So Chris made dinner tonight while I walked the Chance dog. About a week ago he found out he has a broken sesamoid bone in his foot so he’s suppose to take it easy. While I love my little doggy pal, sometimes when it’s cold and rainy out I don’t get that jazzed to walk… Continue Reading

Let’s Get Physical (Therapy)
So as I’ve mentioned before, my knees suck. So I have basically stopped running in an effort to help save them. I’ve gone to the chiropractor and acupuncture and all of that definitely helped but they still hurt. In the back of my mind I kept telling myself I needed to go back to physical… Continue Reading
8 weeks
So my birthday is in just about 8 weeks. Back in January I made a resolution to weigh a certain amount by my birthday. Um since January I’ve lost about 3 pounds which is good. But that doesn’t quite get me to where I want to be. So now that I only have 8 weeks… Continue Reading
Day in pictures – Pacific City
This is my day Wine tasting at Willakenzie. A windy/rainy/hail-filled hike up a sand dune. Haystack Rock. Delicious cream ale at Pelican brew pub. The most amazing dessert – white chocolate creme brûlée with salted caramel crust and a hazelnut cookie.… Continue Reading
Arms of Steel
So Tuesday was cardio and a crazy legs workout thanks to Peanut Butter Fingers and yesterday was cardio and crazy arms. My arms are my favorite part of my body. I naturally tone up there faster than anywhere else and pilates definitely helps. Here are some celebs with crazy, buff arms. Madonna looks downright creepy… Continue Reading

So when I counted everything up today I was pleasantly surprised. Here’s the breakdown: Breakfast… Continue Reading
Vanilla Coconut Protein Squares
I’ve been playing around with protein balls/bars to take to work and have right before I work out. I don’t want to eat anything with weird stuff in it and it’s definitely been challenging trying to come up with something that tastes good and is good for me. This concoction was the best I’ve come… Continue Reading
Cooking with Chris – Spicy shrimp pasta with kale & red peppers
I have quite a few updates to post on here: My family came down this weekend and I gorged on ice cream with my dad and sister (sweet teeth have to be genetic). So bad but so good I tried out some new recipes that were not what I was hoping for. A new lunch… Continue Reading
Organic Brown Rice Syrup = Arsenic?
So recently this article has been floating around the internet. Basically some types of baby food, cereal bars and energy shots that are sweetened with organic brown rice syrup have been found to contain 6 more times of arsenic than the EPA considers safe. I guess the 1st thing that comes to my mind is… Continue Reading
Daily Diet – by the numbers
I was talking with my mother-in-law recently and she told me she’s had some success losing weight by tracking her calories. I mean, so simple right? Weight loss is just calories in minus calories out so by looking at the amount of calories you’re eating every day and then subtracting what you lose through activity… Continue Reading
