We all remember the first time we tried pot. At least for me, all I wanted was food and to sleep and couldn’t physically get up from a chair for over an hour at a house party when I was about 16 or 17. I didn’t like it. And I haven’t really ever been into the drug since – I’ve tried to be cool over the year but yep, never… Keep Reading
In partnership with Stayfree. I turn 37 in 10 days and I just ran my fourth half marathon in the last four years. If someone told me I would be in the best shape of my life at this age, I would have laughed in my twenties – when I was skinny, wrinkle-free and totally innocent to the aging process. As moms, we put our bodies through a lot! From… Keep Reading
Refueling your body with the correct and most necessary nutrients after a workout is essential and important. Some want to reach for an indulgent treat feeling they deserved it for completing such strenuous exercise whereas others are meticulous about what they put in their body down to the last gram. Regardless of where you stand on that spectrum, rest assured that Premier Protein is here to help. The new great… Keep Reading
Holidays are a time that we tend to enjoy indulging and not caring about those extra calories, what’s actually in our foods, or getting little sleep and just spending money like it’s free. But when New Years is about to hit, we all turn on overdrive and scramble to choreograph these intricate goals to help erase any and all bad decisions we may have made. What most of us lack,… Keep Reading
I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
Been thinking about grabbing a Citi Bike membership with all the expansions into the boroughs? The ever-increasing public transportation fees has brought New Yorkers to the point of seeking out other options to get around, and it’s almost impossible not to jump into this trend – but just do so with some bike safety facts. While you’re out and about – notice the new wrapped docks from Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by prAna – but all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting Football Food and Motherhood! You have to love that athleasure wear is the cool trend these days. What is better for a mom on-the-go than being able to look cute and feel comfortable? With all the walking, commuting around the city and constant moving (bend and snap, anyone?), I need clothes that can… Keep Reading
If you’re a sports girl like myself, you have grown up watching ESPN just like our parents left the weather channel on all day. Those early years in my twenties were spent with countless hours behind the bar, and SportsCenter, PTI and Around the Horn. I knew more stats that most “doods” walking in and it didn’t hurt my tips 🙂 But as a yinzer surrounded by sports in the… Keep Reading
I used to go camping constantly as a kid. In fact, I loved it so much my parents would actually set up the pop-up camper in our backyard when we weren’t so I could sleep out there and play in it. While some families pack up and go away to fancy Dirty Dancing like resorts, we filled up the pop-up and headed over the the murky brown Pymatuning Lake every… Keep Reading
Starting a new sport always sounds fun until you realize all the equipment that goes with it. Biking requires fixing flat tires and helmets, hiking needs the right boots, water packs and bug spray and even running means you need to get fitted for the right shoe. Wait, what? Yes, it’s not as easy as you think to just head out and “rough” it, and since so many of you… Keep Reading
