I would like to start with a huge thank you for all of your organization/living clutter free tips. I am having an issue where my comment replies aren’t showing up right now but I appreciate every single suggestion and I’m definitely going to heed the advice to take it one piece at a time. I will definitely keep you updated on my progress. With pictures to hold me accountable! 🙂
I’m currently planted on the couch and unable to move. Tuesdays do me in every time. I taught four yoga classes, BodyPump and squeezed in my own personal practice to complete day 8 of the 62 day yoga challenge. BodyPump was my last class of the day and the mic was broken. I channeled my past life as a cheerleader and got super loud but I was officially sick of talking by the end of class.
Some of today’s eats…
The best sandwich ever. Peanut butter, banana and honey on Great Harvest Dakota.
Greek yogurt snack.
I had a quick break between classes so I popped into Starbucks to write out a new sequence for my 4:20 at Y2 and caffeinate. I had an Awake tea with soy milk. The 4:20 was my last yoga class of the day and they were so amazing. The yogis at Y2 have really stepped it up since the start of the 62 Day Challenge and classes are packed. So grateful for their energy and enthusiasm!
Dinner was leftover lasagna from Sunday night. I never blogged Sunday night’s dinner but I threw together a lasagna and it was delicious. I cannot even remember the last time I made lasagna…or ate it. I’m so glad I did make it because we have a ton of leftovers and it’s making my cooking duties very easy this week! I’m usually not a big leftover fan but some foods are just better leftover…like lasagna! And tonight I had zero desire to cook after a long day so it was very nice to have dinner taken care of.
Leftovers? Love ’em or hate ’em?

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 [...]

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 [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

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 [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
