Hi and happy weekend! It’s been just crazy gorgeous in Charlotte so I’ve been soaking up as much time outside as possible. It is 77 degrees and sunny right now. The trees and flowers are so confused and some of them are starting to bloom already.
My Sunday morning was everything I needed it to be, minus an early wake up call. Zoey ate over half of a jar of cashew butter in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday (totally Tanner’s fault! 😛 ) so homegirl has been paying the price for such an indulgent treat. I woke up at 6 a.m. to the sound of her getting sick. She seems to be fine though and her energy levels and personality are just like normal.
I spent the morning juicing, reading a magazine on the couch, cooking brunch and walking with Tanner and the girls. Now I just did my weekly meal planning and I’m off to workout at Madabolic. They’re hosting a group of teachers from the studio for a special private class. I’m running to Madabolic since I have my car situation so it should be quite the workout.
Here’s a quick recap of last week’s workouts along with what’s on our menu for the week. Hope y’all have a great Sunday afternoon/evening!

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]

I’m going to get really real right away. I wish I could say that I was feeling excited and confident about the race but [...]
