Welcome!

That's me playing "Segway Hero" at Emily's house.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Gretchen, and I am a self-proclaimed on-again off-again health nut. Like most weight-conscious Americans, I tend to oscillate between gorging myself and going hungry, or running 10 miles and getting winded on the stairs at work. I participate in the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia every year (for the last 4 years), and I tend not to run much in between. Last year, a rep from the gym where I have a membership called to ask where I had been in the last 3 months. You know, life happens.
The reason I wanted to start this blog is because... well, currently, I'm "on-again," but also, I'd love to share the things that I have learned, and that my body has enjoyed, over the last few years. I'm hoping writing about it will motivate me to keep it up, and maybe inspire some other peeps to join in. I'm going to post recipes, activities, and stories that inspire me.

So, thanks for stopping by! I'll be posting soon :)
