Dr. Seuss Hair

Iโ€™ve always thought the Pilot and I make a pretty good team, but itโ€™s even more apparent now with a little one in the house. We donโ€™t have to ask or say anything -we just  help each other out. He stays home with Livi on Saturday while I go to work, Iโ€™ll get to seeโ€ฆ

The secret ingredient isโ€ฆ.

Chillinโ€™ at home for lunch break, eating a chicken burger the Pilot made me (on toast with kale, mustard and ketchup) going over choreography and chiseling away at an eegee nana left in the freezer for us. (thank you, friend!) Iโ€™ve had a great morning teaching, and Liv and the Pilot have had quite aโ€ฆ

Nice things

-My friend Katie saving me at work yesterday. When I first started (a little over a year ago), I quickly learned that since our schedules change throughout the day, we need to be prepared for anything. Weight room, teaching, Zumba and pool all have different outfits/shoes. Well, I *thought* pool was my last class yesterday,โ€ฆ

Breaking up

This post is dedicated to the existence of the slow cooker. Without you, weโ€™d get takeout a lot more often. Leaving for work this morning was a little on the hectic side. I ended up getting my first class covered so we could take Liv to the pediatrician -her eye was looking a little funkyโ€ฆ

Rise and shine

Can you believe that Iโ€™ve actually started to not mind waking up early in the morning? (Note: I didnโ€™t say โ€œI likeโ€ it, but for me to go from utter loathing to not minding is a huge deal haha.) Itโ€™s so much easier to be productive and plan out the day, and by the timeโ€ฆ

Playlist panic

(a morning hummingbird!) Crazy things happen at work. Hilarious things are said in the locker room -my friend Michele said the highlight of her day is cracking me up, which happens often- schedules change (we have a set schedule but could end up teaching anything at a secondโ€™s notice. Iโ€™ve gone in before and foundโ€ฆ

Tempeh Taco Lettuce Wraps

Doing the same thing all the time can get a little boring, even if itโ€™s something you like. Take tempeh, for instance. Tempeh-as-bacon is my usual favorite way to enjoy it, but I was looking for a new way to prepare it.  The result? Tempeh tacos! Not just any tacosโ€“lettuce wrap tacos! Does that makeโ€ฆ

Sock lopsided

Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While youโ€™re teaching multiple fitness classes, itโ€™s hard to forget that youโ€™re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didnโ€™t feel very good. This did, though ๐Ÿ˜‰ (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) Andโ€ฆ

Whatโ€™s cookinโ€™?

2 hour kitchen blitz: Greek-style quinoa salad (lentils instead of chickpeas) stuffed chicken (the same I made for the last baby meal) and my favorite chocolate chip cookies, which ended up looking like pancakes. Still taste good, though ๐Ÿ˜‰ Iโ€™ve had a few kitchen fails lately, including the brownies โ€ฆ I guess itโ€™s bound toโ€ฆ

Just one more thing

Girls night! The Pilot had a roll call (aka an official meeting among pilots that involves lots of Jeremiah Weed whisky), so Marisa and Michele (and Levi!) came over last night to hang out. I didnโ€™t take a ton of pics, but it was so much fun to share some vino, get takeout from Reneeโ€™sโ€ฆ

Busybody

Like many of you, Iโ€™m a little bit of a busybody. I always like to be doing something, and when I get some down time, Iโ€™ll likely spend it multi-tasking. At our work meeting yesterday, our boss said that itโ€™s why weโ€™re fitness instructors- we have a crazy thing with our brain that wonโ€™t letโ€ฆ

10 ways to plank

Planks are one of my all-time favorite core exercises. Source (It looks like Vies!) As Iโ€™ve mentioned before, one of the tricks Iโ€™ve learned is that the maximum amount of time you should hold a plank is 10 seconds, because after that you start to engage and depend on other muscles to keep you upโ€ฆ
