I don’t know about you, but I’m very goal oriented when it comes to fitness. If I know I have a race in 3 months my workouts are strategically planned to work towards that goal. In fact, a few years ago I gave myself 6 months to train for my first triathlon and it changed my life! Before that, I was a bartender living a late-night unhealthy lifestyle. And now, my life today could NOT be any more different! (Except I still make a mean Mojito! )
So, if you’d like to set a goal for a run, here’s an option for a beginner run in San Francisco called the Presidio 10 in San Francisco on April 18th. Participants can run either a 10K or 10 mile. The course starts at Crissy Field and takes you across the Golden Gate bridge and back… should be beautiful!

Unfortunately, when it come to getting rid of few pounds exercise alone won’t do it. Here’s just a few tips on what to avoid or reduce in your diet:
1. Most processed and packaged foods that have refined sugar and refined flour and even “processed whole wheat.”
- Breads, bagels, etc. (white AND wheat)
- cakes
- cookies
- donuts
- pasta (even whole wheat – it’s still refined flour)
- pastries
- pretzels
- most crackers
- quick oats or packaged oatmeal
- pies
2. Foods high in sugar:
- BBQ Sauce
- Candy
- Cocktail Sauce
- Condiments
- Ice Cream
- Jams & Jellies
- Power bars and most energy bars
3. Beverages high in sugar
- Colas & sodas
- Fruit juices
- Liqueurs
- Sports drinks like gatorade, vitamin water
- Overly sweetened coffee drinks – that means NO frappa-mocha-noncaf-halfcaf-accinos!
