"Date Weight." My dad uses this term in reference to people who lose a bunch of weight after a breakup in order to attract a new partner. Personally, I'm not a fan of the term, so I use it here as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that dating and fitness do go together. Not only do we want to look nice for both the sake of our own confidence and to be attractive to the opposite sex, but I actually live in a place that fitness is an extremely popular choice as a type of date. Lots of people love being outside, being physically active, and doing crazy things together like trail running and mountain biking. Hence, in order to date (or even just relate to people), staying fit is a must! :-)

Naturally Gluten Free 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Because First Dates are Hard

This week has made me realize that, for a girl who writes about dating, I’m apparently not very good at it. I have been officially single for almost ten years. In that time, I have racked up my fair share of dates. First dates mostly, a few second dates, and a small handful of “somethings” that last little longer than a few weeks.

But I’ve learned something valuable about myself this week: Perhaps the reason I’ve been single this long is not because I’m picky… Perhaps I’m just bad at dating. 😉

Now, do I really think I’m bad at it? Probably not. This week has just created a perfect storm of stress, irritation and frustration which has subsequently turned into some weird sort of low self-esteem and discomfort….

Mexican Veggie Hash

I told you all that I would give you an overview of the veggies I took to my friends’ house for dinner.

The vegetable is a strange thing. I know it’s good for me. I know I am “supposed” to consume a certain amount every day in order to keep a healthy body and a date-ready physique. However, I have to be honest, I’m just not into it.

I once had a friend who realized she was pregnant because she was constantly craving…. wait for it… salads. I have a feeling that is not going to be me. I mean, I can appreciate a well-made salad, but I do not suffer a love affair with vegetables in general and I can always appreciate a good sour patch kid or ice cream cone much more than I can a vegetable tray….

Happy New Year!!!

I realize that January is over half way over, so a post on New Year’s Resolutions is a bit late. But, since the idea behind resolutions is that they last the whole year, I guess 15 days doesn’t hurt.

I have a friend who posted on Facebook the other day that he wished it was finally February so that all of the Resolutioners would be gone and the gym would be less crowded. Honestly, I really dislike making New Years’ Resolutions, and this is why. I don’t like the idea that to start a new habit, the New Year has to happen. I also don’t like that two thirds of the time, resolutions fall to the wayside as soon as January is over. That being said, the New Year does present a clean slate in which to outline a slightly new routine, and perhaps a slightly new me.
