Boston, MAMy name is Tina, I’m 30-years-old, and I live in Boston, Massachusetts with my husband, Mal, and my pug, Murphy. Besides spending time with my family and friends (and, of course, blogging), I love to stay active. My favorite form of exercise is running, and my husband and I are training for the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon in Phoenix in January 2011. I also enjoy walking, hiking, yoga, and Body Pump. (Ok, I’m a bit obsessed with Body Pump!) I also love baking, wine tasting, dining out, and traveling.
My full-time job is blogging for Carrots ‘N’ Cake, but I also juggle a number of part-time gigs. I write another blog called Trading Up Downtown for a nutritional rating company called NuVal. The main focus of the blog is how to save money and select nutritious foods with the help of the NuVal system. Additionally, I write a weekly feature for Health.com as part of their Feel Great Weight program. And, in October 2009, I secured a book deal with Sterling Publishing. My book will be published in Spring 2011 and it is based off my blog, Carrots ‘N’ Cake.

01.03.11Pump Up Your Pasta
Pasta gets a bad rap. It's high in calories, but if you chose a whole-grain variety, it's often packed with vitamins and fiber. I also like to 'pump up' my pasta dishes by adding salad greens or baby ... -

I love to bake, so I try to 'healthify' recipes by adding low-calorie and nutritious ingredients. A little portion control doesn't hurt either! -
12.15.10By finding little ways to burn calories throughout my day.
I burn a few extra calories by parking my car in the far corner of the lot when I do my shopping. All of those extra steps (and calories) really add up, and this strategy works all year round! -
