I forgot to time myself, but this workout took me awhile to finish (maybe 20 minutes?) and it left me a tired, sweaty mess. I took multiple breaks during it to catch my breath and let my muscles recover. This [...]

Good morning! Happy Hump Day! Breakfast I started my day with a dee-licious breakfast this morning. I didn’t have any leftover squash/pumpkin/sweet potato to make my Sweet Breakfast Scramble, so I made it without and added a little cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey to the mix, which made it taste (and smell!) sort of like [...]

Two years ago today, Mal and I officially became homeowners!! I can’t believe two years has flown by so quickly. I also can’t believe we’ve managed to stay in one place for an entire two years. Remember when we used to move every 6 months or so? I’m not going to lie, I’m so glad [...]

Hello, hello! I hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday!  Breakfast I started my day with a very pumpkin-y breakfast: Sweet Breakfast Scramble in a jar (SBSIAJ) with canned pumpkin, TJ’s Pumpkin Butter, and an extra scoop of Teddie Peanut Butter in the mix. The combo of pumpkin butter + peanut butter was de-lic-ious! I also drank [...]

If It Is Important To You…

September 18, 2012

I saw this quote on the CrossFit 781 website the other day and just wanted to share: [image source] If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse. So true! Doesn’t this quote apply to so many things in life? I know I make time for the [...]
