Hello, hello! I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. This week is flying by for me! I hope it’s flying by for you too! Breakfast I started my day with Greek yogurt mixed with Paleo “granola” and blueberries. I didn’t think anything other than a crapload of nut butter would fill me up and hold me [...]

Many, many, many thanks for your kind and supportive comments on my morning post. I really appreciate each and everyone of them. I honestly wasn’t sure whether I wanted to share that part of my life on CNC, but now I’m so glad that I did. Thanks, again, guys. You’re awesome. Breakfast Mal and I [...]

About a month ago, Champion contacted me to see if I might want to review some of their sports bras. I am really picky when it comes to sports bras since I can never find ones that properly fit me, so I was all about putting the Champion ones to the test. I have a double sports [...]

Principle of Specificity

Holy crap. I am so sore this morning. I mean, everything is sore. I can’t remember the last time a Body Pump class kicked my butt like that. It sounds like the principle of specificity to me! Ready for some science?!? (I totally just felt like Mal writing that. He says that any time he [...]

Music & Memories

This morning’s Body Pump class was a serious blast from the past. The instructor broke out Body Pump 53, which was released back in April 2005, but I still remembered all of the songs and some of the choreography. I also can’t believe I’ve been Body Pumping for so long! The music from Body Pump [...]

I still can’t believe how many delicious recipe ideas I got from the Chobani Kitchen event the other day. Who knew yogurt was so versatile?! Ok, maybe I knew it was, but it’s just easier when someone gives me new recipes to try! One recipe that immediately caught my attention was for Mac ‘n’ Cheese. [...]

If you’re a long time reader of Carrots ‘N’ Cake, you’ve probably noticed that I tend to blog about many of the same topics over and over again— mostly because I love them so much. So, here’s a fun, little post that covers many of my favorites! Murphy I bet you’re not surprised by this one! [...]

Ice Ice Baby

Look at that pug face! Murphy seems so concerned! I still have no idea why Murphy was freaked out. Maybe he was just in a mood? Or maybe it’s all of the icicles hanging off our front porch? They’re quite ominous, especially for a little dog. Plus, they drip water on his back when he [...]

Snow Day

December 21, 2010

Yowsahs. I had no idea that we were suppose to get so much snow last night! Ok, bad choice of words. “So much” in Boston does not mean a few inches of snow. “So much” means, like, a foot or more. Even still, I was surprised to wake up to a Winter Wonderland this morning. [...]

Bad to Good

Wahhhhhh! (Yes, that was a Snooki ‘wah.’) Look what happened to my poor tire on the way to the gym this morning! I’m *usually* a very careful driver, but, somehow, I ran over a curb and destroyed my tire. I still have no idea how it happened!?! Check out the tear in the lower right of the [...]
