Another Birthday Girl and Happy Fourth!

We arrived here yesterday for a family reunion for Brandon’s mother’s side of the family. There are about 50-60 people here! Crazy but fun to meet so many family members from all over.

Running, Eating and Celebrating
June 21, 2010 { 5 comments }Get ready – this is going to be a long post. Yesterday was a busy day full of fun and excitement. I woke up around 8 a.m. and got to work in the kitchen baking oatmeal raisin cookies to take to my run + lunch date with a fun group of girls. I ate a [...]

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 [...]

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 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
June 5, 2010 { 0 comments }We have a bit of an unsafe situation on our patio… This is what you get when you have me blogging, Brandon on his computer, our Christmas light umbrella and iPod dock all plugged into the same extension cord. Let’s hope things stay safe over here. So far, so good! One of my favorite things [...]

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 [...]

Opa!
May 29, 2010 { 1 comment }I am stuffed from a Greek feast! I LOVE Greek food but more about that in a minute. Let’s backtrack and cover the rest of the day. I was up early this morning for a hot class with Suzanne at Charlotte Yoga. Before heading to class I had a piece of whole wheat toast with [...]

Full Disclosure
May 28, 2010 { 1 comment }Full disclosure on this healthy living blog: after my post earlier in the week about how to menu plan for the week and avoiding the temptation to eat out on a weeknight, I totally caved last night and we went out for dinner. :oops: It is extremely rare that we eat out on a weeknight [...]

Hilton Head Island Weekend in Review
May 23, 2010 { 3 comments }It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. Brandon and I had a miscommunication about who was packing my laptop for our long weekend in Hilton Head. We were about half way there when I realized that he didn’t bring it. I had a minor freak out but then just decided to enjoy my [...]

Down Dog Tired
May 16, 2010 { 0 comments }A little over 24 hours later – including 4.5 hours of yoga – and I’m back. I survived yoga bootcamp and even went back for more today. Yoga bootcamp was an awesome experience – as expected. There were 13 of us in the class. Celeste and Tanner lined us up in one long line and [...]

At Our Own Pace
May 15, 2010 { 0 comments }Happy weekend! We’re hanging out in Charlotte this weekend. It’s so nice to relax and go at our own pace. I taught BodyPump this morning and am heading to Y2 yoga in a bit for a three-hour yoga bootcamp. I’m getting nervous. I did one a couple of months ago and it was very challenging. [...]

Back in Action
May 10, 2010 { 3 comments }And I’m back! I promise that last weekend was the end of the intermittent blogging and I’m now returning to regular posting. As you all know (because I told you in every single post last week), the past two weeks have been insane with house closing, moving, traveling, unpacking and preparing for weekend guests. We [...]

Lowcountry Living
May 3, 2010 { 1 comment }I spent this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina for my friend Michelle’s bachelorette party. Brandon and I lived in Charleston for a year after college and were married there so it holds a very special place in my heart. We had a fun girl’s weekend. I wanted to update the blog yesterday but the wireless [...]

Bulk Madness
April 25, 2010 { 0 comments }Happy weekend! I woke up starving Saturday morning. You will all be so proud…I mixed up breakfast a bit this weekend (no oats!). Toasted 12-grain English muffin, almond butter and Crofter’s with cantaloupe and black coffee on the side. I thought about going to yoga or running yesterday morning but I really wasn’t feeling it. [...]

Crazy for Kombucha
April 24, 2010 { 5 comments }This morning started out like most Friday mornings – with a hot vinyasa yoga class at Y2. I rarely miss this Friday morning class. I think it’s the perfect way to kick off my weekend! While I was getting ready for work I put a pot of oats on for breakfast. Today’s mix featured 1/3 [...]

Weekend Splurges
April 18, 2010 { 7 comments }I love Sunday mornings. The windows are open, the sun is shining and I’m catching up on the blog world while drinking coffee. I woke up around 8:30 this morning and immediately put on my running shoes. Sullie and I knocked out an easy 3.5 miles and came home to coffee and oats. This mornings [...]
