This is what happens when you read too long in the sun on your iphone/ipad. See, I’d planned to spend my day off reading in the sun which meant I needed to have an actual book not my ipad. But going to the book store seemed like so much work especially when the next installment… Continue Reading

Makela Gets Married
Phew – busy day around here. I got up and went for a 3.5 mile run. It felt so nice to get up and get my workout out of the way. Then I made our standard smoothie/coffee breakfast. After that I showered and headed out on some errands – Babies R Us for a baby… Continue Reading
Cooking with Chris: Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza
Hola, Happy Monday morning :) Hope everyone is having a great day so far. I’m pretty pumped for some things that are happening later in the week but I’ll tell you more about that at another time :) What do I want to tell you about today? How about the delicious thing that came out… Continue Reading
Beach day
Just a quick note from the coast, checking in so you don’t forget about me :) Last night we went to Dundee’s in Seaside which is home to my absolute favorite pizza ever and I barely had enough time to take a picture before I ate it all. And yes. At Dundee’s on this pizza… Continue Reading
Thank you Jillian
So Tuesday night I did Jillian Michaels’ killer buns and thighs. I’ve done that DVD a couple of times, usually level 1 so I switched it up and tried level 2. It was definitely harder – hello 1 legged squats! and then there were a couple lunge combos I couldn’t do because of my knees… Continue Reading
Homemade pizza & The Biggest Loser
Is there any irony in the fact that our dinner last night was homemade pizza and yet right afterwards we watched Biggest Loser – a show where people are trying to lose weight and change their lives? I’m glad Bob Harper was in my TV screen and not in my living room. (Although I did… Continue Reading
Doing (yard) work
Yesterday we did yard work. And when I was thinking about what I’d say about it, I realized I didn’t want to write about yesterday’s yard work without giving you a bit of background on our yard. Because yesterday’s yard work was NOTHING compared to most of the yard work we’ve done on this place. … 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
125 push-ups
As I was doing Jillian Michaels’ Extreme Shed and Shred this afternoon I realized my arms were super sore. So I thought back to yesterday’s workout and then I realized I did 125 pushups. 125! That’s a lot. Now I’ll admit that only 25 were real push-ups the rest were girl (knee) versions which I’m… Continue Reading
Valentine’s day pizza
Have I mentioned that I love pizza? Like it’s my favorite food. Ever. Hands down. Last year for Valentine’s day Chris surprised me and created an amazing date where we made our own pizza. Soooo good. And such a great way to spend the day with the man I love. We decided to keep the… Continue Reading
