Hi! I’m TeriLyn, or Teri. Either is fine. 🙂 Thank you for visiting my blog!
I’ve been blogging since 2004! Yep, I’ve been around the internet for a while. Back then, I had a blogpost, sharing general life updates about college, training for my first half marathon (running a race was my final for my Jogging 101 class!) and new recipes I was trying.
A few years later, I discovered “Healthy Living Blogs” and loved the idea of having a website more dedicated to sharing all things healthy living and connecting with others who were like minded. (I even spoke at the Healthy Living Blogger Summit.) So, I launched A Foodie Stays Fit in 2008 to share recipes, updates about my running (I was training for my first marathon) and general life updates. And over the last 15+ years, it’s evolved with me!
Now, I’m married to an amazing man (if you’ve met him, you know), a mom to the sweetest 1.5 year old on the planet (if you’ve met HIM, you also know), and a full-time blogger. I left my Corporate career in April 2019 to pursue this thing full-time.
Before mom-ing and blogging was my full-time gig, I worked in finance for Goldman Sachs, in HR and Marketing for BB&T, and finally at Wells Fargo managing social media campaigns. I’ve always been a numbers girl, and it’s one of the reasons I love working on behind-the-scenes content here and using data to drive my content strategy.
I learned a lot about balancing work and play while working in Corporate America. I often heard, “How do you fit it all in?! How do you stay healthy when you’re working a lot AND blogging so much?” And the short answer is that I’ve built healthy, sustainable habits. (Oh, and I just worked a LOT.)
And that’s a lot of what I share here. I LOVE working but I also LOVE life, so I share all aspects of my life – motherhood, running, fashion and beauty. You can trust that I’ll ALWAYS share my honest opinion on things here, and I’ll share the hard parts of life too, like anxiety, injuries and parenting struggles. I don’t try to paint a perfect life – you can see a lot of behind the scenes on Instagram stories. 🙂
Want to know a little more? Then let’s really get to know each other, shall we?
While I live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina now, I grew up in Utah. I have 5 older brothers and 17 nieces and nephews.
I didn’t meet Tommy until our 30s (here’s how we met). There’s something really wonderful about falling in love and starting a family at this point in my life. You can read how Tommy proposed here and all about our wedding here.
We welcomed our son, Thomas, in October of 2020. He’s the light of our life. I never imagined I could be this happy.
I love running. And you’ll see tons of it on this blog. I run anywhere from 20-65 miles a week, depending on what race I’m training for, if anything. I also incorporate cross-training and strength training, and love the Peloton, Pilates and golf.
I’ve been running for over 20 years (yowza!) and have run over 50 races, including the Boston Marathon two times, three 200 mile relay races, dozens of half marathons and lots of 5K-10K races.
My first marathon took just over 4 hours and my current PR is 3 hours 17 minutes. My half marathon PR is 1:30, but my first half marathon was over 2 hours. I’m proof that you CAN improve your running speed if you work at it!
I also love fashion, beauty (I’m a makeup and skincare junkie!), cooking, and spending time with my family. We love to visit the mountains of North Carolina together.
As I’ve grown and changed, so has this platform. I am SO glad you’re here, and I hope you’ll stay awhile.
XO

