Welcome!

Hi, thanks for checking out my blog! My name is Vicky and I LOVE FOOD. Most of all I love being healthy and am trying my best to get and stay fit by eating healthy and exercising. I don't think eating healthy should always be a sacrifice, and I have a slight suspicion that the notion of good-for-you-foods tasting bad is all in our heads. Food that tastes good should make us feel good, and vice versa. Of course, the occasional indulgence is always necessary =)
I am NOT a trained chef or professional athlete by any means. I'm just someone who loves to cook and exercise. Believe it or not, I have hated running my WHOLE life up until about 2 or 3 months ago. I'm still incredibly slow, but my endurance has definitely improved (I couldn't even finish a mile in middle school). I even just signed up for my first 5K in August ... hope I'm ready! I have, however, been cooking for a few years but have very few original recipes. Most of my favorite recipes come from cookbooks and other food blogs, and when I do post them I'll tell you where to find them and how I adjust them to my personal taste (but you can always adjust it to yours too). Please feel free to leave me any useful comments or tips as this is my first blog ever (unless you count my LiveJournal from high school ... haha).
Thanks for stopping by!
