Spicy Shredded Chicken with Almond Butter Sauce
I’ve strayed away from my almond-butter-obsessed ways. Its replacement: Sunbutter. It all started when I realized that Liv wanted to eat everything I was eating, and I waited a while before introducing almonds to her. (Sunflower seeds are not a highly allergenic food.) It didn’t seem fair to be shoveling almond butter in my face…

Core and balance
Last night was just noodle and myself since the Pilot was working. We went swimming after nap, came home for an awesome dinner, and then did the bath/bedtime rituals. After she was snuggled in bed, I decided to get in a little core and balance workout. I’m guilty of skimping on these two fitness components,…

Avocado mint chocolate chip ice cream
Hiii! Thank you so much for the wonderful anniversary wishes! <3 I was so excited to tell you about my run this morning. That is, until said run happened. Or didn’t happen, rather. I finally got new sneaks yesterday (Pearl Izumi) and took them for a 6-miler test run. My heel started throbbing after mile…

anniversary <3
Yesterday was our anniversary. It’s hard to believe that 6 years ago, totally unfamiliar with the military lifestyle, I was entering into a new life filled with so much uncertainty. Where would we live? Would I be able to find work? What about deployments? Would it be hard to make new friends everywhere we went?…

8/18: Meals and fitness for the week
Hi friends 🙂 How has your weekend been? Ours has been great but, as weekends tend to be, over way too quickly. (Source) Yesterday marked the end of my “week sans sugar” cleanse. I was starting to get too dependent on sugary treats, especially in between teaching classes, so I decided to cut them out…

8/16: Friday faves
-The hour in the morning before it’s scorching hot. It’s perfect time to have a cup of coffee, write a blog post or check emails before noodle wakes up. I always love to sit on the patio, even more now that we have the hammock chair. I’m obsessed. -Walking around on University. I had a…

Hey manchego
We finally bit the bullet and ordered one of those cool hanging hammock chairs from Rue LaLa. (My friend Julie got me hooked, and I may or may not check the app every morning when I wake up.) I want to live in the chair! When Liv is sleeping, I’ll make an iced rose tea…

Hitting the wall, fuel and belts
I LOVED taking Tony Horton’s classes this past weekend at IDEA. Not only is he full of awesome tricks and valuable info -I used a couple of his moves in my Tabata class this morning- but he’s also a jokester. He called us baby pterodactyls at one point, and even though we were all in…

Party at our place
This little Tuesday night tradition we have going on? Let’s keep it forever 😉 We wanted to have everyone over for dinner while the Pilot’s mom is here, so last night was pizza night at our house. I would have loved to make a *real* dinner, but we met up at Grant’s for an hour…

IDEA World Conference 2013: the expo and other fun stuff
Since I’ve already re-capped the sessions and “meat” of the IDEA conference, how about the rest of the fun stuff? (with Monica, Cassey and Julie) Namely, the Expo and hanging out with some awesome ladies 🙂 (from Reebok’s twitter!) I’m not sure I’d recommend IDEA for a first conference because basically anything after that is…

Around T-town
Hi friends 🙂 Hope you’re having a great morning! I’m still on my motivated high from the IDEA conference and even though it looked doubtful, I made this week’s longer run happen. My friend Monica set up a training plan for me, and when I saw 5 miles on the agenda for Sunday, I knew…
