30 day Yoga Challenge, Mindless Snacking & September Goals – #MoveitMondays

Confession time. Over the past couple weeks I’ve noticed some of my clothing fitting a little more snug than usual and have also noticed myself slipping into old habits of mindless snacking. You know what I mean. As in you are working on a paper or doing something around the house and all of the…

I love running for many reasons – for my health, to pump up my happy endorphins, to take some time for myself, to kick…

On Wednesday evening I finished my first ten km race! In my very first blog post here at Ceara’s Kitchen I discuss how I’ve grown from a state where I’d lose my breath attempting to run to catch the bus at the end of the street towards becoming one of those crazy people – you know who are you…
