“Baby, it’s cold outside” workout
I don’t think Bell has a problem with her sporadic walking schedule since the weather has changed. We still play around the house to get the crazies out: she’s a fetch pro yesterday, we chased around the yard (she went into full on sprint mode! see the dirty paws?) and today, we snuggled on the…
Read More →Focus On: Stability Balls
We’ve already talked about medicine balls and resistance bands, so today I thought it would be fun to focus on another gym staple: stability balls. They look so nice and innocent, huh? Not only are they inexpensive and easy to find, but you can get in a killer total-body workout, particularly challenging your core, using…

Last night when the Pilot got home from work, I had showered and was wearing real, non-workout clothes (a feat when you’re fighting fatigue) and tonight, dinner was ready and waiting. I’m on a roll, friends 😉 The Pilot LOVES pulled pork, but it’s one of those things that I don’t think to make until…

and feeling… good. (Random: the Pilot recently found a video on his old computer of my friend and I doing our pointe dance to that song. It was one of my faves) Is there some kind of pre-labor euphoria that hits? If so, maybe that’s what’s going on. Even though my hips still hurt like…

“Oh month, diviiiiiiiiiiine” <— slightly off-key (it’s the morning), but you get the idea August was awesome, September was stellar, October was outstanding, November was a knock-out and now we’re rounding out the year, which always has a fresh and magical feel to it. It also has a deathly cold feel to it- we had…

I think the Pilot loves being in Tucson as much as I do. After he got off work, he stopped by my mom’s house to say hi, and she was cooking a feast. Baked gnocchi with vodka sauce and cheese homemade meatballs cheesy bread and a Bundt cake. You know, Monday night fare 😉 He…

Today’s workout was brought to you by the letter “O.” Thank you Oprah, for entertaining me as I walked around the indoor base track for an hour. The looks I’ve been getting at the base gym during my workouts have recently changed from “wow, I’m kind of impressed that girl is doing push-ups on a…

Guys can be pretty tricky to shop for. They never seem to tell you what they want, or if they really want something, they’ll just go out and buy it. Punks! Hopefully this little gift guide will help make shopping a little easier: For the Fitnessist-o 😉 1) Pacific Run Jacket 2) Insanity Asylum 3)…

TV Philosophy
I’m not a huge TV person. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my Kardashians and Project Runway, but besides having the television on CNN most of the day, I don’t actively watch it very often. We always agreed not to have a TV in our bedroom –it disturbs the peaceful vibe and a distraction from..…

Sleeping in on Sunday is one of the best things ever. Sleeping in with the sound of rain….. even better. A French toast breakfast? The icing on the cake. I LOVE this French toast recipe. Every time I make it, I tell myself to make it more often. Super easy, and I love that it…

I’m not usually an impulse buyer. I buy things on super sale, and the more expensive investments, I’ll ponder and research for a little while before making the splurge. Huge purchases (like electronics) give me anxiety. Boots usually don’t. Those, however, were an impulse buy. I really wanted a pair of heel booties to wear…
