YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HEALTH NUT WHEN....
I found this on one of my favorite blogs, fitsugar, and had to share-ENJOY and comment/like if you totally get it!
Of course, you've heard of seitan, tempeh, and tofu — who hasn't?

You eat kale for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
This is how you feel when you walk into a health food store.

You think eating enriched flour should be a punishable crime.
You feel sad for unhealthy eaters.

Keep reading for more reasons you're a health nut.Eat fast food? You'd rather stick your hand in your NutriBullet.
Your fridge is 90 percent produce.
Grocery shopping can be truly traumatic and take well over an hour since you read every. Single. Label.
At dinner parties, you show up with gluten-free crackers, kale chips, and homemade hummus.
There's nothing you won't put in a smoothie.
You've tried going vegetarian, vegan, raw, gluten-free, and macrobiotic at least once, and this is your signature phrase.
You use the words "organic" and "food" interchangeably.
When you're stressed, you emotionally eat broccoli.

I'M BACK!!
I apologize for neglecting my blog!!
The past month and a half I would say has been been really busy and action packed. I moved into a new apartment, so between dealing with that and the holidays, its been a little crazy around here. Also my browser was giving me a hard time, but i fixed it!!
So to share some stellar news...I have made some big decisions for the up coming year. After watching the ING marathon in November I felt so inspired and like i was missing out. As a result, I joined New York Road Runners and plan to do the 9+1 program in 2014 to receive a guaranteed entry for 2015! I applied for the lottery to get in, but i wont know about that until March!
In the mean time, and most importantly i think, I am signing up for the HALF IRON MAN in Boulder Colorado!!!! Its on June 15th, 2014 and its my very first triathlon. The tri consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run! For the exception of the swim, i have done the events individually. The trick is figuring out a training a plan that helps me combine them all together. Its a massive undertaking, but its something to look forward to and something to really work for. Not to mention how much stronger I am going to get and a chance to go to BOULDER! I found out about this whole thing from one of my favorite soul cycle instructors, Emily Turner. She has been so inspiring to me during my rooster classes! She is actually doing the tri with her brother and her father-so awesome!
A few more highlights for 2014 in addition to all of this madness...the Lululemon Seawheeze half marathon in Vancouver in August with one of my best friends Kate, More/Fitness Half Marathon, and Cycle for survival. Cycle for survival is a collaboration between Equinox and Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center to raise money to beat Cancer. I missed it last year since i didn't know about it prior to the event but this year I cant wait! I will be riding on TEAM SHIPPER!
As you can see, I am going to be really busy and probably really tired! Over the past few weeks I realized that its more important for me on a personal level to really find focus and direction. I'm a planner and like to work towards things. Having goals is so important for me and helps me keep my head up on days when i doubt myself or my potential.

For this post I leave you with wise words spoken from Nelson Mandela who died on Thursday. He was such a powerful, inspirational force in this world and he lived a remarkable life. His words left me unbelievably inspired and i hope they do the same for you.
