[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This weekend’s festivities and bone-chilling temperatures were exactly what I needed to kick my holiday spirit into high gear. From a cheesy date movie and staying up way past my bedtime to wrap presents, to the annual Jingle Bell 5k and a pre-Christmas…

Today: A tasty holiday pie… chart.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]In a perfect world, I’d spend the month of December ice skating from one holiday party to the next, leaving a wake of biodegradable glitter behind me. This year, however, it seems like I barely have enough time to lace up my skates. …

Today: Start small, start now.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]The always inspiring Kelly Olexa recently encouraged me and my fellow FitFluential Ambassadors to share our favorite fitness tips for people just starting out, or getting back in the game.

Today: A few of my (current) favorite things.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (ew, I hate cats). Let’s just cut to “a few of my favorite things.” Basil grown from seed I started growing these little guys from a seed kit early this summer. While the basil isn’t quite…

Today: Follow the signs.
As I’ve mentioned once before, marathons aren’t easy. That’s sort of the point. This past weekend’s ING NYC Marathon nearly broke my foot (or maybe it did? I haven’t made it under an X-ray device quite yet.), but New York City stole my heart. It’s…

Today: The waiting game.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am pretty sure I have packed any and everything I could possibly need for this weekend. And then some. I’ve looked at the course map more times than I can count, and Googled “how to get to the Staten Island ferry” more…
