This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of DICK'S Sporting Goods. All opinions are 100% mine. As a lover of fitness and active living, sports are definitely a passion of mine. When it comes to my own workout routine, sports play a big part. Boxing is one of my all-time favorite ways to break a sweat, hitting the tennis courts for a friendly competition with my husband is always fun, and as an adventure lover, the feeling of racing down a trail on my mountain bike is an adrenaline rush like no other. Watching professional sports is big in my household. I love absorbing myself in big events like the Olympics, Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and Vegas fights that thrill the the boxing world. Even soccer games have even grown on me due to my husband's constant watching. But when ... [Read More]

Hearty Farro Greek Salad
This dish takes a twist on a classic Greek salad with the addition of hearty farro! After lots of holiday cookie baking and eating, it seems like a good time to focus more on greens, what do you think? You guys, I haven't shared a salad recipe in way too long. I swear, I eat salad all the time - apparently I just don't get creative and come up with new salad recipes too often. But today salad is making a comeback on Foodie Loves Fitness, and I promise you that this is one delicious meal idea! One of my favorite healthy strategies when eating out is to order a salad as an appetizer. It takes the edge off of my hunger, and I wind up eating less of my entree (which is bound to be something heavier) and taking some home as lefties. When it comes to at-home salad ... [Read More]
