Winter Shape Up 2013: Week 3 Fuel

I can’t believe we’re already heading into week 3 of Winter Shape Up! How are you feeling so far? I hope you’ve noticed a huge increase in energy, boost in your desire to continue eating clean, healthy foods and maybe some physical results already, too 🙂 Please keep track of your progress and experience for…

1/20: Meals and fitness for the week

Happy Sunday! After an insane week, in a house full of sickies, the contrast of a particularly glorious weekend has been delightful. Lots of time spent with my little sidekick, whose hair is officially long for pigtails (can we just take a moment? I can’t even handle it) and goes crazy for green juice. The girl…

1/13: Meals and fitness for the week

I feel halfway motivated to plan and prep for this week. The cloudy and cold make me want to curl up with a blanket and pray for food to magically appear, but at the same time, memories of last week’s killer Paleo bread make me realize it’s worth it to have some snacks and food…

1/6: Meals and Fitness for the week

Hi friends 🙂 Sorry for the blog silence yesterday! The only thing I had to write about was my legendary headache. I even took a few Tylenol, which is a testament to how bad it was.. usually I’ll just deal with it. When I got home for the day, some snuggles and giggles made it…

12/30: Meals and Fitness for the Week

Is anyone else excited to get back in the swing of things this week? I’ve been on sugar overload since Halloween and am ready to get more fruits and veggies in my life. It’s not to say sugar won’t sneak its way in there (it will), but there were quite a few days over the…

12/22: Meals and Fitness for the week

I continue to be awestruck at how things have come full circle. Like the fact that I was walking around Winterhaven (aka riding the trolley) last year, with a giant pregnant belly: and found myself a year later, in the same spot, with the baby we so badly wanted to meet. I thought I’d eventually…

12/2: Meals and Fitness for the week

Since I’ve been doing distance runs once a week for half marathon training, every Sunday I wonder if my body will “know” how to run. Like, I’ll remember last week’s 10-miler (about half pushing the jogging stroller) and think to myself: there is no way I can run 10 miles. I just did it! Does…

Seasonal delights

I’m working (eating through) another What I Ate Wednesday post, but in the meantime, I had to share two of my recent Trader Joe’s finds: the tea is an old favorite (I buy an insane amount when they’re about to get rid of it for the rest of the year) and a new love. As easy…

11/25: Meals and Fitness for the week

Is anyone else ready to eat a vegetable after last week’s holiday pie-stravaganza? I definitely am. At the same time, I still keep going back to the pie trifecta to steal the innards. Did you know pecan pie is the least healthy option when it comes to pie innards? It’s also the most delicious…. This…

Spirit of flubs

Oh friends. In the spirit of starting off the day talking about flubs, the pattern just continued from there. I dropped a glass plate while Liv was napping -which, shockingly didn’t shatter but managed to clank and bounce all over the kitchen floor before my butterfingers could grab it- and then later this morning, we…

11/18: Meals and Fitness for the week

Last night, I decided to take the new kicks out for a spin. I think it’s because I got my Zumba class covered yesterday- all of this Saturday energy was bottled up 😉 Wednesday’s class was fun enough to last for two, though. My fave moment? A guest came up to me afterwards and told…

11/4: Meals and Fitness

After a pretty full day at work, and being out and about quite a bit lately, I told the Pilot it would be nice to stay home last night. We hung out just the three of us, grilled chicken and veggies for dinner, and crashed early- it was perfect. Apparently my iPhone didn’t get the…
