Hello, and welcome to our blog. We're bff (best friends forever...very Mean Girls of us, we know, but we love the title) and we're into bff...better food and fitness. We each have our own health and fitness stories (which you can read below), but we're both striving for better, healthier lifestyles, and use each other for inspiration and support even though we're millions of miles apart (ok, maybe not MILLIONS, but it sure feels like it sometimes) in Albuquerque and Boston. The cities we live in make the "A to B" part of our blog title, and healthy living is what we're striving for! Enjoy!
About Maddie...
Hi Everyone! I'm Maddie. I'm 26 and I live in Boston with my husband. We're both from Massachusetts, and we moved into Boston in 2008 after having lived in New Mexico and attending the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque (where I met Mari!) I have a 9-5 desk job and I hate bologna. I'm working hard on this healthy living stuff, and I'm a regular at the gym. Any food-related posts are most likely going to be something made by my husband. He's the chef in our house...I HATE chopping. I love to bake and am trying to be more adventurous. You can read about my fitness and weight loss journey here!
About Mari...
Hi! I’m a native Texan currently living in Albuquerque, NM. I grew up around the best Mexican food, great running weather and amongst fantastic family and friends. I have been a competitive runner for most of the past 14 years. I had minor knee surgery three years ago and since then I’ve been less focused on the competitive part and more focused on learning how to get motivated. I think it’s fair to say I’m finally regaining my love for running and exercise in general.
Though I developed an interest in nutrition during my college years, I followed my passion for construction instead. I’m currently a project manager and learning how to (and how not to) allow the stress of my job impact my personal life- taking out my stress on a work out is great, but allowing my stress to bottle up so it affects simple discussions with my fiancé, not so great.
I’m currently engaged to an amazing guy! We’re getting married next October and couldn’t be any happier about it. We are proud parents to the most perfect 2 year old pup. Well, she does have her mischievous moments, but don’t we all?
