In fact, sometimes the healthier version of something tastes better than the original. Take this vegan chocolate chia pudding, for instance. While regular chocolate pudding can sometimes taste …

It’s 2017, and by now I’ve seen a hundred different, “New year, new me!” and “My top Ten Resolutions for the Year!” type posts, blogs and instagram shots. Just…no. I Resolve To NOT There’s some kind of weird Kool-aid people drink at the dawn of every new year, as though the turning of a calendar …
For many years, January was a dreaded month for me. After a few months of lighter crowds due to holiday travel and weather, using the squat rack and bench presses as I please, and training at any hour of the day, the dream was over. A New Year meant an onslaught of “Resolutionists” (as I …
Dear White People, this last year was pretty rough, but I hope that we can duck our heads and briskly walk away like we do every time homeless people ask us for loose change. I was ready to approach these next few months with an abundance of post-WWII level optimism until MTV released a terribly …
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you probably had a lot of goals for 2016 that didn’t get done. Resolutions, goals, wishes, and bucket list items…all those things. No? Just me, then? When it comes to good practices or goal setting, New Year’s Day is pretty arbitrary. It’s not like …

Every year I make New Years resolutions I know I’m going to break. A lot of us do. I mean, sure we go in with the best of intentions. We’re still slightly hungover from all the Christmas cookies we’ve been eating and all that we had to drink the night before (me? just me?) but …
