Veteran’s Day Half Marathon Recap
First postpartum half marathon: done! It was a little bit of a last-minute decision to sign up, but I’m really glad that I went out there and did it. I have a goal winter half that I’ve been training for, and one of my friends suggested running the one this morning as a “practice” for…

11/10: Friday Faves
-Before I go into the following randomness, I have to say thank you so much for all of your incredible support with Sweets for Sandy. From spreading the word, to bidding, to my fellow blog friends who donated such wonderful items and everyone who cheered along the way. We raised a TON of money thanks…

Six Pack in a Sweater Ab Burner
I put the call out on Facebook for what new quickie workout you wanted and ab burner went for the victory! I’m hoping to get some HIIT and dance cardio goodies up soon, too. First, I have exciting news for you. A Walk Down Memory Lane Boys Meets World is gracing our TVs again with…

Dance cardio at home
Feeding giraffes, voting, and then back home for Liv’s nap. While Liv was snoozing, I decided it was chip thirty: (can we just take a moment of silence for the glory that is TJs quinoa chips? Try them. You will love them) and then I had a dance party. Normal Tuesday, right? I knew there…

Hurry for the curry
I ran 9 miles yesterday morning. It was awesome. And by awesome, I mean terrible. I just didn’t have my running mojo. It was a rough night of sleep -I always do that to myself when I know I have to wake up early- and when I got in the car, I realized I’d…

11/2: Friday Faves
I think the little humpday holiday made the weekend arrive so much faster. Chocolate and a quick weekend- hey, I can get on board with that. Anything fun going on over the next few days? Please let me know if you’d like a November workout calendar and I’ll have it up by Sunday morning (Sunday…

Namaste November
Halloween, you’ll always be one of my very favorite holidays. Any situation where I’m surrounded by chocolate is very happy, indeed, but wearing a costume and partying with friends and family is a bonus, too 😉 I had a blast hanging out with my hibachi chef and sushi roll: (It’s basically impossible to get Liv…

Healthy Halloween Treats
One of my favorite things about Halloween weekend is lurking Facebook for all of the costume and party pics. Some of my favorite costumes were from friends that live far away (like my college-days downstairs apartment neighbor who was Honey Boo Boo). With Liv, our weekend was pretty low key (even though we had a…

It’s a celebration
(lyrics to one of the songs that was on the “banned from the wedding” list along with “Electric Slide”) Indeed it was 🙂 When the Pilot got home from work, the entire family was here and dinner was hot and waiting. Madre grilled steaks, and I made twice-baked potatoes (with turkey bacon, chives, veggie broth…

Supporting themselves, or selling out?
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes for the Pilot <3 He’s been enjoying reading them throughout the day- I’m excited to celebrate when he’s home from work. (It was my first time doing streamers… using medical tape to hang them up. Don’t even ask. Liv got a kick out…

Spicy almond butter kale chips
Not really, but 8 was my limit for the day. I had all of the odds in my favor (beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, woke up on my own before the alarm went off), but it was a tough run. Sabino kills me every time, and I had to add an extra little loop at the…

Vegan stuffed pattypan squash
There are a lot of things I love about my husband. He takes such great care of Liv and myself (just when I thought I couldn’t be crazier about him, he became a daddy), works extremely hard, looks verrrrryyyy nice in a flight suit… and so many other things that I could go on and…
