Unintentional Hiatus

Well hello there!

I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me, and some of you may already know why. 

I’ve been working on a little side project for the past 3 months, and it has been taking all of my time and energy to get it growing. 

Need a hint?

Yep, that’s right.  There’s a bun in this oven! Earlier this summer, Adam and I were thrilled to find out that we are expecting our first child in April 2012.  The first trimester hasn’t been easy, and the two things I wanted to do the least? Eat/cook/prepare anything that wasn’t cereal or yogurt, and get any sort of exercise other than walking. 

I’m starting to feel better now, and am actually excited to get back into the kitchen and back outside for some exercise while the weather is still nice.  Don’t worry that this is going to turn into all baby all the time, it won’t.  I will still bring you the recipes, fitness, and health facts that you have grown to love, along with my journey through pregnancy and motherhood. 

I feel like I just made 100 new friends!

Last night, was the 2nd week in a row I participated in the  #fitblog Tweet/Chat, and it was incredible.  Self-proclaimed “Social Media Producer/Healthy Living Advocate/Cook Chick” Katy Widrick moderated the hour-long chat and provided us with thought-provoking questions like “The definition of healthy” and “The weirdest food you’ve discovered.”

I can honestly say that the bloggers and tweeters that participated in this chat are some of the most amazing people.  Every person was supportive and insightful.  There was no negativity, which was wonderful.  When asked to brag about our recent accomplishments, the congrats and encouragement were flying so fast I could barely keep up.

Even though I’ve only been a part of it for a short time, I feel honoured to be a part of the Healthy Living community, you all are amazing!!!!

P.S. I updated the Recipes page with my Oatmeal Recipe!