atI am dying. Let’s hear it : )
Teri
athaha! I’m working on it…. 🙂
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run]
atYay, a great read 🙂 I haven’t heard of Amano chocolate, but now I’m going to look for it…
Teri
atThanks! Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Good luck – it can be hard to find. My favorite is the Ocumare if you can track it down.
The Nutrition Nut
atSo I saw the chocolate at $tarbuck$, but it’s freaking expensive – no Amano for me anytime soon : )
Teri
atI know…it really is. But save your pennies because it’s worth it!
Karlee
atEven though I already know you…its fun to read the random tid bits!
Can you give me your wheat bread recipe? I also love to make homemade bread, but am kind of tired of the recipe I have now.
Teri
atI’m so glad you liked it! And I’m so happy you are reading. And you have no idea how happy it makes me that you comment! 🙂
Sure, I’ll post my bread recipe later this week. Can you wait that long? If not, I’ll just email it to you.
Heather (Heather's Dish)
atthanks for stopping by the blog! that was a great “last bite” tip 🙂 I used to change my hair ALL THE TIME, but now I’m in the middle of growing it out (a big change!) and I’m loving it 🙂 can’t wait to read more!
Ashley
atLove how your personality totally comes through in this! Boxers are easy to become obsessed with…Dakota’s favorite thing at the current moment is pushing her body up as tight against the wall as possible where the heat vent is. She sits up and whimpers when it turns off. Love your changing hairstyles and your take on FOOD [mine is super similar]! Definitely will have to meet up at some point =)
Emily
atYou’re adorable! 🙂 I love that you’ve rocked every color and style of hair!!!
http://www.emilyeatsclean.wordpress.com
Karlee
atI guess I can wait that long 🙂 No really, that’s totally fine! It’s not hard for me to comment..your writing is entertaining and you’re talking about two of my passions as well! I love it.
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run]
atYou really can pull off a lot of different ‘dos. I’m a fan of the long, brunette locks : )
Teri
atThanks Hillary! I always like to know which style people like best.
Michelle (Life With Relish)
atI just found your blog and I LOVE it! I can’t wait to read more. I just started healthy living blogging, and I’m totally obsessed with my dog, too, so I can really relate to you 🙂
Teri
atThanks for stopping by Michelle! I’ll check out your blog too! 🙂
nelly
atWhat part of NC? My hubby is from Roanoke Rapids…like 45 min north of Raleigh
Teri
atI’m in Winston Salem.
Alta
atYou work at a bank? Hooray for bankers that love food! I have worked in credit unions since I graduated from high school – I am not a teller either, although I’ve been one before! (I’m a compliance manager) I love that you change your hair – it always looks cute. And I love the Brita filter at your desk idea – I might have to try that. I hate drinking the psuedo-filtered water here at the office, but the idea of bringing like 8 bottles of water sounds ridiculous. And not so great for the environment!
Teri
atI think a lot of bankers love food, but not all bankers love good food. 🙂
And thanks for the compliment on my hair. It’s one way I spice up my life!
Seriously, the Brita filter is awesome. Assuming you have a restroom close by! 😉
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries
ati’m so happy i just found your blog! i love it, and you’re hysterical.
Teri
atWhy thank you. 🙂
Carissa @ Fit To Indulge
atYou’re story of meeting your husband is so cute. And it sounds like you stay busy with banking, baking, wifing, and fitness class. I look forward to reading more. 🙂
Teri
at“wifing” – I LOVE it. 🙂 I have to stay busy since my husband is so busy all the time!
Kristie
atWow, loved reading through this. I really want to hear the rest of the hubby story!
marla {familyf fresh cooking}
atYou guys are both adorable! great wit you have girl 🙂 Love all the hair style and color changes!
Teri
atthanks! 🙂
Lauren
atHey Teri!
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to find you! Girl, I LOVE your blog! You are so adorable and everything I have read about you reminds me soooooo soooo much of myself. I am so happy that you commented on my site because I was able to stumble over here and meet you!
Hope we can keep in touch.
Take care always! <3
Lauren
Teri
atThank you so much! I love reading your blog too. I’m a follower and read all your posts! 🙂
janetha b
atGIMME MAIZEY! gah. so cute! thanks for commenting on my blog so i could find yours 🙂 gotta love the SLC pride!! so awesome that you are an avid runner. i admire that for sure. were you at the ben harper/jj concert at usana? if so, i was there!! and i would totally challenge you in an ice cream eating contest! it would be a battle most definitely. annnyway, i will stop rambling now. xo!
Teri
atI went to Ben Harper/JJ concert at Deer Valley. Seriously AHHHHmazing. I didn’t know they did a combo show again!! I saw JJ at Usana by himself and didn’t like him at that venue as much.
Next time I’m in Utah, we should have a blogger get-together and base all it around ice cream! 🙂
Christie
atJust realized I hadn’t read your ‘about me’ yet, so just did. Man- you are one lucky lady! You can really rock any hairstyle, color, you name it- so pretty! I was going to say which I liked best, but they are seriously all rockin! 😉
I love your thought from when you first saw your husband. The night I met Ryan (only for about 5 minutes and was forced to give him my #) I went home and told my mom I met the guy I was going to marry. We’ve got great intuition!
~CK
Teri
atThanks for the compliment about my hair! You’re sweet.
That’s funny you thought the same thing about your hubby! I love it!
Jenn
atI just randomly found you blog through some comments on another. Looks like we follow a similar food philosophy except I’m not pescatarian. I’ve actually never read In Defense of Food but so many people have told me I’d love it. It’s on my list with 2098 other books.
Okay so I think it is RAD that you change your hair so much. That was the first page I looked at on here. I was trying to decide which one I liked best but couldn’t because you look so dang cute in all of them!
I knew I was going to marry my husband the moment I saw him too. He was my next door neighbor and I met him on my doorstep. We were engaged 3 months later and will celebrate our 11th anniversary this year.
Anyway I’m glad I stopped by…nice to *meet* you.
Teri
atThanks for stopping by! And thank you for supporting my OCHCS (Obsessive Compulsive Hair Changing Syndrome). 🙂
That’s so cool about your hubby!

