I'm a happy and healthy 29-year old who values her relationships with friends and family. I ADORE dogs and am counting down the days until Dan and I get one. I'm pretty obsessed with nutrition (I'll talk your ear off any day about the wonders of juicing) and am also determined to get into the shape of my life. My new love? Running!

The Fitness Zone
By Jodi Rigotti

Workout enthusiast Jodi Rigotti discusses the latest exercise trends and reveals her secrets for success at the gym.

Back in the game
I wasn't feeling myself there for awhile. I was eating more and working out less. For someone who likes exercise and loves nutrition, I hated that I wasn't practicing what I preached. So for starters, I dug out my old Weight Watchers material (I've done W
Just thinking
I hate hate hate when bad things happen to good people. I really try to see the good in this world, and I usually do, but when I hear about a human being inflicting a senseless crime on another, it temporarily crushes my whole belief in humanity. I will n
I'm hurting today
I'm hurting today. But in a very good way. Last night, my husband and I worked out together at the gym. Sometimes we get in the habit of doing this, and it can be really motivational. For example, we take turns lifting weights (sure my sets are much light

Exercise Hiatus
I'm pretty frustrated because I seem to have fallen off the fitness wagon. For a while there, things were going really strong. Dan and I were running outside a lot, and although my improvement was slow, I WAS improving. I was so proud of myself to have go
2008 Olympics -- Don't end yet!
There's still quite a few days left of the Olympics, and I'm already sad for them to end! It's amazing how I've convinced myself so many times in the past that I'm too tired to go to the gym or that there's no way I can possibly go 2 more minutes on the t

Dan and I have been on this kick for awhile now that before we buy food at the supermarket, we read the label to make sure we can pronounce everything that's in that particular food. We've made some great switches after making realizations such as: Is it
Fiber and Water: Perfect Together
I'm all about fiber. From my high-fiber breakfast cereal in the morning to my constant consumption of fruits and vegetables, I'm certainly at no loss for it. And I know that fiber serves so many important purposes, from disease prevention to weight manage
On Your Mark, Get Set....
So it's offiicial. Dan and I have decided to train for a half marathon in September. A whopping 13 miles. When I think about it, I get excited and nervous all at the same time. There's no way I'd be able to run 13 miles right now, but when I started runni
