Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Hi, friends! Happy Hump Day! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! Breakfast I started yesterday morning with my favorite (current) breakfast: green juice + a toasted, gluten-free English muffin with peanut butter and banana on one side and sunflower butter and banana on the other side. I could seriously eat this [...]

A couple of hours after lunch yesterday, I had a craving for something cold and creamy—specifically, a “Bananas Foster” smoothie, which I’ve made almost every day since I created the recipe for Health.com last week. (FYI: I think it’ll be published next week.) It’s so frickin’ good. It’s basically a dessert smoothie, but the recipe calls [...]

Good morning! Happy Tuesday! Yesterday morning started bright and early with a trip to Marylou’s for iced coffee. Mal and I both dropped the ball on making another batch, so we ended up buying our morning cup of joe. As always, Murphy wanted to come for a ride in the car. Pugs love adventures. There [...]

I was all about the “step-up” for my second attempt at Open WOD 13.2. (Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions, by the way!) I did it right from the beginning of the workout, and it definitely proved to be a smart strategy for me. 3…2…1…GO! Photo credit: Sean Burns During 13.2, I learned [...]

I can’t believe Halloween is tomorrow. I hope we’re ready for the trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood. Last year, they wiped us clean in just a couple of hours, so Mal and I are ready with tons of candy this year. And I bought all our favorites just in case we have leftovers! Lunch Yesterday’s lunch [...]

Our little pug patient is feeling quite a bit better today. His eyes still look a little cloudy, but they’re not nearly as watery and booger-y as they were a few days ago. Murphy has a check-up with the vet tomorrow afternoon, so, hopefully, we’ll hear some good news then. At least he’s back to [...]

After breakfast this morning, I did something I haven’t done in awhile: I went for a run! I know, I’m as surprised as you are! Haha! I actually have two races coming up on my calendar—the Run for Redemption 5K and the Army 10-Miler—and I’m also thinking about adding a fall half marathon, so I [...]

A common saying in the CrossFit world is “stronger than yesterday.” I actually own a tank top with these exact words on it because I just love them so much. [image source: 3, 2 ,1 Go Stuff] Every time I go to CrossFit, my goal is always to improve (even if it’s just a little [...]

Hi, guys! Happy Tuesday! Have any big plans for the 4th of July tomorrow? Mal and I are still figuring out what we’re going to do, but whatever it is, it’s going to involve sun (I hope) and fun! Breakfast This morning’s breakfast was Greek yogurt with trail mix, fresh raspberries, and a scoop of [...]
