Hi Friends! Sorry no post yesterday, I was out all day and you know what, I just didn’t have anything THAT mind blowing to say, I know, shocker right? 😉 I wanted to tell you about my first ever track run on Wednesday night, but I didn’t think that substantiated a whole post, so we […]
Reader: "Can you write a blog post on how not to stress eat during the holidays?!" Me: "Oooo that's a good one!" Reader: "Yeah #myfamilyiscrazyandiwantallthebadfoods" <----- #truth Take a moment to envision this classic holiday scene full of warm fuzzy socks and real life: You're in the kitchen with some sort of a family member, […]

Hi Friends! Unfortunately I can’t show you what I ate the last couple of days because A) it’s a secret since I’m working on recipes for this month’s Recipe Redux B) it’s cloudy outside and all my food looks like gruel. It’s okay though because for breakfast I’ve pretty much had this same spinach and […]
I couldn’t resist, I had to do it…. as I scoured amazon looking for what I wanted to ask Santa (aka Mr. Hungry) for Christmas I figured I might as well put together my first ever running gift guide as well! I mean, I was looking at the stuff anyways right? Then I super got […]
Yesterday was one of those days I’m glad I’m recording my food... let me explain... I woke up and decided a UCAN bar (What the Heck is Generation UCAN?) sounded like a good idea before my run and it was. The run went okay, except for the pup was more ownrey than usual, back to […]
Hey Friends Happy Tuesday, oh my gosh is it only Tuesday? Yesterday was kind of a long day of nudging along, you know those days when you feel like you don’t get anything done because you keep hitting road blocks? That’s how yesterday felt for me but on the plus side I got a super […]
Hi Friends! Happy Monday I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Let’s get down to it I have some fun stuff to tell you about! Saturday My last day at Life Time, a fun and a weirdly relaxing day. I wasn’t stellar at recording food this weekend, isn’t that always the truth? Here are a […]
Happy Friday friends (or Saturday by the time you read this post)! Today and tomorrow are weird days, they are sadly my last working at Life Time. I love Life Time and am so grateful for my time there, all the clients and co workers, and my friends. I’ll be leaving to take on teaching […]
Happy Thursday out there! I can’t believe we are already three days into December, so far we have two things crossed off the Christmas Bucket List! This is one of those months I definitely want to slow down as much as possible! As promised for mindful December, let’s catch up! Tuesday Recap Tuesday I woke […]
Good morning friends! Guess what? I made a veggie loaded quiche to have for breakfast this week and it was even more delicious than I could have ever imagined! I mean, I only had two measly little cartons of egg whites (no real eggs in sight, I haven’t gone to the store yet since everyone […]
Happy Tuesday and welcome to December friends! That last week was way more fun and indulgent than I could have ever anticipated. We kicked off the week with a family dinner at Serranos (not recapped), Mama Shallal brought her wonderful pumpkin bread, we had Thanksgiving, Megans baby shower (recap coming soon), and our fire pit […]
In the past years we have done an Advent Jar, which we loved. However, we found ourselves digging back in the jar multiple times to find the things we could do because we didn't have time to get the one we drew done. So this year we decided to make a list and just cross […]
Hi Friends! I can't believe Thanksgiving is over, it went so fast! Thankfully we actually ended up cooking most of the food the night before because we didn't end up with much time after coming back from the Turkey Day 10K. Before the race I had a scoop of UCAN with aminos and a UCAN bar (Check […]
Hello! I can't wait to hear how everyone's Thanksgiving was! I'm just popping in to let you know I made it through my entire Turkey Day 10K, in fact, I actually did just about as well as I did two years ago before I was injured! I don't have a lot of pictures because I don't […]
Anyone else working today? I’ve got a shift at the gym and some things to take care of for Black Friday before I finally get to check out. Yesterday I worked 11 hours at the gym, even though I was tired, on the way home I was thinking about how many things I have to be […]
Hi Friends! Happy Monday! We actually had a pretty laid back weekend, I worked all day Saturday and then Sunday was spent with the fam. We did a ton, I mean a TON of shopping and we somewhat finalized our Thanksgiving menu. I can’t believe this is the third year we’ve hosted Thanksgiving! There are […]
Hi Friends! I'm so so so so excited to be back up and running with the Recipe ReDux Challenge, I've missed the monthly topics and seeing the creations by all my blog friends! Check out this months theme: "The holiday baking season is upon us. And this month we’re going way beyond grandma’s banana bread. From […]
Last week I tried something new…. egg whites in my oatmeal for protein instead of my usual protein powder. Protein is an essential part of breakfast, it helps stabilize blood sugar and keep you full but sometimes it can be a struggle to get it in. Some days there just isn't time for eggs and breakfast […]
