I mentioned while on my Whole30 one of my favorite go-to snacks has been the LÄRABAR. On top of many of them being super delicious, they have a wide variety of products that cater to all sorts of dietary needs. Almost all of their products are held to a high standard of being: gluten free, dairy […]
Thanks to my girl, Gina, over at Noshing on Asphalt for nominating me to answer ten questions related to running. Silly girl, didn’t she realize that my blog is Wine to Weightlifting? She told me I could modify the questions if I wanted to make it more fit for me, so I’ll go ahead and […]

I’ve repeated multiple times between here and on Twitter that I dislike running. I don’t understand the “runner’s high” and since I started lifting, I struggle to see the sense in putting in hours and hours of cardio in a week, when I can do all my workouts and burn just as much body fat […]

I’m still trying to figure out how I should be eating, or what I should be eating, and how much of it I should be eating. For the next week or so though I ‘m not going to completely stress about it as I wads during my Whole30 and just go back to stress-free eating like I […]
Despite my rant on how bad the Whole30 had treated me, I have had some positive experiences, and one of them has been the introduction of coconut oil. It has become quite a staple in my household. One of my favorite ways to use it lately is to “deep-fry” sweet potatoes. Super yum! 🙂 It […]

Since my Whole30 is over, I am finally able to eat anything and everything I want without feeling guilty, right? Maybe. I have had a hard time transitioning back into “real” food. Well, “real’ in the sense like the Standard American Diet. I want to be all accepting of clean foods like oatmeal and rice, […]
