something to talk about
The weekly bounty
It finally happened. I woke up early and got in a workout while everyone was still sleeping. For all of my new friends out there (hi!!), this is a huge accomplishment because: I hate the morning. I’ll embrace sweet, glorious slumber until the last possible second (which is usually when the tiny opera star lets…

Ways to be more active
Late-night trip to the Joe’s: I needed some things for the Pilot’s lunches, a bottle of wine for the wives’ coffee tonight, and most importantly, some of these: I had to eat eggs with a fork instead of pinched up into a tortilla yesterday and the day just wasn’t the same: Impulse buys were kept…

10/14: Meals and Fitness for the week
As this post goes up, I should be running 8 miles with my friend Rhina. We’re taking a new route, and I’m excited for a change of scenery while enjoying great conversation-running buddies make all the difference in the world. Thankfully, quite a few friends are runners and they’re all patient with slower runners like…

Friday Faves and Beasts
My favorite beast and I had a movie date last night. We watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and I’m not really sure the Pilot liked the “Hey girl…” lines we were quoting while enjoying a shirtless Ryan Gossling. Bella’s: “Hey girl, wanna play fetch?” The movie was pretty good. I was in the mood for something…

Farm to table
Hi friends- hope you’re all having a wonderful week so far. Thank you so much for your awesome feedback on the candy corn popcorn! It’s evilly delicious. Now, let’s just take things *a little* towards the opposite end of the spectrum; like this box of organic produce I ordered from Sunizona Farms. While the Pilot…

Candy Corn Popcorn
As soon as I mentioned doing a candy corn popcorn recipe for the blog, the Pilot was hooked. “Hey… so… um, when do you think you’ll be making that recipe?” “Which one?” “That one you mentioned the other day… it sounds really good.” I think he was hoping I’d make it while he was home…

Hail HIIT, the Cardio King
One of the lectures I was most excited about attending at Fit Fest was the HIIT vs. Continuous Cardio lecture. I’m a HUGE fan of HIIT and even more now- I don’t have time to stroll along on the elliptical while tweeting and reading Us Weekly (and don’t really miss it). Workouts for me are…

Finding Your Zen
On Saturday, after a long day of classes and lectures, I was craving a yoga class. I was in the neighborhood, I got out of my last session early, an decided to go for it. (Sadly, Ryan missed class that day) It had been a few weeks, and every time I take a chance to…

Margarita-run
The Pilot is off work today for the holiday and we were so excited to start the morning off with a family run at Sabino. But alas, the Bob has its first flat tire. Sad trombone. Instead, the Pilot offered to stay home with Liv while I went out for a little Sabino run. It…

Spooky Sweatfest Workout
Hi friends, here is the October cardiolicious, sculpting, sweaty Halloween workout. I hope you love it 🙂 Halloween Workout Form Cues *For any of these exercises, feel free to ditch the equipment and use dumbbells (or just your body weight for the push-ups and planks) instead. I originally designed it with a body bar, but…

9/30: Meals, fitness and wildcats
Happy Sunday! I wasn’t sure if this morning’s run was going to happen- we were up pretty late last night having a blast at the U of A game. Our friends had some extra tickets in the skybox, so when I got off work, I came home to get ready, feed lovebug dinner, (here she…
