and I’m loving P90X, too! Looking forward to reading more! 🙂
I love Miami! I wan’t to go there back when I was still in undergrad…but settled on a state school in NY because it was cheaper 😛 Yay for P90x…can’t wait to hear about you experiences with it! 🙂
thanks for checking out my blog! i hope i can do it! also as i’m checking your blog, i’m getting hungrier by the second with all the delicious food! good thing it’s healthy! and random, one of my good friends is from rochester! haha.

Haha it is a small world! I actually really like Cleveland. Compared to Rochester, there is lots to do here. I’m living in right in between Coventry and Cedar/Lee so in the summer its great for walking and running.
