If there is such a thing as “hot spinning,” I’m pretty sure I did it. I hopped on our spin bike around 5pm and rode for 45 minutes in what felt nearly identical to a sauna. Sweat-y. It was in the 90′s today and we don’t have air conditioning so the ceiling fan and an… Continue Reading

Chest + Tri + Broken Bikes
Today, for my warm-up, I walked to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Or so says the step mill…I followed that up with some chest and tricep work that looked a little like this. I finished the whole thing off with 15 minutes on the rowing machine plus some solid foam rolling and I thought… Continue Reading
Sweat is fat crying
And there were plenty of tears shed in my gym tonight. But before we get to my sweaty workout, let’s rewind a bit. To this morning. When my gym bag was all packed up and ready to head out the door at 6:30 for an early morning workout. Except when the alarm went off Chris… Continue Reading
My favorite strawberry salad
Today is my last day of the photo shoot and I am so excited. I can’t wait to get back into my normal routine – bringing my own food, lunchtime workouts, actually getting work done. It’s going to be so nice. Speaking of nice. Yesterday was NICE out. Looks like this sunshine is going to… Continue Reading

Midweek roundup – Food + fitness
This is what I spent my day looking at yesterday. That, my friends, is my front room. Where a window is supposed to go. A few weeks ago, you’ll remember that I was also working from home, dealing with Home Depot and leaking windows. And they PROMISED me that they were fixing it. But they… Continue Reading
We bought a spin bike!
We bought it over the weekend and I rode it for the 1st time today. Um, can I tell you how much I love just rolling out of my bed and stumbling into the guest room to get my cardio in? It’s fantastic. I rode for 45 minutes and did some steady riding with moderate… Continue Reading
Just like riding a bike
After spending the entire day outside in the yard, (hello glorious sunshine) Chris and I got out our bikes and went on a 5 mile bike ride into Multnomah Village. And the hills (which are super tough when running), kicked my butt. We’d barely gotten out of our driveway and hit this tiny hill on… Continue Reading
