something to do
The leaf + Schweaty August Workout
After breakfast, I love to read to Liv in the morning. It had been a while since I’d read the hungry caterpillar and I thought it was pretty funny that after gorging himself with treats, Source all he wanted was a nice big leaf- that made him feel much better. It’s funny that they teach…

That’s a spicy ‘rita
Another amazing date night with that one good-looking guy I snagged over at Starbucks. We dined at Acacia, which is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots. They have a great mix of the things we love, fantastic drinks, and locally-sourced organic produce and meat, which is a bonus. Since our last Acacia dinner, I’ve…

-A killer interval workout with Meggie We went for a little run, did some BodyRock-esque intervals (50 seconds on, 10 seconds rest) of single leg jump squat,, jump forward and back burpees, core domination, side lunges, repeat 3 times, and then some upper arm strength training. The end. -Hopefully today will be my last day…

Good to see ya again
Breakfast was the return of an old fave: Quinoa bowl! Since I usually make a giant batch of quinoa and lentils for the week, I figured I’d leave the quinoa plain since it would be more versatile that way, and didn’t season it so we could do sweet or savory versions. I picked up a…

I’m usually pretty good about looking for the bright side of things, but as far as my glasses go, I’ve been a bit of a complainer. I’m going on 48 hours of a headache, my eyes hurt from squinting and I miss my peripheral vision. The only good things to come out of it: I’m…

July 12: Tabata Thursday
Last night was one of those nights where I felt like we had nothing in the fridge to make for dinner. In reality, we had plenty of things to make, but I was hoping to open the fridge and a plate of food would appear. Instead, it was a quick Italian stir fry that took…

Congrats to the Summer Shape Up team for rocking out another amazing week- you’re halfway there! I hope you’re already seeing results from your hard work, and thank you again to…

A different kind of cooking
While I made the chickpea patties last night, I also ventured into a new-to-me kinda cooking. Baby food! How cute are these little baby bullet containers?! (Peas, carrots and green beans) We’ve been experimenting with babyled weaning so far – the baby is given large pieces of the same food you’re eating. The only obstacles…

Hi 🙂 Thank you so much for all of the amazing enthusiasm for this year’s Summer Shape Up! (Fashionably late to the party? Check out the intro post if you’d like to join in!) So many of you have done the first workout already and I’m glad to hear it was as challenging and fun…
Read More →Sock lopsided
Today was a great day, but I think the fact that I forgot a sock gave it a strange feel. While you’re teaching multiple fitness classes, it’s hard to forget that you’re only wearing one sock with your shoes. Didn’t feel very good. This did, though 😉 (coming home to snuggle my favorite girl) And…

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 didn’t take a ton of pics, but it was so much fun to share some vino, get takeout from Renee’s…
Read More →Busybody
Like many of you, I’m a little bit of a busybody. I always like to be doing something, and when I get some down time, I’ll likely spend it multi-tasking. At our work meeting yesterday, our boss said that it’s why we’re fitness instructors- we have a crazy thing with our brain that won’t let…
