Booty burning Walking Workout + the runner’s dilemma
A few fitness tools that can be deceiving: -playground balls (they look nice and whimsical, but can make your thighs feel a fiery fury) -the Stairmaster (it’s easy scoff at the ‘master since you’re moving slowly, but it’s one of the most challenging cardio workouts for me) -kettlebells (before I really knew how to use…

Books, babies and bows.
Some of Livi’s favorite things 🙂 It was an amazing day to celebrate an amazing little girl. Lots of “Happy Birthday” singing in the morning, breakfast together and then after her first nap, we headed to the zoo. The weather was gorgeous and nana joined us for our adventure. We had a blast walking around-…

Dinner and a movie
Tonight, I did something I haven’t done in over a year: went to the movies! We’ve become huge fans of the red box and Netflix over the past year, and I’ve been fully convinced that if you put me in a dark theatre, I’d be asleep faster than you can say “narcoleptic.” But, I stayed…

Game faces + weekly fitness/meal plan
It was fun to see some familiar faces on ESPN.com this morning…. (Photo source) See Kyle, the Pilot and our friend in the Santa hat standing behind #3? Kyle looks like he’s singing an opera song, but apparently they were all upset because the ref didn’t call a foul right before a Florida player went…

10/28: Meals and Fitness for the week
Spent our Saturday night with Harry Potter. NBD. (Random: does anyone say “Harry Potter” in a high-pitched voice with a British accent? Me too) When I got home from work, the Pilot had so kindly made dinner for the family: (he called Renee’s Organic Oven and went to pick it up. Their gluten-free slice and…

What I’ve learned in 4 years
The other night, I was signing into my WordPress account and said to the Pilot: “I’ve written almost 3,000 posts.” 4 years. It’s like I’ve gone through undergrad all over again writing this little blog, and on the many pages, you’ll find stories about things that have happened in the past four years. Deployments, moving,…

The smell of [tempeh] bacon in the morning…
Friday!! So happy to see ya. Anything fun planned this weekend? We’re going to watch my little bro play football tonight- it’s been a year since I’ve seen him play and I’m excited to cheer with the fam. Not as excited for the awkward high school flashbacks haha. This morning, I decided to use some…
Read More →10 Ways to Make August Amazing + Calendar Info
I love August. It’s still dang hot here, but it’s the month I married my husband, so it always brings lots of warm fuzzies and happy memories. Last year, I started doing these “10 Ways…” posts, took a break for Winter Shape Up, did the same for Summer Shape Up (which was my favorite one…

1) This was written in the locker room yesterday, and we laughed so hard. I had rushed to work and forgot to grab morning snacks (rookie mistake), so was planning on going home at 12 to get some food. After being threatened with death, I stayed for dance rehearsal and then came home to stuff…

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock, because I had no clue what the funny balls were at BTO last night. “What is that?!” “Boba! Try one!” and Kyle hands me one. About 2 minutes later: “Are you supposed to pop it or something?” He laughed pretty hard. They were a fun little addition to…
