I learned the word ’serendipity’ in grade school – and never really got to use it in a sentence after that. Well today is finally the day! It was serendipitous that I came across this Gluten Free gem of a dessert & I think you’ll agree once you try it – lucky lucky you when [...]

RK Tip of the Week|Forward motion…as long as there is forward motion
Ever watch a baby learning to walk? They are totally unsure of what they are doing, but there is this innate knowledge that at some point they should start standing with their legs under them and then start moving those legs just like the big people in their life do.
You don’t ever see a baby sit [...]

PMA: Oh the things humans say…in line at Chipotle
Another busy day doing fitness-y stuff but thought this was worthy of a little time to post before tomorrow’s last Real Knowledge Tip of the Week for 2009.
I eat at Chipotle. While I would not advocate eating their often if you’re trying to lose weight, it is one of the only “fast-food” restaurants, that if [...]

Gluten Free Showcase: An energy bar you can really get behind
I was sent this recipe by a high school friend who, through the magic of Facebook, I was able to reconnect with a while back. At our high school reunion, I learned she’d gone vegan around the same time I discovered Gluten Free living & boy did we have plenty to talk about!
Stop rolling your [...]

Share the health this holiday!
Many gifts are about to be exchanged & hopefully they come with batteries so fun can ensue on Christmas morning! Remember though that the best gift to give anyone (here comes the corny holiday message!) is that of optimal personal health.
Giving your time to your family? You will give them so much more if you are [...]

RK Tip of the Week|What’s that you SAID? Specifically Adapting to Imposed Demands
The body is an amazing work of science & art – and it responds to any
imposed demand placed on it. Evolution has granted us the ability to choose how we adapt our body to life & all that it brings with it. Mother of cranky 3 year old no longer hears child screaming & can carry on conversation over the din. She’s adapted [...]

Making holiday appetizers, treats, & cocktails work for you
As the holiday season crescendos & sputters out in the next two weeks, you’ve either been stuffing your face with cookies, cakes & eggnog – not caring what happens to your waistline, your health, or your blood sugar - or you’ve been scrambling to figure out how many workouts you need to do to hang in [...]

Giving the power of knowledge|Last minute gift ideas
Books. The gift of one is often relegated to tween Harry Potter fans & Baby’s First Reader books – why do we forget about sharing the tomes of words that have the power to actually change our lives? Well, probably, because we never were introduced to ‘that one book’ that changed our lives or ‘that [...]

RK Tip of the Week|Eat well, live long – An interview with The Doctor
Two of the easiest (and cheapest!) things you can do to manage your health are -exercise & -eat well. Of late, there has been a massive over-saturation of food-products that claim to help “lower this!” or ”increase your fiber intake that!” (very few of which actually are what they claim). This over-saturation does make it more challenging to know what is truly [...]

PMA: The little things in life
More posts coming tonight & tomorrow, but had to get this pressed & up quickly as I’m super slammed with holiday fitness-y stuff….
…Anyways – you know how you can be going along in your day & totally absorbed by, well, your day & what it’s bringing your way? Basically that you’ve been running at 700 [...]
