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…

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…

Finally fits
Hope your Friday has been this kinda awesome: (A hair band the Pilot saw in Cali. I looooove 80s bands. There’s one in Tucson that plays -or used to play?- at the Cactus Moon on Tuesday nights. Lots of Bon Jovi, which makes me happy) Breakfast: (2 eggs, brown rice toast, salsa) Today was gloriously…

While I was shaking my booty with a room full of hooting and hollering women + live drummers (not a bad way to wake up!) the Pilot took Liv to see the animals. We have annual zoo passes and figured we should start using them more, especially since the zoo opens early (to beat the…

I was conjuring up a new recipe that I wanted to try for dinner last night, but when I got home and took a look at the Pilot, we knew. Eclectic it was 😉 I was absolutely fried from teaching yesterday. Cooking just wasn’t going to happen. 3 days of Zumba again this week (whoo too!)…

I’m putting together a Family post together on post-delivery body, and in the meantime wanted to bring you a very special post from my friend Emily. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Emily before, and she’s just as amazing as you’d imagine from reading her blog. She has been a great resource for…

Fast Fitness Fixes
Oh hi, coffee. It’s nice to see you this morning… afternoon. Just a half-caf, but has already put a little pep in my step, along with a kinda weird but really delicious breakfast. I wanted oats and cereal, so I just combined them along with some almond milk, Sun Warrior and blueberries. Things are slowly…

Belly up
Even though sleeping and walking have become daunting tasks in the past week, I’m trying to savor it as much as I possibly can. I’m going to miss the belly- especially the closeness I’ve felt to the baby for the past almost-10 months. Even when I’m missing the kicks and body rolls, it will be…
