something to do
Lean mean leg workout + HIIT Blitz
Hi friends! How’s your week treating ya? We’re about to take Caro to the vet (she has a stomach thing going on), but in the meantime, how bout a little leg and cardio workout? I say “little” but watch out… it’s a doozy. To set up this workout, I used a suggested format from the…

Plan and prep: an hour of clean eats
In small breaks throughout my Sunday, I’ll usually take some time to plan out my eats for the week, make a grocery list, shop, and prep whatever I can in advance. I’ll take 10 minutes here or there to make some amazeballs or steam some eggs, but last night, I decided to see how much…

Spring back
I wouldn’t even be able to articulate the joy in my heart when I looked at my phone this morning and saw that it was 8:42. Almost 9am!!! I heard Liv stir on the baby monitor, came downstairs to let the dogs out, put her milk in the warmer, started the coffee maker, and saw…

Upper Body HIIT Blitz
Hi friends 🙂 Glad you all got a laugh from our fail of the week (year?). I’m still snickering about it. Monday was pretty good to us. Liv and I ran errands and shared a Jamba Juice, went to her baby gym class, the day ended in bubbles: and last night, I got the chance…

10 Things to Make Happen in March
1) Buy some fresh flowers. This is a tradition that I’ve managed to keep up since college and have always looked forward to picking up flowers for the week. Now Livi helps me pick out the bouquet and gives them a theatrical sniff before we place them in the Trader Joe’s basket. 2) Evaluate spring…

Sushi Saturday
We’re on a roll….. We’ve been on a huuuuuuge sushi kick lately. If we can’t decide where to go for dinner, sushi has become our default. We had a sitter last night, so the Pilot and I decided to hit up Ra, which is one of our favorite spots. Margaritas for both of us: (it…

Make it Happen March workout plan
Spring is in the aiiiirr… Along with it: picnics, hikes (without being chilly!), wine on the balcony, dresses… I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. I’m also excited for another month to start fresh, kill it in the gym and build on from my Winter Shape Up results- hope you feel the same way!…

Nice to matcha
Night and day! After the teething monster took away my baby for a day, the sweet girl is back to herself… smiling, laughing and singing the “merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily” part to my horrible “Row the boat” rendition. (When she says, “merrily!” it sounds a lot like “marry me”) We had an awesome Monday together.…

One man’s treasure
is another man’s trash? Not too much food or fitness to share this morning. I was feeling pretty run down last night -the teething monster strikes again and it’s a fierce bout- and instead of seeing the gym as a refresher, I knew I was too tired to get in a good workout, so I…

2/22: Friday Faves
-This week’s surprise snow. Snow-covered cacti: not something you see very often. -Caroline’s naptime acrobatics taken to an entirely different level. (I took that picture before she fell then proceeded to act like nothing happened.) -Mangoes! They’re not in our usual fruit rotation, but it’s always fun to switch it up and Liv loves them.…

Sneaks for me, sneaks for youuuuu
The stairs and I are not friends today. Spinning gets me EVERY time! So good. Since the Pilot was home yesterday, I was able to take a daytime class, so I went into work for 10 minutes of weights and 45-minute spin. My friend Katie taught, and her playlist was amazing. I especially love the…

Chicken Crust Pizza + WSU Giveaway 2
Yesterday, I was really in the mood for some pizza. Actually I’m not sure what it’s like to not be in the mood for pizza. The only dilemma: we had no crust ingredients, and Livi was snoozing peacefully upstairs. I thought of the ground organic chicken we had in the fridge: and decided to make it…