atHi~ I found your site through Earth Muffin. Your photos are adorable! What a cute family.. especially the dog – she melts my heart! OMG I am a vegetarian and am wondering if you have ever tried it or are you working towards that goal? Also, why do you choose to include fish? For me, fish fall in the category along with farm animals.. I have to admit that before I was exposed to the harsh reality of animal cruelty in factory farming (like 15 years ago) I was just like the next person but when I found out and was able, I made the full switch within a few months. Being vegetarian helps the planet, animals and your health. You’ve got a great site, I will be bookmarking it.
Teri
atthanks for visiting! I initially stopped eating poultry and meat just because I don’t like the taste or texture. And then I started realizing how much better I felt without it in my diet. And then I started learning more about the ethical/environmental reasons for not eating chicken/pork/beef so that helped me avoid it even more. I don’t have digestive issues with fish, so that’s the main reason I haven’t given that up [plus, I LOVE it] but I also don’t know much about fish farming. I do try to buy wild seafood as much as possible and really only eat seafood a couple times a month. Do you have any suggested reading about fish farming?
I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% vegetarian or vegan, but when I do eat animal products, I try to be conscious of the quality and background of it.
Thanks for your comment and thoughts!
icare
atThanks for your reply. Here are some sites I found: http://animalrights.about.com/od/animalsusedforfood/a/FishFarming.htm
http://www.fawc.org.uk/reports/fish/fishrtoc.htm

I found these to be very detailed and informative. I hope these help you.

atTeri..
Being a hair stylist, I must agree with the above.. I can’t believe how you can pull off any style not to mention color!!! Not many can do the full spectrum of color and still be hot~:)
I am a newbie blogger and am looking for any and all helpful hints for mine.. would you be so kind when you have a minute to check it out and give me some feed back???
thanks so much and I look forward to many happy readings on yours!

