What Fuels Ya

Hey guys! How’s your morning going?? I’m about to start mine with a yoga podcast, but thought I’d say hello first 😀 For dinner last night, I made a giant batch of my sweet potato black bean chili. It simmered in the slow cooker all afternoon, and while I was at work, I knew it…

Salmon or Chicken Finger

Heyyyyy! Happy Monday 😀 Hope your morning is going well. We met up with some friends for dinner at Longhorn and a movie last night. I still snicker at the fact that my third favorite restaurant here –Indian is first and 306 North is second- has fake cow’s heads on the walls :/ The usual…

A New Beast

Hey everyone! How’s your Sunday going? Mine has been pretty glorious. I can enjoy the sun a little bit more when I don’t have to run in it 😉 The pilot and I slept in, and when we woke up, I was hankering for some oat bran. I made a hefty bowl with 1/3 C…

Treacherous Twelve

Yesterday, I prayed for sun for our long 12-miler. Sun came: And kicked me in the face. It was one of the most challenging, draining, thought-I-wouldn’t-make-it runs in a long time. To rewind a little, I started the day with some chia pudding since chia helps joint lubrication—I figured it would help my knees a…

The Face of Temptation

If this isn’t tempting, I don’t know what is…. Macaroon dough. I always, always save myself a little at the bottom of the bowl, but today I didn’t have any due to my Lenten thang. 100% willpower, beebs. It wasn’t easy though…. I may have had two mugs full of brown rice cereal to distract…

Tamater of my dreams + giveaway

Hey everyone! Hope your humpday is treating you well 😀 For dinner last night, I broke out this treasured heirloom tomato. I got it a Whole Foods on Sunday because it was so beautiful, and decided it was destined for some caprese before our dinner last night. I sliced it up and topped with sea…

Reader’s Request: Hair Schtuff

Hi guys 😀 Hope your morning is going well! From the Ask Me Anything page, I was surprised to see that mixed in with all of the baby questions (which I’ll answer in a near future post), height/weight/size questions (which I probably won’t answer, because that information won’t help anyone..they’re just silly numbers), and the…

See ya later, sweets

Hey hey hey 😀 How’s your evening going? I loved reading about your Lent ideas and spring challenges- keep ‘em coming 😀 It’s funny because usually I’d be living up Fat Tuesday in full splendor, but after my Valentine’s feast, I don’t feel a need to. I think I’ll be satisfied on the sweet front…
