12/22: Meals and Fitness for the week
I continue to be awestruck at how things have come full circle. Like the fact that I was walking around Winterhaven (aka riding the trolley) last year, with a giant pregnant belly: and found myself a year later, in the same spot, with the baby we so badly wanted to meet. I thought I’d eventually…

A day to dine-out
Hi friends <3 I loved reading your responses on this morning’s post! I had no idea so many went commando at the gym, but totally understand- the liners are there for a reason, eh? After a few responses, just wanted to clarify that I couldn’t give a flying you-know about other peopler’s panty lines. You…

Gym Underthings
Ooooh la la…. One of the frequently-asked questions when I post workout pics or a video: How do you avoid panty lines? So the secret, friends, is the picture above! Feel free to sing that Sisqo song, even though I was, like, 5 when that came out. The answer is thong underwear. If you’re not…

3-Minute Skinny Peppermint Mocha
Starbucks! They know me! Source I tend to stay away for the most part during the warmer months.. (which, let’s be real, is 97% of the time in Tucson.) I can make my own coffee at home, and save for the occasional iced green tea lemonade, it’s rare that I’ll hit up the SB drive…

Deck the halls with fear and bells
Today’s big adventure involved putting a very cute little red dress on an even cuter little girl to get her Santa picture. I felt awful, as she’s not a huge fan of the man in red, and she was so happy leading up to the event itself. My mom and nana met us at the…

Fitness stocking stuffers
Hi, fellow shopping elves 🙂 I can’t believe that with the exception of a few last-minute things (and wrapping, which is always a party), we are DOOOOOONE. I’m excited to just enjoy Christmas Eve day, since I won’t be fighting people at the mall. Rejoice. I thought I’d put together a list of stocking stuffers…

20 workouts, 20 minutes or less
Hi friends 🙂 Happy Friday! No post last night. Oliv has been teething this week, and writing something in my zombie state would not do this blog any favors 😉 I’m so happy to hear you liked the Caroline and Bella video. They’ve become fast friends: chasing each other, taking naps together and even sharing…

3-ingredient combos
I’m caretaker of the house today <3 There’s always little lovebug and the pups, but the Pilot had surgery this morning. He’s doing great and is just laying low- it’s been a nice treat to have him home on a Monday, even though he’s resting and recovering. I wasn’t feelin’ anything heavy for dinner, so…

12/10: Meals and fitness for the week + holiday workout songs
Considering how bad I felt after my last half, my legs are feeling pretty good(ish) today. We’ll talk tomorrow, though: the official test of post-race soreness. Thank you so much for all of your awesome comments on the race. It feels good to know that I put myself out there, and while I didn’t run…

12/7: Where’s my race face? Friday Faves
I’ve been debating back and forth about my half marathon. If I do it, I want to DO it. I’m not sure I have it in me right now. We haven’t been sleeping well lately -Liv’s been sleeping great, but the Pilot and I have been going to sleep past midnight every night, which is…

healthy holiday potluck ideas
‘Tis the season: to deck the halls, spend time with those you love, don your ugliest Christmas sweater, (my own Dick van Dyke!) shop it up and enjoy festive feasts 🙂 I’m not sure about you, but our schedule is jam-packed until after New Year’s with holiday events! Many of them: bring a side dish…
