Don’t you just love those mornings when you wake up feeling refreshed and strong and overall pretty badass? I totally had one of those mornings today. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve finally totally kicked that cold, or maybe the company of so many awesome friends all weekend, but when I hopped out of [...]

Don’t you just love a hot baked sweet potato fresh out of the oven on a freezing cold winter afternoon? I prefer it just as it is, no toppings, nothing but sweet delicious potato goodness. Many people have asked how they can contribute to my Century ride. I’m going to make a permanent link here [...]

Tonight I went to a house music dance party – also known as spin class at Crunch. Seriously. It has the 4/4 music, the light show, the shouting/rhyming emcee and the entire time you’re pedaling in near complete darkness. I seriously expected a candy raver to pop out from behind one of the bikes and [...]

Glasses shopping in the east villiage was a success! I am now the proud owner of a very hip brand new pair of custom glasses! All I need now is lenses, which are coming soon along with pictures – I promise. It was a very long day at work today, which is still not completely [...]

Super stressful day at work + 90 minutes of Bikram style hot yoga = one very wiped out Jill. When I got home I threw together a really quick veggie/tofu stir fry. It was so tasty – I just wish I could capture that crisp freshness of the cauliflower when I reheat it. I may [...]

This is so gonna be me in 4 months! I just got in from a pretty hardcore (for me) hour long spin class. I can officially say that my training for my century ride in May has begun! I was a little worried about how I’d fare tonight as I’ve been pretty sick with a [...]

I have to admit that yesterday’s hot yoga did make me feel better, at least for a while. I mean who wouldn’t after an hour and a half in a 115 degree room doing assorted forward and backward bends while dripping with sweat? Gotta love it. I came home and drank what probably amounted to [...]

I started my morning pretty early with a small bowl of overnight oats.  I can never sleep in when I’m sick so I decided to make the best of it with a healthy breakfast. This morning I concocted a pretty tasty combination: 1/4 cup steel cut overnight oats (I still have some left over from [...]

I have officially entered my very first Century Ride!!! For those of you unfamiliar with the lingo this means that in May of this year I will be participating in my very first 100 mile bike ride! If you can believe it – that’s not even the coolest part, seriously. First of all, I won’t [...]

I’ve been ignoring a scratchy throat and some congestion for about 3 days now thinking that with enough yoga and positive thinking I could keep a cold at bay with sheer will. Apparently this is not the case. I woke up this morning around 5am with one of those holy cow my throat is raw [...]
