11/25: Meals and Fitness for the week
Is anyone else ready to eat a vegetable after last week’s holiday pie-stravaganza? I definitely am. At the same time, I still keep going back to the pie trifecta to steal the innards. Did you know pecan pie is the least healthy option when it comes to pie innards? It’s also the most delicious…. This…

My kinda turkey trot
Hi friends- hope you’re enjoyed the weekend so far and had a safe, healthy holiday! It was a great Thanksgiving. (Hands in the air if you agree pies should be sold like that haha) Wednesday night, I decided to go to a Zumbathon “Turkey Trot” at the park. I always love to check out other…

Fitness Instructor Flubs
Hi friends! Thank you so much for the fantastic Camelbak cleaning ideas. I rinsed it with a little vinegar and water, whipped the tube around in a circle to get the water out and it’s hanging to dry. It’s hoping it stays funk-free. I’m also happy to hear you liked the recipe round-up! As much…

Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up
Even with all of the Thanksgiving recipe round up posts I’ve read recently, I’m not tired of them yet. It’s always fun to get new ideas for holiday dishes and parties. There’s so much variety out there, and I think it’s fortunate to have so many diverse eating styles, cooking methods and techniques available on…

Monday Rundays
I was so excited to write this post saying that I conquered my 10-miler this morning. Alas, was not the case. (I’m pretty convinced that 10 miles = my distance nemesis) I didn’t get home too late last night -had a blast with the girls, though- and was going to wake up super early to…

11/18: Meals and Fitness for the week
Last night, I decided to take the new kicks out for a spin. I think it’s because I got my Zumba class covered yesterday- all of this Saturday energy was bottled up 😉 Wednesday’s class was fun enough to last for two, though. My fave moment? A guest came up to me afterwards and told…

The other side
After years of my devotion to Asics, I crossed to the other side. Also after a little too many years, I got my stride checked out again and picked up some new kicks. My current Asics are toast, so new cushion feels sooooo nice. The real test will be tomorrow’s long run- here’s hoping that…

Slumps and Faves
I was in a little bit of a slump yesterday. I loved hanging out with my little sidekick after work but after she went to sleep, I had a decent amount of time to be productive before bed. I just wasn’t feelin’ it. So instead, I painted my nails and watched Glee, which ended up being…

Healthy Chocolate Sauce
Things have been very savory on ye ol’ blog lately. I can’t even remember the last time I posted a sweet recipe! Please accept this as a token of apology. I was thinking about a chocolate sundae ALL morning yesterday. Usually after teaching Zumba, my thought process looks something like the following: -That was SOOOOOO…

Cranberry Quinoa “Stuffing”
Why must turkey be the official Thanksgiving mascot? It makes me sad because I know so much work goes into preparing an entire turkey, but to me, the meal could do without it. This is also coming from the girl who prefers deli meat over roasted. *Hides head in shame* We were at Eclectic Cafe…

Intimidating Fitness Moves
Ok, so have you ever wanted to try a training plan, saw a certain move and thought: ehhhhh, I think I’m gonna go ahead and skip that? That was an initial hurdle for me when I first started to get into fitness and weight training. I checked out a few plans online, was pretty stoked…

Mini Goat Cheese Chili Relleno Casseroles
Hi 🙂 Catching up from the long weekend? I ran my first postpartum half marathon. I’m wicked sore, but am happy to be back in the game. Thank you again for all of the wonderful birthday wishes, too! Chili rellenos were never my favorite Mexican dish. If I was going to have Mexican, which was…
