I'm Lauren and this is a blog dedicated to living life with a healthy balance. I love to run, strength train, bike and just be downright active. I'm a marathoner as of April 24, 2010 and am currently looking forward to qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
I absolutely love to eat and enjoy great food but doing it all in moderation. You'll see healthy, organic foods on here frequently but you'll also run into things such as pizza and sweets. I believe you can have it all... just not all at once.
I'm always learning and discovering new foods, recipes, workouts and ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Join me on my journey towards becoming my healthiest self.

I hit the arms, shoulders and abs hard last night after I blogged. It felt awesome. I do love me some strength training! I’m hoping to get some good leg and ab strength training in tomorrow night. But what I was most excited about that I was in bed at 9:30 and asleep at 10!! [...]

I feel like there are still moments in my life where I feel like a person diagnosed with A.D.D. but for the most [...]