atI just wanted to come stop by your blog and say hello! Thanks for entering the giveaway. I notice we have some similar interests and I love the look of your site. I’ll probably be back to check more out soon. 🙂
Katie @ Two Lives, One Lifestyle
atI haven’t any idea why it took me so long to find your blog! Our blogroll is pretty much identical and I’m loving reading so far- funny, up-beat, and good lookin foods. The boxer puppy photo is adorableeee! I’ll be around 🙂
Teri
athaha! You’re right; we do have the same blog roll! I’m glad you stopped by; love your blog – cool concept! I’m following now. 🙂
TheDon
atJust found your blog, it’s pretty good!
10-4 on the eating healthy, I’ve come around recently. HUGE 10-4 on the nasty black bean brownies… got tricked into them once. Thought about sandpapering my mouth afterward.
Gonna be in western NC for a ‘running event’ in late August and could use a pacer(s) for the 2nd half (or part of it). You or anyone you know free on the weekend of the 28th? all trail, no road, lots of hills, lots of miles. Don’t need to mule my stuff or anything just keep me moving. 🙂
Teri
atGlad you like the blog Don! I don’t know anyone that is into hard-core trail running, but I’ll keep my ears open and let you know if I find anyone around here that would want to be your pacer. Sounds fun and a little crazy! 🙂
Heather
atHey Teri!! Just found your blog and love it. I also work in a bank and i as well am not a teller. hehe. Keep up the great blogging!!!
Teri
atwassup fellow non-teller banker? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Teri
atYou are so nice! Hair changing keeps life interesting. 🙂
Lauren
atI just found your blog-you are too cute! I will have to tell one of my besties about you-she is a hair stylist and her hair changes constantly. I’m boring and my hair has never seen a drop of color 🙂 Looking forward to reading more!
Teri
atThanks for stopping by! Um, sometimes I wish I’d never started coloring my hair! haha!
You’ll have to tell me what style/color your friend likes best. Usually stylists have a pretty strong opinion about that sort of thing. 😉
Estela @ Weekly Bite
atHi! Thanks so much for commenting on my blog because now I’ve found yours!
I love your story! I can’t wait to read more!!!
C
atReally?!?! You’re 25, too? I’d pegged you for older! (I feel ridiculous typing this. I hear it from people all the time, so somehow it’s silly for me to say.)
But wow! I think I love you even more now. (Hehehe!)
Teri
athahaha! my whole life people have thought I’m older than I am. I hope that starts to change in a few years though. 🙂
[email protected]
atbeing a hairstylist I have to agree with the above comments.. you can rock any color and cut!!! HOw lucky for you.. not many can do that..especially color!!
I am excited to have found you as I too am a foodie that wants to stay fit:)
I am newbie blogger and am looking for any helpful comments and suggestions on my site if you ever feel the desire or have extra time to check it out!!
happy easter!!

Sassy Molassy

Fantastic pics! I have no doubt you’re a champ, but I’d be a close second in the ice cream contest lady.
All the best doll!
Ameena
atI am pretty obsessed with hair in general and I think yours is fabulous!
I love dark chocolate too. Have you tried Trader Joe’s 72% Dark Chocolate? I can’t find anything, anywhere in the world that tastes better than that bar!
Great pictures!
Teri
atThank you!
I haven’t tried that Trader Joe’s chocolate. There isn’t a Trader Joe’s near me – the closest one is 1.5 hours away! 🙁

Great About Me page…I need to create one as awesome as yours!

This page sounds like a fairytale to me 🙂

Crista
atha ha ha!!! I just found your blog, love your about page and I can’t wait to read more 🙂 I have been a barista at Starbucks and few people have screamed at me… mostly when we were out of whipped cream. However I too screamed back the other day, when I tried the cake pops, screamed in delight!

Anna
atFantastic blog, I’m really enjoying it. Just curious though, when mentioning where you work, why did you feel that you had to say you were not a teller. Why just tell us what your title or job is at the bank. ??
Teri
atA girl has gotta have some secrets, right? 😉
Actually when I wrote this, I worked in an area that’s deals with confidential information and just preferred not to share. But now I work in Marketing and love to talk about it!
Baking 'n' Books
atI love this! …and all your different hair colors 😉
I have yet to read “In Defense of Food” – on my list. I do eat meat though…not like 5 times a day! I am a die-hard Veggie lover, whole-grains, yogurt, etc. But still enjoy my chicken, fish and eggs.
Could be worst!
Ameena
atYou have gorgeous hair! And your hubby is super cute too. 🙂
Teri
atThanks and thanks! 🙂
Susan
atI love the red. Is it one you can share or do you just have a great hairdresser?
Teri
atI just had a great hairdresser. However, the brighter red that I had for a while was a DIY color:
The color combination is:
*2/3 bottle of 607 Cyclamen
*1/3 bottle of 445 Light Auburn
1/4 bottle of 507 Burgundy
ONE PART is the above mixture to TWO parts of developer #10 with a splash of #20. All purchased at Sally Hansen. 🙂

