Seriously delicious dinner last night! I may or may not have eaten it at 4:45 in the afternoon, but, hey, I was hungry. Mal was too, which is why dinner was finished cooking so early in the evening. When I got home from my second NRT appointment (more on that later), I arrived home to [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! If you didn’t already enter my Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt, you have until Friday morning to do so. There are some really awesome fitness prizes up for grabs! You definitely want to enter! I’ve recently gotten into the habit of reading magazines (as opposed to books) in bed before I fall [...]

Brrrrrr! Check out the wintery scene that I woke up to in our backyard this morning: Ick. Snow. I’m just not a fan. And I like snow even less when it comes to motivating myself to leave the house to exercise. The last thing I wanted to do this morning was venture out into the [...]

Good morning! The other day, I stumbled upon a short piece in Real Simple about saying like and um in conversation… like, um, a lot. Apparently, these words are verbal fillers, which we use when we feel nervous or need a second to get our thoughts together– and we’ve probably been using them for about 100,000 [...]

After doing Fran on Monday night, last night’s “Double Trouble” WOD kicked my bee-hind!! (I am most definitely taking a rest day today.) Our workout started with a quick warm-up before moving onto the Strength part. (FYI: Almost every CrossFit workout has this same format: Warm-up, Strength, WOD, Cool-down. The entire workout is typically done in [...]

It’s hard to tell who’s winning between Murphy and the couch. At first look, it seems like the pug is dominating his competition. Without much (if any) effort at all. But, when you look closer, it doesn’t seem like Murphy is very comfortable, so maybe the couch is winning after all? I dunno. It’s anyone’s [...]

Thanks for all of your supportive comments on my morning post! To me, cleaning up my diet means eating less of the unhealthy stuff and eating more of the nutritious stuff. I find that if I eat well-balanced snacks and meals, I actually don’t crave sweets (and other junk food) as much. With that said, [...]

Good morning! Happy November 1st! When I think about the month of November, I usually associate it with being thankful. After all, it’s the month when we celebrate Thanksgiving and remember what we are thankful for. With this in mind, I’ve decided to challenge myself to a month of thankfulness. For every day of November, [...]

Next week is going to be crazy for me. I’m attending a blog summit in California, and then I go immediately to New York City to run the marathon. Needless to say, it’s going to be an exciting few days, but also a hectic few days, so today I tried to get a head start [...]

Most random post title ever? I think so. Dinner One of the best parts about meal planning as a couple is trying recipes that I would never have picked otherwise. For example, yesterday, Mal found a recipe for Roast Beef Cocktail Sandwiches with Parsley Butter, which, initially, didn’t sound that appetizing to me, but ended [...]
