Quick shrimp and quinoa stir fry

I took about 30 minutes yesterday to prep some goodies for the week: Ballz Steamed eggs and quinoa and dinner was one of those one-pot wonders where everything came together to make a delicious, quick and satisfying meal. I just threw some ingredients into the pot, said a silent prayer to the cooking gods, and…

8/26: Meals and Fitness for the week

Sweaty and triumphant. It wasn’t the practice 10k I had planned for, but considering I had some odds (aka excuses) working against me, I’m really happy about it. The Pilot said he’s wake up with Liv so I could go run, and when I woke up, it was 8:30. I figured since it was already…

Guac and rita

“Wow, that was a really bad meal at Guadalajara Grill.” -No one ever Liv and I met the Pilot at G Grill when he got off work this afternoon. We shared spicy table-made salsa and chips, had a date with our friend ‘Rita, and I enjoyed the Guac-o Tacos while he had the lobster-stuffed salmon.…

Friday, it’s good to see ya. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We’re wrapping up 2 weeks of night flying with the Pilot, which was after him being gone for 2 weeks, so I’m excited to hang out with him again on a regular basis. This week, he’s come home in the middle of…

Random goals + TABATA THURSDAY!

All I have for ya from yesterday are pictures of my dessert: (red wine and a “baked” apple with cinnamon- a little butter, cinnamon, chopped apple, microwaved for 2 minutes) and our Bollywood costume: a gorgeous printed skirt, jingle belt and an anklet. I got to teach Zumba, assist Hip Hop and assist Bollywood- it…

Rainy Day Workout

I can’t believe the Olympics are over! It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve really gotten into it -I’ve always loved the Olympics but am not usually home during the day, so I missed quite a bit of the last couple summer Olympics. Since I’ve been here playing with Liv, I’ve kept…

August 9: Tabata Thursday

Not much in the land of new healthy food ideas over here. I’ve been enjoying eggs aplenty and abusing the bag of steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s that I found in the fridge. Makes for some pretty unappetizing food photos ๐Ÿ˜‰ I do have a hot bar record for ya, though:ย  $5.99! Ka-boom. (My record…

Planes, things and reps

“Oh, I smell you’ve been cheating on me.” As soon as Bella finished running laps in excitement when I picked her up from madre’s yesterday, she stopped to smell the lab scent that covered me, belonging to Jeni’s dog, Whiskey, who I canoodled with all weekend. (Had to type out the full story because it…

The gym to my heart

We’ve had a blast in Vegas, but it’s time to say “see ya later”- we’ll be back very, very soon. Good times with great friends, (and fur friends) amaaaaaazing food (for the record, Yard House has ridiculous nachos) and only one trip to the strip for breakfast- I didn’t miss it at all. When the…

Thanks to a reader’s request, I’ve got some great tips to help you eat clean on-the-go below. One of those tips: Leftovers! I love leftovers for many reasons, mostly because 99% of the time I can throw them in a skillet, add a couple of eggs = breakfast. For dinner last night, I used this beautiful…
