Time to Chime on the Time to Shine Ilana Katz MS, RD, CSSD As we start off a new decade, many are making resolutions for the new year and the new “you” and then many become “resolutioner” haters simultaneously. I have been seeing both sides and wanted to chime in with my own $0.02 worth. There are many polls that throw out stats of how many people tend to make new years resolutions (it so happens an average of ~50% of Americans make new year’s resolutions based on weight, fitness […]
Bone Injury in Athletes with Inadequate Calcium Intake
A Personal reflection! As many of my friends and clients know, I have been dealing with a broken finger on my left hand. I have had multiple surgeries, the last being at end of 2017. Not happy with the result. First words from orthopedics mouth were my bones are in a disastrous state. Really, me, fitness model (well almost, right, lol), nutrition expert (we all know what that means, right?) and even “the professor.” Well, needless to say, pain and bone issues are persistent. My checklist of appropriate solutions has […]
St. George Marathon – Race Report
Ilana Katz MS, RD, CSSD It’s been more than a week and the obligatory race report has been calling my inner conscience. This marathon report feels especially significant to me, as it was followed by a week of (sometimes) strenuous hiking and exploring beautiful Utah. Believe it or not, Ironman Chatty, although two years ago for me, still feels like yesterday… I am not ready for another Ironman quite yet, although am having endurance withdrawals. This lead to the declaration of 2016 being the year of “Just a Marathon.” Oh […]

Training (outside!) in the winter
Resolve to run (outside!) through the winter. Why some people make it through and others don't.
IRONMAN 70.3 AUGUSTA 9-27-2015
On the anniversary of my last full ironman distance event I participated in my 10th half that crazy distance. Yes, I have a hard time saying “raced” for some odd reason… I guess I feel too much pressure having to “race” rather than “participate”. Mind you, if you shuffle the letters around, “raced” can be found in “participated.” Then again, I do need to get over it: “race” is what triathletes do, even if it’s not racing against fellow participants, one often has that sense of racing against oneself. Augusta […]
Burnout !! Get over it!!
Yeah, its been awhile since I put finger to keyboard to emotitype. Coined a new phrase today – “emotitype”! Hashtag that ;-). My personal stories in the past have been mostly race reports, or travel experiences in exotic places (that always involved a race or training camp of some sort). Today I am just sitting here, inspired to write a bit more about me and what inspired this. I have been posting my own Work Out of the Day Challenges, Meal plans of the day recommendations and lean, clean recipes […]
