The other day Chris and I worked out in the morning. I was just going to do some cardio but he wanted a spotter and would I do weights with him. So I switched it up and worked my chest and triceps until they were dying. I tend to only work my arms in Pilates… Continue Reading

Beach Weekend
We headed down to the beach this weekend to drop Chance off with his grandparents. So happy that he gets to stay with them instead of a kennel when we’re in Maui. While we were at the beach we were lucky to experience some amazing weather. It was in the mid 50′s and sunny. One… Continue Reading
Budgets Part 1 – Grocery Shopping
Last week I was chatting with a friend at work, saying that I’d been able to leave the grocery story with only a $47 bill for all our food for the week and she told me I needed to write a post about budgeting. And then, this weekend hanging with Kara and her sister, we… Continue Reading
Shorts-weather legs
I got out of a meeting late today so had to miss pilates (sad). But instead it gave me a chance to mix things up and do my own leg workout. I love to workout my legs. That’s what I would do every day if I could but my knees don’t really think that’s cool. … Continue Reading
SPICY Chipotle Chicken + Cilantro Lime Rice
I found this recipe on Pinterest 2 weeks ago and pinned it because it looked delicious and it was from a clean eating site. We bought all the ingredients last week andnever ended up making it so tonight we gave it a shot. Verdict? Yum. But boy oh boy was it spicy. The chicken and… Continue Reading
Crack Clusters
So this weekend my friend introduced me to cashew clusters from Costco but I think they should change the name to Crack clusters because I’m seriously addicted. I mean, literally cannot keep my hand out of the bag. It started yesterday when I was hungry on the train. “Just 5, 1 serving, 150 calories” I… Continue Reading
Holy Banana’s Batman – Peanut Butter Banana “Ice Cream”
I have a huge sweet tooth and am always looking for new healthy treats, plus I can’t eat sugar because of the January Challenge. I’d seen a recipe like this on Pinterest and wanted to give it a shot plus I wanted to try out my new powdered peanut butter. This definitely exceeded my expectations.… Continue Reading
Strangers on a train
Well, not really. No strangers that I’m talking to anyway. It’s just a David Nail song that’s been in my head all morning. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m on a train right now heading to Seattle to spend the day with Kara, one of my best friends. We actually haven’t hung out since my… Continue Reading
Shrimp tacos with cilantro lime sour cream & “my favorite” salsa
Like I’ve mentioned before, I love shrimp and last night when I asked Chris what he wanted for dinner tomorrow he picked shrimp tacos because he loves shrimp too. Good thing. Tonight’s dinner is probably my favorite meal that I’ve ever made. All the flavors come together perfectly and you don’t use any cheese which… Continue Reading
Spicy Shrimp, Broccoli and Goat Cheese Pasta
I love shrimp. It’s in my top 5 favorite foods of all time (pizza, shrimp, corn, cheese and peanut butter). It’s my favorite source of protein and if it was left up to me I’d eat shrimp for dinner every single day. We always buy the big, bulk bags of shrimp at Costco (not farm… Continue Reading
