As part of my partnership with Fitfluential I got the opportunity to try some products from Designer Whey. I am super picky when it comes to my protein powders and won’t use anything with fake chemicals etc and had been hesitant to use their powders because they were sweetened with sucralose. Gross. No thanks. But… Continue Reading

Not that bad for you Chicken Enchiladas
It’s Tuesday and already we’re not on track with our meal plan. Ok but not that far off. Maybe even healthier. Yesterday instead of having chicken enchiladas we had leftover BBQ chicken pizza and salad. Except I was working until after 7 and was too lazy to chop up any sort of fruit or make… Continue Reading
2 workouts, 2 cookies, 2 cars
Big news around here my friends. My camera is back!! I was worried it wasn’t going to be back in time for the holidays but it made it. Expensive lesson learned: do not tote it around in a cinch sack with minimal padding when gallivanting around San Francisco. Just use the camera bag, even if… Continue Reading
Pad Thai with Peas?
1st, sad news. My beloved Canon T3i somehow got knocked around in SF and got injured. She can still take pictures but the top of the case became loose and that just can’t be good. Because Canon is awesome they are letting me send it back in to get fixed for free (hopefully). Anyway, she’s… Continue Reading
Orange Juice
Today I can’t wait to wear this shirt (under my layers of black…down vest, rain jacket etc – 48 degrees at kickoff). I’m so proud of my husband for helping to bring this to market :) Go here for some info on the whole Beaver juice story. In other orange juice news, I used the… Continue Reading
Efficient workouts + shrimp pasta
Week one of the new job is one the books. Done and done. I also tried out my new lunchtime workout schedule for the 1st time and I feel like it’s going to be doable. Honestly the only negative thing that was going through my mind when I was dealing with all this job stuff… Continue Reading
Things I am jazzed about
Can you tell I’ve been busy at night enjoying our glorious weather that seems to be never-ending? Instead of trying new recipes, taking pictures or talking about my workouts we’ve been celebrating our anniversary, meeting friends downtown for dinner, going on long walks and eating Chipotle. Ahhh the life. And the best part, it looks… Continue Reading
2 favorite weight circuits
Lately I’ve been loving myself some free-weight circuits. Now that my knees are finally feeling better (clearly they are glad I didn’t run Hood to Coast even though I was not) I’ve been doing some sort of circuit at least two times a week…on a non pilates reformer day. I have yet to do a… Continue Reading
Home-grown tomatoes & bike rides + Indian Summer
We have had something crazy like 58 straight days without rain. That is unheard of in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been amazing. Nothing but day after day of gorgeous weather. I’m hoping it continues and we get a full on Indian Summer. Cross your fingers. And because this is it – the last time we… Continue Reading
The anti Hood to Coast weekend
So this weekend I was supposed to run Hood To Coast but if you recall from here, I decided to listen to my body, particularly my knees, and sit this year out. And guess what? It sucked. No matter how much I tried to tell myself that it was for the best, that I… Continue Reading
