Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)
I know that when I first started to run, I overate for the amount of calories I was actually burning -- not intentionally, but it's easy to do. Eventually I figured out how to train and not gain weight (for the most part). I've noticed, though, that I can no longer eat as much running … Continue reading Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)
Are you a Sugar Burner?
Or a Fat Burner? Does it even matter? That's the $64 million question, isn't it? Fairytales and Fitness Sugar burners rely on sugar for that quick energy burst: think refined carbs, gels, beans, chews. Sugar burners tend to have a quick burst of energy and then a crash (hello, mile 10 slump in a half!). … Continue reading Are you a Sugar Burner?
5 Ways to Rethink Fuel
I am the person who gained weight training for my first half marathon, which is ironic, considering that part of why I started to run was that I though it would be helpful with those last few pounds -- only to have it pile on even more pounds -- in the beginning.

What is the right diet for YOU?
5 Ways to recognize the right diet I can be a rebel sometimes. The suggested subject for the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy today is your gym/workout space.

5 Recipes from Ambitious Kitchen . . .
. . . You Need to Try Before joining the Summer Sweat Series (it's over now, but I highly recommend it and am so glad I tried it), Ambitious Kitchen was not even on my radar.

5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
. . . When the Going Gets Tough I shared my admiration for runners who are able to quit on their planned training runs. Sounds weird, huh? But sometimes you really should, and I have real trouble with that. But sometimes you need to push through the bad runs, too. I'm pretty sure I've shared … Continue reading 5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
You are not a number
I figure y'all need a break from all things doggie. I started writing this post before Bandit entered our lives, and I think it's a very important post: it is easy to define ourselves by numbers, but we are so much more than any number associated with us.
