The protein debate

Guess who grilled last night?! Actually no, not me. It was fun to pretend for a sec and โ€œcheck on thingsโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰ We did the usual routine: I prep, he grills. The Pilot is just so good at it, and you shouldnโ€™t mess with perfection, really. The star of the show was the veggies: salty…

Confessions of a Personal Trainer

1. I ate two brownies in my car before walking into the gym to check your food journal. 2. If you come to your appointment with your hair and makeup perfectly done, I make it my mission to have you sweat off the makeup and leave with crazy gym hair. 3. During my own workouts,…

Focus On: South Beach

It SNOWED in Tucson yesterday! My snowman dreams were crushed when it didnโ€™t stick, but still very exciting. Tucsonans donโ€™t know how to drive in the rain, let alone snow, so we played it safe and had a low key day over here. My only excursion: A ride on the spin bike ๐Ÿ™‚ Dinner was…

Sleep Feat

We had a major sleep victory over here two nights ago: Livi slept through the night! I thought my eyes were messing with me when I heard her start to cry to let us know she was awake, because SUNLIGHT was peeking through the blinds. Sun! Morning! I picked her up out of her bassinet,…

Luck of the Mexican

It was a glorious St. Patrickโ€™s Day and Saturday over here- hope yours was as well! <3 The morning started off on 4th Ave, which I havenโ€™t ventured over to in quite a while.

Pinch me

I own exactly one green shirt, and I wore it todayโ€ฆ not about to re-wear it tomorrow after what itโ€™s been through this afternoon ๐Ÿ˜‰ Green isnโ€™t a color I regularly purchase, and I feel like a St. Pattyโ€™s Day scrooge since itโ€™s one of my all-time favorite holidays. Give this girl a piece of…

3/16: Thoughts from the week

-We had some fun setting up the video monitor last night. After making faces at each other over the little camera, I was upstairs brushing my teeth and I get a text from Tom saying โ€œIโ€™m watching youโ€ I walked back in the bedroom to see the camera following me around the room! Creeptastic. -I…

Coffee surprise

Hey guys! I LOVED this morningโ€™s discussion about the Paleo diet. I had a feeling it might be controversial because it seems to be a love it or hate it kinda thing, but way to be respectful of each other while voicing your opinions. Youโ€™re a classy bunch, so I wouldnโ€™t expect anything less ๐Ÿ˜‰…

Focus On: The Paleolithic Diet

Letโ€™s get all caveman up in hereโ€ฆ. Source and talk a little bit about the Paleo style of eating. Itโ€™s gained a lot of popularity over the last few years and is huge among Crossfit devotees. When I first heard about it while we were living in Valdosta, GA, I diverted my attention as soon…
