Caving to the Craving
June 23, 2010 { 6 comments }I tried so hard to resist it. Ignored the media, ignored all of my friends comments on Facebook and Twitter, even ignored my own husband’s rave review. Today, there was no stopping this craving. Oh yes. That would be the new Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Let’s look at it and all its deliciousness a little [...]

Running, Eating and Celebrating

Busy Summer Weekend
June 20, 2010 { 0 comments }Happy weekend! We’ve stayed very busy with mostly fun activities but it has definitely not made for a relaxing or restful weekend. Friday night we stayed in and worked on the house. We hung mirrors, pictures and curtains in the master bedroom. So happy with the progress. We had a late dinner of burgers on [...]

Blog Drama
June 18, 2010 { 3 comments }Before I launch into eats and workouts I have to let you know about some stuff going on behind the scenes with the blog. I am in the process of moving both of my blogs over to self-hosting and it is the most frustrating thing I have done in a long time! I’m having major [...]

Birthday Recap and Giveaway Winner
June 17, 2010 { 3 comments }My birthday was pretty low-key but I felt very loved! Between my friends, family, Facebook, Twitter and the blog I think I got a “happy birthday” every 5 minutes. Nice!

Happy Birthday Giveaway!
June 16, 2010 { 30 comments }Good morning! (a picture of Sullie because she’s a cuter birthday girl than me!) Today is my birthday! I started my day at Y2 Yoga with a hot vinyasa class.

The Beets are Back
June 15, 2010 { 0 comments }After enjoying the ready-to-eat beets from Trader Joe’s and seeing beets all over the blog world recently, I decided it was time to take a stab at cooking with them. I found this beautiful bunch of beets at the farmer’s market on Saturday for $2. I really wanted to use the beet greens too so [...]

It's Getting Hot in Here
June 13, 2010 { 1 comment }The first day of summer might not officially be until June 21 but it has arrived here in Charlotte. It’s been in the 90’s since Friday and so humid! Brandon and I both grew up the South so we’re accustomed to hot and humid summers but those first few days are always a bit of [...]

Sushi and Cupcakes
June 11, 2010 { 2 comments }Happy Friday! We are staying in town again this weekend (yay!). The weekend feels so much longer when we do! Yesterday for lunch I had no appetite. Let me repeat that – I had no appetite. Weird. Unlike me. You know I’m a three meals a day kind of girl and I am always ready [...]

A Year's Journey
June 9, 2010 { 7 comments }It’s amazing how much life can change in one year. Recently I have been thinking about our life in Birmingham and in disbelief that it’s been a year since law school graduation and our move to Charlotte. I’ve been working on this post for the last couple days to give you a glimpse of then [...]

Need Sleep
June 7, 2010 { 1 comment }I slept horribly Sunday night. There’s something about getting off of my sleeping schedule on the weekends and worrying about sleeping through my 5 a.m. wake up call on Monday mornings to teach BodyPump that just really interferes with my sleeping on Sundays. Last night was way worse than usual for some reason. I was [...]

A Random Sunday
June 6, 2010 { 4 comments }Today was a bit random. Especially in the food department. I really only had one true meal and the rest of the day was spent snacking/grazing. This is really unlike me – I am a scheduled, three square meals kind of girl. But it worked today so I just went with it! I started out [...]

Unsafe Blogging

Let’s hope things stay safe over here. So far, so good! One of my favorite things [...]

Dogs on the Run
June 3, 2010 { 3 comments }I received a Facebook message today from an old friend asking about running with her dog, Cooper. She’s having problems with other neighborhood dogs chasing/following her and Cooper. I was thinking about this on my run with Sullie today and thought that it might be beneficial for some readers if I talked about 1) running [...]

Big Toe Trouble
June 2, 2010 { 2 comments }So my morning started out bright and early at Y2 for a hot vinyasa class. One of the perks of making it through a hard yoga class is that most instructors will give foot massages while you’re in savasana. Well, after class this morning my teacher pointed out that my feet are ridiculously tight – [...]

Resurfacing
June 1, 2010 { 1 comment }And I’m back! After I shared the Greek feast with you Saturday night I kind of went off the grid for the rest of the holiday weekend. There was yard work to be done and family time to enjoy. I had good intentions of blogging Monday night but instead found myself in bed at 9:30 [...]
