Somehow this site got nominated for the Fitness Magazine Best Healthy Living Blog Award. Considering the content has become borderline pornographic (well, I guess that depends on your opinion of feet. . .) I was quite surprised! I guess that means I should probably start focussing more on things that people actually care about, such as fitness and eating.

A large part of healthy living involves maintaining your sanity. Sometimes that means eating cereal four consecutive nights rather than spending time cooking, and that’s A-OK. No one ever perished from Cheerio toxicity. My tips for retaining sanity during the pre-spring break crunch time include indulging in a hot bubble bath, maintaining normal exercise routines, and occasionally dancing your heart out to the Foo Fighters. In your underwear. Just saying.

The fast intervals made this a challenging workout, perfect for kick-starting the weekend. I’ve been trying to swim at least 6 mornings per week these days in an attempt to supercede my pre-college baseline. I took the day off from work to work on a 12 page paper due Tuesday and ended up going on a five mile run mid-day. The paper is on the medicalization of PTSD, quite an interesting topic! Once this paper is done, I will have WAY more time to blog.

Hope everyone is having a fun Friday night:) and please remember to vote! I will be eternally grateful.
