SumoGrip Lace Locks Review and Giveaway

I usually don't have a problem with my shoelaces because I double knot them but when I was given the opportunity to try out a pair of SUMOgrip lace locks free of charge for my honest review, I gave them a try. All opinions are my own.

5 Ways to Overcome Unhealthy Temptations or Cravings

It's Tuesday and I am linking up with hosts Jessica Joy and Jill Conyers for their The Fit Dish Link-Up every Tuesday.

Today's topic is "How do you overcome unhealthy temptations or cravings?" What a great question as I sometimes still have problems with this. It will be great to read what others will be posting on this topic. Thinking about what to write for this question also reminded me a lot about the post I wrote back in October, Halloween Candy Craving Crushers. I am going to incorporate some of the reasons I gave on how to tame the sweet tooth for this post as I think they can apply here as well.

Here's a recap of last week's workouts:

Fun on the Ice on Frozen Lake Carnegie

It's not often that nearby Lake Carnegie in Princeton is frozen enough for people to ice skate or play on. The recent run of cold weather made for 5+ inches thick of ice on the lake, making it safe for us to play. You know the ice is safe when the white flags are flying from the poles at the boathouse near Washington Road and at the Harrison Street Bridge. When the flag is red, you know the ice is not safe. We took advantage of the safe ice and went yesterday. 

TBT Hiking Post - Rattlesnake Ledge

It's Thursday, that means another Throwback Thursday hike. Today's hike is our hike to Rattlesnake ledge. We did go on this hike last June and you can read the post here.  

If you remember from my last TBT Hiking post, you saw me pregnant at about 34 weeks. Now baby number 1 is out and he is about 2 and a 1/2 months old. :) Here are some pics from the hike.

Here I am with my little 2.5 month old. I remember him being very curious and he liked to look around. I think he liked looking at all the tall trees.
