April Week 1 workout plan
Hi friends! I’ve loved reading about your April plans. I’m also loving all of the blog April Fool’s jokes… Young House Love FTW – I’m still snickering about it. What’s on the agenda for fitness this month? I have something fun coming up that I’ll announce later this week, but in the meantime, here’s a…

10 ways to make April Amazing
If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, then you know I haven’t had much luck with April Fool’s jokes… I’m not the best at “real” jokes for that matter. Sure, I can think of witty things every now and again, but jokes that are carefully crafted with a brilliant punchline: page the fail…

Easter eve
Our Friday was the perfect mix of productivity and fun, finished off by an amazing family dinner, a date night with the Pilot, and a visit with this little queen. [Viesa!! It was so good to see her furry face.]

Wild cat + BSC giveaway
As you can probably imagine (or if you live here, you know!) in Arizona, we have some pretty interesting creatures. My favorite are the javelinas, my least favorite are the coyotes (sorry coyotes, but no love for you when you attack my family’s dog) cougars, snakes, scorpions, road runners to name a few… and feral cats.…

Hello, Matzo
[I’ll either be doing the Wildcat victory dance or playing the sad trombone later today, so figured I’d post this now!] Some random photos from this week: Appetizers for Liv and myself (cereal and almond milk) Caro, ever so proficient in the art of relaxation work snacks (a lovely salad with leftover turkey…

Healthy Easter (without eating like a rabbit)
It’s always a nice surprise when I can hit up a yoga class. Usually, I’ll just do a few poses at home if I get a chance, but it’s a treat to be able to take a class at a live studio. I hit up the $4 hot class with some friends and it was…

Taking a hike + NEW Stretch Playlist
Sometimes it just feels good to get outside. More night flights for the Pilot, and Liv was hit with a bug plus the teething monster. One morning, after spending 4 hours snuggling and trying to comfort the inconsolable, the Pilot woke up, came downstairs, and I asked him if he’d watch Livi while I took…

PRO meal: Greek chopped salad – A Produce and Protein Packed Meal
So far, this week has been a definite change-up from last week’s vacation and restaurant extravaganza. We’ve had three nights of at-home dinners and I prepped some food for the week, including my current favorite bread amazeballs a couple of leftover turkey burgers, courtesy of the Pilot’s mad grilling skills and chopped veggies for salads.…

2,4,6,8,10 Workout
One of my favorite ways to switch up a usual weights routine is to play with reps; often pyramid-style workouts. It makes the workout fly by, and something about getting to the last round feels so triumphant. Here’s something fun I recently tried. “Fun.” As Tina says: “It doesn’t have to be ‘fun’ to be…

Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake Recipe
This gluten-free angel food cake is an excellent substitute for the original kind. Fluffy, light gluten-free angel food cake is perfect with coffee and would be excellent with some summer berries for dessert!

What to Eat Before and After a Workout
The biggest conundrum about teaching multiple classes in a row: you want to and need to eat, but there’s no feeling like Zumba body-pumping with a food baby. It’s frightening, really. Trying to figure out pre- and post-workout fuel was something that took a while; learning how to best fuel my body is also something…
