Hi there!  I’m Melissa, but friends call me River.  I live in downtown Chicago, and am working on balancing my social life with healthy habits!  This blog will focus on my journey through life and my adventures in and out of the city. My main focus will be to use this blog to stay accountable to clean eating and lifting, though I may digress if there are other things on my mind.

Stop by my food blog, Adventures of an Urban Foodie, to read about my food adventures!  If I keep up this blog, I may end up updating that one as well, if I find new recipes to try out!
