Hail HIIT, the Cardio King
One of the lectures I was most excited about attending at Fit Fest was the HIIT vs. Continuous Cardio lecture. I’m a HUGE fan of HIIT and even more now- I don’t have time to stroll along on the elliptical while tweeting and reading Us Weekly (and don’t really miss it). Workouts for me are…

First time at CrossFit
Hi! Thank you again to Garmin for the fantastic giveaway opportunity and to all of you for the wonderful entries. So many of them touched my heart, and a few brought me to tears. You all have amazing stories to tell, and I was so inspired to read of your reasons to be active. Even on my toughest…
Read More →Reader’s request: Save the Gym Hair!
This post has been a long time coming. I usually get an idea for a post, make it happen and write it up. Since I haven’t been working out during the day, there hasn’t been much point in saving my post-workout hair lately 😉 When I’m teaching at work, we need to look presentable, so…

Reader’s Request: Eat Clean On-the-Go
Thanks to a reader’s request, I’ve got some great tips to help you eat clean on-the-go below. One of those tips: Leftovers! I love leftovers for many reasons, mostly because 99% of the time I can throw them in a skillet, add a couple of eggs = breakfast. For dinner last night, I used this beautiful…

So whenever I post pics of food on the blog, I’ll leave it pretty plain so you can tell what it is: and then usually THIS will happen. Hot sauce, cayenne pepper and/or red chili flakes – mama likes it spicy. I have a huge jar of red pepper flakes in the car, a…

Hi friends 🙂 It’s almost the weekend! I’m so glad you liked the back workout– let me know if you give it a try! Since the Pilot and I are both (still) feeling a little under the weather –please be allergies- we had someone else do the cooking last night. Soup and salad FTW Treat…

Options for newbies
Bella says “good morning!” – she seems to be the only one with extra spunk today. We’ve been waiting until late morning to come downstairs and start the day. As good as it feels, I think by next week when the Pilot goes back to work I’ll be ready to get going a little earlier.…

“Om” at home
Someone was up sick all night last night :/ After her canoodle sesh with the Pilot, we all went to bed and she woke up throughout the night. The Pilot took care of her since it’s hard for me to get in and out of bed right now, and this morning she’s walking around…

A different tree
Today was spent running errands and taking down Christmas. I’m usually so bummed to take down our decorations because usually I have no idea where or when I’ll see them again, so it’s pretty amazing that we’ll still be here next year. It wasn’t quite as sad 😉 So it went from this: back to…

Finding a gym buddy
Our Pilot-grilled dinner was a success, as usual. He’s kind of a ninja like that. He enjoyed a steak with bleu cheese, and my “meat” was a portobello mushroom, topped with mixed greens, balsamic vinaigrette, and lots of goat cheese. We shared a Super Spinach salad from TJs and perfectly grilled asparagus with sea…

‘Tis the season for cookie overload shopping ‘til you drop holiday parties (Dick van Dyke!) cards (we got 4 today and I realized that we’re slackers) and my favorite part: spending time with family and friends. Sometimes this includes traveling to be with those you love, or entertaining out-of-town company. One of the things…

It’s almost the weekend… and another day closer to being in San Diego, breathing in the ocean smells. I can’t wait 🙂 Lots of breakfast and random foods have been happening over here this week, because a favorite guy of mine had a flight upgrade. So this means open-faced sandwiches [Black rice bread, heated organic…
