12/22: Meals and Fitness for the week

I continue to be awestruck at how things have come full circle. Like the fact that I was walking around Winterhaven (aka riding the trolley) last year, with a giant pregnant belly: and found myself a year later, in the same spot, with the baby we so badly wanted to meet. I thought I’d eventually…

Pilot under the weather

Hi 🙂 Apologies for all of the blog issues yesterday and to those of you who were getting an error message with the comments. Hopefully things are back to normal- guess this post will let me know, eh? Along with the blog being under the weather, so is the man of the house. I roasted…

A day to dine-out

Hi friends <3 I loved reading your responses on this morning’s post! I had no idea so many went commando at the gym, but totally understand- the liners are there for a reason, eh? After a few responses, just wanted to clarify that I couldn’t give a flying you-know about other peopler’s panty lines. You…

Gym Underthings

Ooooh la la…. One of the frequently-asked questions when I post workout pics or a video: How do you avoid panty lines? So the secret, friends, is the picture above! Feel free to sing that Sisqo song, even though I was, like, 5 when that came out.  The answer is thong underwear. If you’re not…

December Picnic

Still trying to get in my workouts during the day in hopes of relaxing with the Pilot at night. When Liv woke up from her first nap this morning, I figured by the time we left the house, I’d be able to get in a 30-minute workout before the gym’s childcare closed. Back in the…

Gina: Hair inspiration

It’s been a few months, so I booked an appointment with the madre to get my hair did this afternoon. (last year, I got a tiny tinsel strand) I always tell myself I’m going to do something exciting and different, and then when I’m finally in the chair, I stick with a trim. I walk…

3-Minute Skinny Peppermint Mocha

Starbucks! They know me! Source I tend to stay away for the most part during the warmer months.. (which, let’s be real, is 97% of the time in Tucson.) I can make my own coffee at home, and save for the occasional iced green tea lemonade, it’s rare that I’ll hit up the SB drive…

Deck the halls with fear and bells

Today’s big adventure involved putting a very cute little red dress on an even cuter little girl to get her Santa picture. I felt awful, as she’s not a huge fan of the man in red, and she was so happy leading up to the event itself. My mom and nana met us at the…
