Supplements and Working Out
Raise your hand if you look to magazines for workout advice.
It’s my favorite cardio machine pastime.
Magazines are full of advice when it comes to fitness and health. Some of them even feature great workouts. Workouts are great but alone, they alone won’t get you to your goals. You also need to have a good, healthy diet. Some people also swear by supplements to help you jumpstart your workouts.

San Diego Fit Foodie 5K Race Recap
This is a sponsored post that contains affiliate links.
I used to run races.
I even placed in a few!
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve attempted a race. The Fit Foodie 5K/10K Race Weekend in San Diego seemed like the perfect time to change that. Leave it to me to make my first race back a food-related one!
John Hancock’s Cooking Light & Health Fit Foodie Race Weekend is more than just a race. It’s a party, a gathering for food lovers, and a place to share passion for food and fitness. Calories are both burned and earned!
The Run
The race was bright and early on a Saturday morning. There was an option for a 5K or a 10K, but I decided not to push it and did the 5K.
My baby sister joined too! I love that we get to do things like this together. We share the same passions for food and fitness. I guess that’s proof we are related… even if I spent most of her childhood telling her she was purchased from gypsies.

I digress… the race took place along the water at the Embarcadero Park. There’s nothing like a gorgeous view and a great breeze to make you want to move.
While it wasn’t a PR, I was happy with a 26:24 finish after my hiatus. I was 19th in my age group! That’s especially satisfying given that there were over 1300 runners and we spent the first mile kind of trapped behind people.
We received a medal to reward our run, then moved into the John Hancock Vitality Village (a.k.a. the most delicious finish line ever).
The Celebration
The celebratory food and drinks in the John Hancock Vitality Village was the perfect post-race experience!
There were rows filled with delicious and healthy food samples, culinary demonstrations, and mini fitness classes led by certified pros.
Another highlight of the race was seeing so many friends there. My sister and I ran into Teresa from Eat Drink & Be Skinny. Now we have plans for a friends workout!
As much as we hate to admit it, fitness without good nutrition is not nearly as impactful on your health as when you combine the two.
That’s why John Hancock has created John Hancock life insurance with Vitality, which rewards people for the healthy choices they make, like exercising, seeing the doctor, and now, purchasing healthy foods at the grocery store.
With John Hancock Vitality and the new HealthyFood program, not only can you save up to $600 a year on the nutritious foods you buy, but you can also significantly save on your life insurance premium and earn valuable rewards and everyday savings for those healthy food purchases.

Oh, and did I mention MEB was there?!
Meb and Bill posing for pics. How cool for these younger girls to get to run a race and meet their heros?

Now it’s ON… I’m already plotting my next race!

Are you a “fit foodie”?
Motivation from Team Better + WIAW
Some days I need a little extra push.
Today, especially.
I’ve been trying out a new app from Team Better that challenges and motivates me every morning with something different. They’re fairly easy, but I love that it adds something new to my routine. For instance, Monday’s challenge was to do Sun Salutations.

How to choose the right deodorant for YOU!
I can be forgetful.
Yes, it does get worse as you age.
At 33, I’ve forgotten a lot of things: my keys, where I parked, conference calls… once Vegas and I BOTH forgot to turn in a rental car. For a week.
Most recently I forgot deodorant. This is not the first time I’ve forgotten it, but it’s particularly embarrassing when you’re headed to the gym where you quite obviously need it. This is where choosing the right deodorant for you (and your degree of forgetfulness) plays a role.

Socca Waffles, Glutes, and WIAW Eats
The Olympics have taken over our TV.
Is everyone else this obsessed?
I feel like this week has been background to the Olympics. I work while watching the Olympics, I plan workouts while watching the Olympics, Vegas and I eat dinner in front of the TV… we are obsessed.
I did get away for a run though. It was a gorgeous day, despite all the hills.

Back Workout For Injured Legs + WIAW
I made it back to the gym!
Funny how that seems like more of a treat when you’re injured.
I’ve ditched the crutches and settled for a limp. Crutches suck, btw. I can deal with the arm strength aspect, but the chafing! Lawd that sucked. Anyway, I made it to the gym. I rode the stationary bike verrrrrrry gently and did some back (all seated – safety third!).
It was a struggle, but I was happy to be moving around!
…
Injured Knee Leg Workout + WIAW
Leg day is even less fun with a torn ACL.
You’d think I’d use this as an excuse to skip it.
If I weren’t scared of my leg totally atrophying I wouldn’t bother with legs. But I am. So we did it. Yes, Vegas even came to the gym with me.
I’m not “leg day.”
