Hi and happy Tuesday!

I haven’t updated on day-to-day so here’s a look at the usual…workouts, food and Sullie! 🙂

The Workouts

10.7headstand

Nothing too remarkable. A couple of yoga practices, a run and a rest day.

The Food

10.6omelet

Omelet with brie, sundried tomatoes and spinach topped with chopped fresh herbs. Turkey bacon and fruit on the side.

10.7oo

Pumpkin overnight oats with oats, almond milk, plain greek yogurt, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and banana topped with sunflower seed butter.

10.7salad

Lunch salad  with mixed greens and spinach, prosciutto, avocado, edamame, artichoke hearts, goat cheese and glazed pecans.

10.6pecans

Speaking of glazed pecans…I whipped some up Sunday night to enjoy on salads this week.

10.6salad

Another salad with mixed greens, avocado, goat cheese, dried cranberries, glazed pecans and chicken breast with homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

10.06fish

Yummy, yummy dinner of roasted cauliflower, baked sea bass and salad. The sea bass was on major sale at the grocery and was a great treat. So buttery and rich!

10.08cake

And I baked an apple cake! They are one of my most favorite fall desserts.

Sullie

10.6sul

I made a trip to Home Depot on Sunday to pick up pumpkins and mums. Sullie was clearly thrilled about helping me decorate the front porch. I am always amazed by the ways she makes herself comfortable!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

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 [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

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 [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
