Healthy party food

I've been to a lot of BBQs this summer and have had my fill of BBQ food.  Unfortunately BBQs can be very unhealthy: Chips, salsa, guacamole, multiple potluck desert options.  It's very easy to over eat. So, I'm always searching for ways to put out some healthy foods for my next BBQ.   I'll include lots of fresh fruit and veggies and try to have more salad than bread around.  There's also some great new options for alcoholic drinks to serve such as the Skinny Girl line.  I also found some great appetizers in Health Magazine that can be a great new addition : Party Appetizers.  Maybe you can whip up something good for everyone at your next get together. 

Have a great week and hope to workout with you soon!

Running on Vacation



One of my favorite ways to tour a new vacation spot is to run.  This pic is the view from my first run on my first day.  It was a beautiful little 35 minute jog with just me, the view and a handful of other runners in the humid heat of the island.  I love that this was just the start of my week and I was happy to have worked out 5 out of 7 of the days away from home.  So when you head out on vacation, make sure to pack your running/walking shoes and get out there and enjoy the view.  To get you inspired, here's a link to some great beaches for running on vacation.  Self Mag Best Vacation Spots for a Beach Run

Have a great week and hope to see you for a workout soon!