[email protected]
atI have been having skin problems for a few years now too. I avoided the teenage problems, but it flared up when I was 21. I still have hormonal acne, but I find that using over-the-counter Clean and Clear acne solution really does help, and I honestly feel like I will always have a few pimples during my period, and that’s just how it is. Haha. I do have some scarring as well which has gotten so much better after using retinol cream. My doc recommended it and it does help slowly. You can get it on amazon for about $10, and it lasts months.
Clair
atI am all over your food philosophy. Sounds a LOT like me. =) It was great to meet you (however briefly) yesterday, and I’m looking forward to browsing around here a bit!
Caren @ voodies

You look pretty cool amongst your 5 brothers! You have a cool & fun foodblog over here!
Many greetings from a foodie from Belgium! 😉
Teri [a foodie stays fit]
atthanks Sophie! Glad you stopped by my blog! 🙂
Amanda
atGreat blog, but you come off as sort of pretentious with the “No, I’m not a teller” bit. Does your advertising job make you leaps and bounds more comfortable with yourself than if you were some lowly bank teller?
Teri [a foodie stays fit]
athaha definitely not! It’s just “are you a teller?” is the most common question I get when I tell people I work at a bank. 🙂 I certainly didn’t mean for anyone to interpret it as pretentious.
Kim @ Roaming Raspberry
atOh my gosh, I feel like we’re the same person! I grew up in Utah, with 6 brothers, me being the youngest and only girl too! Does everyone ask you if you were spoiled too? More like picked on, am I right? I lived in south Carolina for a time, so close to north Carolina! I sure miss those beautiful Utah mountains too! They’re my favorite thing in the world! Also, found your blog through a guest post you did about your trip to Switzerland paris and rome. My husband and I did that EXACT same trip. How awesome was Gimmewald!? I want to retire there!
Brianna

I recently stumbled across your blog and I love it!! I also started training for my first half marathon at the beginning of this year (woohoo)!! It’s been so fun to push myself in a new way and see what I am capable of…especially since I used to HATE running!!! Any tips for beginners that you have?! Or any tips for a first half marathon??
Thanks!! ??
Amanda F
atHey Teri – Have you ever shared a marathon training plan? I’d love to see what you do… I recently got terrible shin splits and talked to a sports medicine Dr and he recommend less mileage & increased cross-training.
thanks!

atI would love to utilize the photo of you and your pup for my social media site and in return send you one of our exclusive new bags we are launching for dog parents….I adore the photo of you, your jeep and your pup…that’s my kind of life. I traveled with a now ex boyfriend in brevard NC with his dog and a jeep; from that moment on I knew I wanted both just not the guy. ha …..

atHi there, was wondering if I could get in contact with you regarding Beauty Counter. I tried the email you provided in your blog, but it didn’t work for some reason

atHi Teri, quick question on cross-fit. I have been cross-fitting for close to 3 months now and I am noticing that my breast size has increased – is this normal? When can one expect a reduction? Would be grateful for a reply!

atI didn’t experience that so I’m not much help!
Franky
atHI Teri. Didn’t know you’re a Les Mills’ RPM instructor also. I’m a Les Mills’ RPM and SPRINT instructors and love teaching cycle classes. You don’t miss that? Good luck on your next marathon.

atHi Teri,
Your hair always looks amazing ! Where do you get it done? I’m also looking for a good place to get my legs waxed.
A while ago you recommended kavita to shape and tint my eye brows and she did an amazing job.
Thank you!!

atHi Teri,
I just listened to your interview for the Rambling Runner Podcast, and I loved your story! Now I subscribed to your Blog and would love to follow you on Strava (I’ve requested to follow you over there already), I hope you’ll allow me.
I’ m a full time cardiologist from Brazil, I started running 10 years ago and did my first marathon last year. Now I hope to qualify for Boston, and your story inspires me to! I need JUST a 15 minutes PR!
