My Car Is A Money Pit

October 3, 2012

4248 (1)

I’m off to Seattle later this week, so I’ve spent the past few days with my butt glued to my desk chair and pounding out work. I put together a few posts to publish while I’m away, wrote my Health posts (I’m writing for them twice a week now), and finished up my last few [...]

Breaking Out The Fall Décor

September 12, 2012

2012-09-12_0803

So, this morning was a tad frustrating. After breakfast, I drove to an appointment with my GI doctor, but, unfortunately, I never actually saw him because of some health insurance mumbo-jumbo. Basically, I didn’t have a referral from my new primary care doctor to see my GI doc, so my visit wouldn’t have been covered [...]

Hi, friends! Thank you so much for all of your supportive comments on this morning’s post. It was a tough decision to make, but I know it’s for the best. And if you don’t have your health, you really don’t have much, so I’m glad I’m giving it a try. Snack A few hours after [...]

Hi, guys! Happy Tuesday! Check out who decided to get comfy in my office chair this afternoon: Working hard or hardly working? He’s so darn cute. Breakfast Today’s breakfast was almond butter, banana, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a whole wheat wrap with a glass of iced coffee with almond milk in it. I know I’ve [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Tuesday! The other day, I stumbled upon this cool infographic created by some CrossFit number crunchers. It shows the average stats of the men and women who placed in the top 10 in the 2012 CrossFit Open. Check it out! Just for fun, here’s how I compare: Snatch: 80 lbs. Clean and [...]

Nuts for Nut Butter

June 28, 2012

2012-06-28_1525

It’s probably no surprise I love nut butter. I mean, you guys see how much of it I eat on CNC. I basically plow through about a jar in one week all by myself (ok, maybe 1.5 jars). Mal might eat a serving or two, but, typically, I dominate the jar. What can I say, [...]

Summer Run Streak

May 23, 2012

IMG_5113 (750x563)

Hello, hello! After breakfast, I planned to go for a run, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I felt lazy and unmotivated, so I threw on my new Reach the Beach tech shirt with the hope of it psyching me up. (New workout gear is typically instant exercise motivation for me.) Even though I was [...]

What Counts as a Workout?

March 14, 2012

IMG_1630 (900x675)

Ever since colitis flare #2, I’ve taken it easy with workouts by scheduling more rest days into each week and completely nixing my twice-a-day sessions. With that said, I woke up this morning feeling pretty sore (and just kind of blah) after last night’s CrossFit workout, so it was no-brainer to take a rest day [...]

Moving Billboard

March 6, 2012

2012-03-06_1004

Hello, friends! The other day, I read an article about creative ways to make some extra cash. One of the ideas was basically turning your car into a moving billboard by advertising on it. Apparently, you can make some serious dinero doing this. One company who does this type of advertising, Free Car Media, says [...]
