I don’t have much for you guys today. I’ve been enjoying living the housewife life! 😉 Tomorrow is my last day off – it’s been a fun few days but I’m definitely ready to start my new adventure on Thursday.
I slept until 9 a.m. this morning for a whopping total of 10 hours of sleep. It was so very needed and I feel amazing and rested. I lounged around drinking coffee and eating apple cinnamon oats before I headed to Y2 for a Superflow class. I thought yesterday’s hot vinyasa class was intense but superflow took intense to a whole new level today. We went through the sequence three times and it was all I could do to hold it together and make it through the third sequence. There was literally sweat pouring off my body in a stream. Gross but awesome at the same time.
I totaled my water intake for the day and it’s well over 100 ounces. I have been a camel with the hot summer temperatures and all the hot yoga I’ve been doing the last few days.
After yoga I made a salad with leftovers from last night’s dinner.
White bean and charred onion salad with tomatoes over baby spinach. The perfect cool lunch after hot yoga.
I taught BodyPump tonight and had a special guest. My friend Sarah decided to try BodyPump tonight. She’s recently started attending some sculpting classes and of course I’ve encouraged her to come to BodyPump. She totally rocked the class and didn’t even look like a first timer!
After BodyPump I came home to prepare an Indian feast.
Chicken Tikka Masala (will be blogging about soon on Bakin’ and Eggs) over rice with homemade naan. I have been craving Indian for weeks and this totally satisfied my craving. I see leftovers in my future for dinner tomorrow night.
Now I’m icing my sore and bruised shin (from the kayaking flip incident last weekend) and watching The Hills. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that.
What trashy TV shows do you watch?

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 [...]
