3 inches taller

Hope you’ve had an awesome Thursday! <3 Some things from the day: -A posture and balance workshop. We used small balls and tennis balls for stretch and balancing poses, and wow. I feel 3 inches taller and like a NOODLE. My favorite one was on our back, placing a small firm ball on the back…

Nudge Fry

Apparently I need to work on my stir fry skills. I guess you need to flip and stir with vigor? I just munched my kettle corn and pushed the veggies and chicken around in the pot (we don’t have a wok). The Pilot mentioned my “nudge fry” skills… but stopped teasing me when he ate…

Rainy Zumba

Woke up to a lovely surprise this morning…. That liquid stuff that falls from the sky. We don’t see too much of that over here 😉 As hard as it was to crawl out of bed, I LOVE going to work in the rain. I think it’s so cute seeing everyone walking around with their…

Took a walk on the wild side with dinner last night… Ok, not so much. Bella was excited, though! Every time she eats chicken, it’s like she’s enjoying it for the very first time. Here’s what happened when I tried to photograph her crazy chicken dance moves: She’s outta control 😉 So while dinner wasn’t…

Homemade Strawberry Sports Drink

Enjoy this homemade strawberry sports drink to hydrate before or after a workout. At a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, they have the best infusions…fresh fruit soaking in vodka, which tastes dangerously like candy. That’s all I can remember to tell you about those drinks. This strawberry infusion is a little bit healthier, and will help…

Rain on the workout parade

Rain on the windows, snow on the mountains a lovely, dreary Tucson day. It decided to jump down 30 degrees for a little wintery chill.. as long as it doesn’t stick around, I don’t mind 😉 Plus, we could use the rain… especially my cilantro that I haven’t watered in at least 4 months. It…

Fast food

Night weeks, I’m not a fan. Source I’ve never loved night weeks because I miss having the Pilot around- it just feels lonely over here. Liv and I have had fun hanging out at the house together or meeting up with friends, but we haven’t seen much of the man of the house for the…
