Hey, friends! Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? Did it snow where you are? We were *supposed* to get a huge snow storm, but we ended up barely getting anything after all of the hype. And, of course, I am especially thankful for that. After last winter, I am so over snow for awhile! Anyway, we had a nice weekend over here, and I am going to recap it in numbers!
Minutes of toddler snuggle time on Friday afternoon (it was glorious): 25
Times we watched Kung Fu Panda: 2
Number of pull-ups I did at CrossFit on Saturday morning: 76
Number of push-ups I did at CrossFit on Saturday morning: 140
Number of air squats I did at CrossFit on Saturday morning: 210
(Yea, I was a tad sore on Sunday morning.)
Minutes entertained by a cardboard roll + plastic straw: 8
Minutes entertained by a Slinky + ball: 15
Fun size peanut M&Ms consumed: 5 (I know, right? I’m surprised too. I may have solved my peanut M&M “problem!”)
Family happy hours with drinks and snacks: 1
Snacks served: 3 (Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels, Spinach Artichoke Feta Dip, and Brie with crackers)
Times Quinn touched the Brie (he was so into it!): 76
Bites Quinn ate straight from the Brie wheel: 2 (He enthusiastically said “mmm” after each one!)
Inches of snow accumulated by Sunday morning: 6
Snacks eaten at Trader Joe’s: 2 (mini churro and cheese +cracker)
Grapes eaten by Quinn shortly after taking this photo: 20
ElevAte salads consumed: 4 (Kale Caesar, Sunny Caesar, Spinach-Pow, Blu-rugula)
The brand sent me some of their salads last week, and I am truly obsessed. They are legit salads with made with organic and interesting ingredients”” meaning they’re not your usual romaine lettuce/grape tomato/red onion/cucumber salads. They’re made with seriously nutritious ingredients (many of them are superfoods), so they’re packed with omega-3s, antioxidants, and plenty of plant-based proteins. (Some of their salads include Non-GMO Project-verified chicken too!) Here’s just a sampling of some of the ingredients: Aronia Berries, Cacao Nibs, Sorghum, Chia Seeds, Red Azuki Beans, Goji Berries, Cashews, Wheatberries, and Quinoa.
Ok, since I’m on a roll here, I also want to tell you that the ElevAte salad dressings are incredible. They’re light and flavorful, and there’s just the right amount, so it adds a little something-something to your salad, but doesn’t drench it either. And, finally, there are 8 different salad recipes, so you always have a delicious option to try! One more thing: The Caesar Vinaigrette and Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing on the Spinach-Pow salad are both to die for!! OMG.
And elevAte is giving away a ton of great fitness gear + 4 grand prizes including gym memberships, gift cards, and an Apple watch, so be sure to enter for a chance to win!

I cannot believe he was eating the Brie straight up. He’s got fancy taste buds! My weekend in numbers? It was 70 degrees in Phoenix!
You are amazing, 140 push-ups?! That’s impressive. One is my number; one date night, one glass of wine, one workout and one first haircut for my little guy.
Quinn’s need to touch everything is adorable. I love the little finger in each picture! I was actually a fairly nice weather weekend in Chicago–20s and low 30s. I will sooooo take it!
Wow, push-up machine! You go girl! I just can’t when I see Quinn and the family get-togethers. You all are adorable. Those salads sound awesome.
I don’t know how you can possible do that many push-ups! Well done! And that brie and Quinn is too funny! Looks like you guys had a great weekend 🙂
I’m surprised he liked the brie! That doesn’t seem like the kind of cheese a toddler would care for!

Quinn is too cute! Glad to see I’m not the only one with a toddler who cant.stop.touching.EVERYTHING! Did he have his first haircut? (I feel like you posted about it, but I forget). My boy still doesn’t have enough hair for a haircut yet, and he’s almost 19 months. Our big number for the weekend was 18 inches of snow!
He got his first hair cut at 15 months. It was super cute!

That’s crazy on the pull-ups. I am trying to get my first one. How long did it take before you were able to do them? What sorts of progressions did you find the most helpful while you were either trying to achieve the pull-up or get stronger at them?
I think it took me about 9 months to really get them. Here a post I wrote with some tips: http://carrotsncake.com/2013/01/tips-for-kipping-pull-up-success.html Hope it helps!!
Love this approach! Here’s mine: Minutes spent hiking-150, hours spent sleeping last night- 9 (omg!), episodes watched of chelsea handler’s new show on netflix- 3
I heard her show is hilarious! I need to start watching it!
49- Points Panthers scored against the Cardinals-SuperBowl bound!
I’m dying over the pictures of Quinn poking the Brie – so funny!!
Oh my gosh all those pushups! I was really proud because I did like 7 in a row on Saturday hahahaha
OMG so many pull-ups and push-ups!! You’re such an inspiration! I did 50 pull-ups (and 50 65 lb squats, 50 box jumps and 50 ring rows – see a theme?) on Saturday, and my chest was sooo sore yesterday!
(50 is also probably the number of chocolate chips I consumed this weekend also – oops!)
Those salads look great!I don’t normally do dressing on my salads since I don’t mind the tastes, but those look pretty good. Also, I love all the pictures of Quinn poking the cheese 🙂

I can’t get over how grown up Quinn is looking! And holy push ups girl! You are amazing!!
Looks like he is finally eating more food though, that’s great!
He’s doing quite a bit better!!
Times I left my apartment this weekend in Philly: Just once! To play in the snow
Quinn appears to be an awesome eater…wish my 3 year old was! She likes carbs and that’s about it!

Haha! That might be my plan this weekend!
Oh my lawwwd that workout! Doing 1 pull-up is my goal Hahaha
When I was Quinns age I used to eat Brie and asparagus soup all the time, it was the only thing I would eat! Funny how our taste buds are at that age!… But I did grow out of that, don’t worry! 😉
Number of times I said, “Seriously?” Out loud while reading this post: 3
Number of times I wondered if your numbers were random: 1 (The Brie touching, did you really count that? So cute!)
Your crossfit numbers are bananas! Those are definitely things I want to work on: push-ups and pull ups. Mostly because they’re things I never thought I could do! Slooooowly getting there with push ups!
Woo hoo!! You smoked Saturday’s workout – great job! This weekend in numbers – my boyfriend and I did 3 “projects” by breaking out the dehydrator for apple and kiwi chips, used the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment to make mint chocolate chip ice cream, and made waffles with our new waffle maker! We had a pretty yummy weekend.
And cute story and pictures of Q with the brie 🙂
It’s good to see the alligator is getting some of his 5 a day too! So glad you didn’t get as much snow as last year – I don’t think I’d ever seen photos of so much before! X
He’s one healthy alligator!
