Hi everyone, hope you all had a good day and are getting excited because tomorrow is Friday. Are you doing a little dance? I am for two reasons: First, because the new reception room is finally built at our venue and we get to see it for the first time tomorrow night. Second, because my […]
Congrats Wednesday is gone and now it's smooth sailing till the weekend. Quick yesterday recap then I'm off to study. Yesterday's Lunch? Still enjoying the Healthy Shrimp Enchilada Bake, man I love casseroles... they feed an army or create a never ending food supply for two people. Score! Bonus I actually remembered to take a […]
Things I Hate and Love We have been putting a couple drops of stevia in Paul's green juice which he likes much better. This morning he said, "I hate this juice, a salad in a cup grosses me out, but I love it because I know how good it is for me." I almost spit […]
Happy Humpday everyone! Halfway there people! Last night's Alpha workout was interesting, it was more metabolic conditioning then strength which I was kind of bummed about because I feel like I'm pretty conditioned from all the running. It's the muscle department that I'm lacking in. Anyways, the workout was 5 Rounds 500 meter row, 20 […]
Happy Tuesday everyone, guess whats on my agenda? If you guessed studying your right, and tonight will be my second Alpha workout. I'm definitely nervous and excited per usual. Anyways, lets talk about yesterday though because I have another amazing dinner recipe for you today! It started with 20 minutes of yoga and a big […]
Last nights dinner was amazing and pretty easy to whip together. Inspired by Rachel Ray's Tortilla Crusted Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche. Ingredients: • 4 6-inch whole wheat low carb tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory) • 10 asparagus stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • ½ […]
Happy Sunday night everyone, here is what I did so far to get ready for the week. Planned the last part of my half marathon training. I'm so happy after the Maggie's Place 10K today to get some confidence back that my body might actually be able to run 13.1 miles. I was definitely getting […]
Hi everyone, guess what???? I DID IT! Thank you so much for the encouraging comments on yesterday's post (10K Jitters) they really helped me out before and during the race. The Brooks Adrenalines were freaking fantastic, I didn't have any pain in my hips (beyond normal running soreness.) I wore them with some old arch […]
Happy Saturday Night, This morning started out with a yummy french toast bake, made as a way to get those costco energy bars out of my fridge! It was pretty good but a little mushy, less liquid and more shallow pan next time. Then we ran errands like crazy- Walmart, Costco, Sprouts and Trader Joe's […]
Hello everyone and Happy Friday! Yesterday was a good day to say the least. It started with mini egg omelets and some grapes, paired with some pumpkin coffee. After some blogging and some computer work I started studying, but then of course I got hungry for lunch. I made myself a plate of salad with […]
Good Morning Everyone! This morning started at 4:30am for Paul and I, we crawled out of bed without hitting the snooze button and made it to the gym for an intense class complete with pylometrics, weight lifting, and high intensity intervals. Whew, love being done with working out by 6am, check off the workout for […]
Happy end of football Sunday and welcome to a new week. I think I am probably the only person NOT watching Breaking Bad right now, but since I was in grad school I never watched it so I have no idea what is going on. Other than having a vague sense of who Walt and […]
Ahhhhhhh!!!!! Hello!!!!! Blog silence broken finally! I've been trying to instagram my meals and workouts as much as possible as a substitute! Couple more weeks then I'll have my life back.... okay let's be real ...probably more like 6 weeks! Okay let's really lay it on the table and be super realistic, I was in […]
Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was full of studying over here, but I did get to spend a few hours with family and friends so that made me happy. PS this game is our official "initiation game." When Paul and I first started dating I went over to his parents […]
Hi Friends, Happy Friday! Man my post have been sporadic this week haven't they? I have been prioritizing studying for the RD exam so much I just haven't been able to do hardly anything but that. Thanks to everyone hanging in there and still reading, I have to say it will probably be sporadic like […]
Hello Everyone, hope you had a great hump day. I was so crazy today I didn't even realize that today was Wednesday. I definitely need to slow down and stop freaking out. I definitely get very motivated when I'm freaking out, but that kind of stress level isn't worth it. I am vowing to set […]
Holy Cow I just realized TODAY is SEPTEMBER 15th which means only 8 weeks EXACTLY till the wedding! So much to do, so little time! I spent all weekend studying and playing with Missy (when she made it impossible to study)! She is pretty good at making me take study breaks! I just keep telling […]
Happy Friday! My hope is that most of the world is enjoying a fun night out or relaxing night in on this Friday. For me, I'm doing a working weekend so that's why I'm posting. (Blogging is weirdly like a mini break.) Recap time! Usually I don't eat breakfast before I workout, I eat a […]
Good evening/night, I don't know how but the time flies by during the day, yet drags on and on while I study.... so weird how that works! Anyway, I started today off with a nice four mile run. I attempted some strength training after, but wasn't sure what I was okay to do so I […]
This mornings workout was hard after my long but INSANELY FUN WEEKEND (I would add pictures of the group but I may have misplaced my camera/left in a cab- WHOOPS ha ha), anyways it was definitely hard to conjure up the motivation to run. After I finally did get going, it felt really good to […]
