It’s been quiet over here for the last three days because NYC has taken all of my attention. We haven’t stopped moving since we landed on Friday. We have eaten, walked and sight seen our way around this city and I can’t wait to share our trip with you. I’ll get to that when we get home but for now here’s a quick look at “NYC by the numbers” for Sunday + weekly workouts.

Number of long lines waited in for sweet treats: 2
Number of $4 cookies purchased: 14
Number of Big Gay Ice Creams purchased: 2
Number of pieces of NY-style pizza consumed: 4

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]
