October 7, 2016 { 14 comments }Happy Friday everyone. If you’re anywhere in the path of Hurricane Matthew, lots of prayers headed your way. Stay safe and dry.

October 2, 2015 { 31 comments }Happy Friday! I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night which was so nice. I woke up naturally around 7:20 and invited Sullie up for some cuddles. It’s a cold, rainy day so I’m now camped out at my desk with a space heater and french pressed coffee. Perfect Friday morning. While I don’t [...]

Recent Eats: Fueling for Performance & Recovery + Give Me Sandwiches & Cookies
November 18, 2014 { 19 comments }I am having a tough time recovering from this half marathon! I think it was the combination of the effort I put into it with the extra cold conditions that took a toll on my body because I went into the race super rested. I was really sore for two days and now I just [...]

The Weekend + The Best Meal + The Saddest Movie
June 9, 2014 { 25 comments }I had a very low key but nice weekend. After continuing education all day on Friday, I crashed Friday night and didn’t do much of anything.

Brie and Apricot Chicken & Missin’ the Kitchen
February 12, 2013 { 34 comments }I miss cooking so much. I miss sitting down on Sundays, planning out my menu for the week and grocery shopping. I miss actually having someone to cook for. I miss the process of cooking. One of my favorite things in the world to do is settle into the kitchen, turn on music and get to [...]

Turning The (Baby Shower) Corner
January 13, 2013 { 28 comments }If I’m going to be really honest here then I have to say that I usually have mild anxiety when I receive a baby shower invitation. It’s not that I don’t think babies and pregnant ladies are wonderful but I’m just not good at all the baby stuff. First, the whole gift thing is always [...]

Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting
December 23, 2012 { 15 comments }I love to bake but it’s something that I have not been able to do nearly as frequently since I gave up my 9-5 and transitioned into a career in the fitness industry. It’s not that I can’t do it from a nutrition and calories perspective but more from a there is not time and [...]

December 10, 2012 { 9 comments }Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start. Given that it’s “focus on mobility month” and I haven’t shared much with you on that topic, I thought I would start today’s post off with some existing resources I have on the blog.

Falling For…
November 3, 2012 { 7 comments }Well, hello. It’s been quite a productive and fun Saturday over here. I had 4 dozen Butterscotch, Pretzel and Chocolate Chip Cookies baked before 9 a.m. and then practiced yoga, bathed the dog, moved furniture, met with the painter and hung out with two sets of friends. I’m happy. I’m not super excited about “Falling [...]

Workout Motivation – A Playlist And New Music Sources
July 30, 2012 { 25 comments }I don’t know about you but the Olympics sure are motivating me to work extra hard in the gym. Yesterday’s workout involved lots of fun with kettlebells, sled pushes and dragging a plate across the turf by walking on my hands. It was amazing and I am so sore today! I find a killer playlist [...]

The Weekend + Crockpot Salsa Chicken Recipe
July 29, 2012 { 38 comments }I don’t have too much to report from the weekend. It’s been very low-key. Saturday morning involved CrossFit. The second I checked the blog and saw this WOD I abandoned plans to practice yoga and headed over to the new gym instead. This is an ideal WOD for me for an all over good workout. [...]

Score Your Own And Build Your Own
May 30, 2012 { 18 comments }Happy Wednesday! (Is it just me or does the term “Hump Day” kind of creep you out?) This short week is flying by. I need it to slow down a bit! I sound like a broken record but my days have been devoted to getting ready for the opening of our new location – things [...]

Weekend Download
March 19, 2012 { 33 comments }My weekend ended with a 9 p.m. bedtime on Sunday. I don’t really know how to describe it but I’m just kind of tired and feel like I can’t get caught up. I got enough sleep over the weekend but my body has been feeling worn out and sore. I think a lot of it [...]

Back On The Grid
October 30, 2011 { 25 comments }Well…I pretty much fell off the face of the blog planet this weekend. I kind of needed a break from it. Actually, I kind of needed a break from busy life in general. Brandon was gone on a guy’s trip from Wednesday-Sunday so I took the opportunity to do the single girl thing. I slept. [...]

Birthdays and Bluegrass
November 14, 2010 { 11 comments }I am sorry that things have been quiet around here the past couple of days but I worked late on Friday night and yesterday was jam-packed – not a second to sit down with the computer! We’ll just skip over Friday because other than working 11 hours, there’s not much to report. I had to [...]

Cake Indecision
November 10, 2010 { 23 comments }My very sweet niece (and goddaughter!) is turning one on Saturday! Of course, I volunteered for cake duty but with this comes much indecision. I always drive myself crazy trying to pick out the perfect thing. For Emerson’s 2nd birthday (my older niece) last February, I made butterfly cupcakes. They were a huge hit. Here [...]

Sushi and Cupcakes
June 11, 2010 { 2 comments }Happy Friday! We are staying in town again this weekend (yay!). The weekend feels so much longer when we do! Yesterday for lunch I had no appetite. Let me repeat that – I had no appetite. Weird. Unlike me. You know I’m a three meals a day kind of girl and I am always ready [...]
