I'm a happy and healthy 29-year old who values her relationships with friends and family. I ADORE dogs and am counting down the days until Dan and I get one. I'm pretty obsessed with nutrition (I'll talk your ear off any day about the wonders of juicing) and am also determined to get into the shape of my life. My new love? Running!

The Fitness Zone
By Jodi Rigotti

Workout enthusiast Jodi Rigotti discusses the latest exercise trends and reveals her secrets for success at the gym.

I Feel Great
My diet and exercise routine is going great. I've been going to the gym pretty frequently and eating right. I had a couple carb-obsessed days (agan, good carbs such as whole wheat pastas and grains are good) but I was going a little overboard on all the w
Off to a great start
I'm proud of myself. I did pretty good this week with both eating and exercise. I went to the gym a couple times, and it felt so great to get moving and sweating again. I didn't especially love the spin class I went to, mainly because the music didn't rea
This time I know it's for real
I feel like I've been saying for months now that I've fallen off track with my diet and exercise routine. I keep saying, "I have to get back into it, I have to get back into it." But for some reason, the determination just hasn't been sticking. But I thin
Bring it back!
I've completely lost my fitness motivation, and I don't know how to get it back. I could sit here and name a million reasons -- ie. we moved to a new townhouse and haven't joined a new gym (and on top of that, we spend alot of our free time on house stuff

Back in the game
I wasn't feeling myself there for awhile. I was eating more and working out less. For someone who likes exercise and loves nutrition, I hated that I wasn't practicing what I preached. So for starters, I dug out my old Weight Watchers material (I've done W
Just thinking
I hate hate hate when bad things happen to good people. I really try to see the good in this world, and I usually do, but when I hear about a human being inflicting a senseless crime on another, it temporarily crushes my whole belief in humanity. I will n
I'm hurting today
I'm hurting today. But in a very good way. Last night, my husband and I worked out together at the gym. Sometimes we get in the habit of doing this, and it can be really motivational. For example, we take turns lifting weights (sure my sets are much light
Jumping back in
Tonight I'm going jogging with my friend Erin for the first time in quite awhile. At first I was reluctant to because I knew I was going to be slow and a bit out of shape. But she quickly reminded me that its been QUITE a while since she last jogged, so t
Exercise Hiatus
I'm pretty frustrated because I seem to have fallen off the fitness wagon. For a while there, things were going really strong. Dan and I were running outside a lot, and although my improvement was slow, I WAS improving. I was so proud of myself to have go
