Tina – my prayers are with you, your family and friends who may have been near the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

Hi Tina,
I’ve been reading your blog ( from New Zealand!) for several months now. Just want to say THANK YOU for existing! I’ve changed so many things about my diet and fitness since I started reading. You are the bomb diggity.
Random- I too was a waitress one summer on Block Island, and we also drank on the job, ( and prob before and after too). Must have gained 20 lbs that summer! Still paying for it. Anyways I love you! Kia Ora

Tina,
I love your blog! I belong to a boot camp program in Tulsa, Oklahoma and our trainer/nutritionist suggested your blog to us. I always like to try your recipes, most recently I tried the garlic mustard sauce you add to drumsticks. Best chicken I’ve ever had! We don’t have a Trader Joe’s in Tulsa, but word on the street is we are getting one. I’m so excited! I am coming to Boston May 19-24 (first timer) for a conference and wondered if you have any restaurant suggestions or cool touristy things to do. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Amanda

My family love this “Garlic Mustard Chicken” recipe that my son used to make it for this Mother’s Day. It sure was the best gift that he had given me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
That virtue surely makes this a much better world.
I sure would like to do the same if I could.

Tina May 27, 2013 at 7:57 pm: So glad you liked it!

Hi Tina! I have a question for you, given that you have had health issues as well. I have an autoimmune disease and have always been on certain “diets” to help with this. I have pretty much adapted everything i’ve read to fit my lifestyle, etc, but i’m always open to new programs or books. I read and LOVED The Whole 30 which was awesome!! Can you recommend any other books that you have enjoyed for healthy diet?

Thanks so much!

Tina June 7, 2013 at 7:47 am: @Emily: Here are a few that I enjoyed! news.health.com/2011/04/05/weight-loss-books/

Hi Tina!
I recently started a blog (as recent as today actually!) and found yours while exploring what a “real” blog should look like! Thank you for posting such great information on starting a blog, and while I had already started a blogger account instead of your suggestion for wordpress, I hope to inspire people just as you have! I’d love to keep contact with you and any advice or information you can lend would be VERY much appreciated!

Nicole

Tina June 13, 2013 at 6:29 pm: Good luck with your new blog! Love the name!

Hi there-
Trying to figure out which “package” NASM to buy.
Seems like a lot of bells and whistles-
did you get basic/least expensive one-
I’m 50-something year old mom (two girls prob your age)/self described gym rat,
thinking about getting NASM certified-
thanks!
Stephanie

Tina June 30, 2013 at 10:00 am: Nice!! I went with the basic (cheapest) option. Good luck!!!

Hi Tina! I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months now. Can’t remember how I came across it, but it was around the same time I started a blog of my own, and you’ve been very inspiring. I love reading about your days and fitness experiences. Thank you for sharing!

Tina July 13, 2013 at 11:14 am: Thanks for reading CNC!

I know you’ve heard this before but I really, really like your blog. I am glad I have this summer off to read it and catch up.

Thanks for all of the tips (running gear) and race recaps. I look forward to reading your blog.

Hi Tina!
I am a freshman in college and I’ve been here for two weeks.
My jeans are ALREADY starting to get a little uncomfortably snug!

We have a full gym here but I’m feeling a little intimidated and need some inspiration.

Could you post some tips on healthy eating and exercising? Thanks!

Hi! I am a nurse from NYC and I have started crossfit for four months now. I have struggled with finding a balance between work, eating healthy and exercise due to my crazy schedule and hours. I am new to your blog and have to say it is very inspirational and love the recipes that you post! Thanks for posting.

Emily November 18, 2013 at 11:48 am

Hello Tina!

I am a big fan of your blog, thanks for sharing all of your wonderful advice/stories/experiences!

I read through your NASM post and have just a quick question. I’ve been reading up a lot on the National Strength and Conditioning Association certification and was wondering if you considered it before deciding on NASM. It seems like a credible/appealing certification as well, so I didn’t know if you had any opinions about it.

Thanks!

Tina November 18, 2013 at 12:22 pm: It really just depends on your goals and what you want to do with the certification. NASM was the best fit for me. There’s a post on CNC about why I picked it. Hope it helps! 😄

Hi Tina! I would love to work with you and have you do a giveaway of my plant-based cleanse program on your blog. I am happy to send you a copy of the cleanse to check it out beforehand to see if you’d be interested! LOVE your site and all that you do. You rock.

I will admit, I had never heard of you but I was looking up information on a Pottery Barn shelf and happened upon an article about hanging one you had posted. I explored a little to see more of your content and that is when it happened…

I fell in love with Murphy.

You are beautiful, do not misunderstand that I missed that (and Mal, I wish I had one like that to come home to!) but I have become enamored with Murphy.

I will continue to explore, I do love to learn new things and what I have seen is entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work! But, be sure to give Murphy the occasional spotlight that is so deserved.
