something to talk about
Homemade Kombucha
Even though I made kombucha at 105degrees, it’s always freaked me out to make it at home. I pictured our house being overrun by scoby mushrooms, engulfed in a vinegar aroma. I also thought the Pilot thought it would be the final ticket to the “my wife is a little ‘out there’” town. But, guess…

4/14: April Week 3 Workout Plan
Is April really halfway over? I can’t believe that next month Kyle and Meg are getting married. The time flew by and I can’t wait to celebrate two people I love so much- it’s going to be a blast. Liv and I have been practicing her dance moves (get this: she can shake her shoulders),…

The quiet workout
Maybe I’m just drawn to the types of workouts that are more intense on the volume, but working out seems to be a pretty loud thing. Between the Zumba screaming, loud sighing/breathing in yoga and plyometric jumps, when I’m working out, you know. This is one of the huge reasons I haven’t been working out…

Mango-mojito sorbet
A bit of mint in this mango sorbet gives a flavor nod to my favorite mojitos. This mango mojito sorbet is the perfect refreshing treat for hot summer nights! It was funny to read a post about this on one of my favorite blogs, as it’s something that’s been on my mind lately. For a…

Cardio tips and tricks
Since my long run didn’t end up happening yesterday morning, I was determined to get in some mileage and hit up the dreadmill for a pm run sesh. Even though I do enjoy cardio alone -it’s a great time to zone out and blast my favorite music- I love taking and teaching classes even more.…

Dinner with the KERFs
I was so excited when Kath told me they’d be making a visit to Tucson. One of my favorite things about blogging is that I’ve made so many real-life friends through the blog world. Kath and I have been friends for a while -she was one of the first blogs I ever read!- and I’ve…

4/7: April Week 2 Workout Plan + Meal ideas
Moving a little slowly after yesterday’s adventures -I’ll do a recap post soon!- but my first half marathon long run is happening this morning. Anyone joining me? 🙂 I’m so happy to hear you liked last week’s format for the workout plan. I’ll keep doing it that way, and as always, let me know if…

Failure to plan
Holy Garmin entries! Keep ’em coming 🙂 So happy that you’re excited about the giveaway- it’s one of my favorite pieces of running gear. Yesterday, I went on my first official training run with Liv at Sabino Canyon. Nature is one of my favorite gyms, especially in this sweet spot of not-too-hoot-or-cold-just-right weather. We did…

My paper towel challenge
It officially feels like spring has sprung. We’ve been spending so much time outdoors, our flowers are miraculously still alive (!! It’s amazing what water and sunshine will do), and we’ve been hanging out with lots of great friends now that Liv is 100% better from the famous San Diego virus ick of 2013. Liv…

Healthy Easter (without eating like a rabbit)
It’s always a nice surprise when I can hit up a yoga class. Usually, I’ll just do a few poses at home if I get a chance, but it’s a treat to be able to take a class at a live studio. I hit up the $4 hot class with some friends and it was…

Taking a hike + NEW Stretch Playlist
Sometimes it just feels good to get outside. More night flights for the Pilot, and Liv was hit with a bug plus the teething monster. One morning, after spending 4 hours snuggling and trying to comfort the inconsolable, the Pilot woke up, came downstairs, and I asked him if he’d watch Livi while I took…

PRO meal: Greek chopped salad – A Produce and Protein Packed Meal
So far, this week has been a definite change-up from last week’s vacation and restaurant extravaganza. We’ve had three nights of at-home dinners and I prepped some food for the week, including my current favorite bread amazeballs a couple of leftover turkey burgers, courtesy of the Pilot’s mad grilling skills and chopped veggies for salads.…
