Happy Halloween! Nothing like starting the week with a holiday. 😉 We “celebrated” the holiday this past weekend by going to a friend’s costume party, carving pumpkins, and preparing a festive dessert and costume for work today. Tonight, we have plans to indulge in a viewing of the best Halloween film ever—Hocus Pocus. One of…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Apparently 2015 is winding down at an alarming rate. It’s already the 4th of November…what? Well I’m not ready to let get of October yet. Since Monday’s post was dedicated to healthy food prep tips, I didn’t get the chance to share our Halloween costume! Doing a couple’s costume always seems like a great idea,…
Costumes of Halloweens Past
Happy Halloween Eve!! This holiday is one I look forward to and dread every single year. I love a reason to dress up, but I hate figuring out what I’m going to be. (I like the DIY route for costumes, so half the time they turn out slightly terrible.) This year, though, I feel differently….
My Favorite Halloween Things
Is it just me or is this week crawling by? I just want this weekend to get here so I can dress ridiculously and go on adventures because of Halloween. To help get everyone in the spooky mood, I’ve dedicated today’s post to some fun things I’ve been loving lately—all Halloween-themed of course. Hope you…
10 Awesome Halloween-Themed Treats
It is officially October 31st! I get to dress up as two different characters today: one for a work costume contest and one for an evening fiesta. I love excuses to get dressed up and personally think more events throughout the year should require costumes of some sort. I’ll be revealing my costumes on my…
My Favorite Halloween Things
Monday: Full Body Circuit and a 2 minute and 50 second plank broken into 3 sets (bleh) Tuesday: Rest day – aka had no time to workout. Today: A full body circuit workout, my Toned Arms & Shoulders circuit, and a 2 minute and 55 second plank for my plank challenge (recap of the challenge to come Friday!) One…

The Claaaaaaw—Toy Story Pumpkin Carvings
**Make sure to enter my Feetures! running socks giveaway! Since Halloween is fast approaching, I made it my point to carve a pumpkin this weekend. It happened, but it’s not pretty. We put Hocus Pocus on and began our works of art. Matt decided to carve the alien from Toy Story in his pumpkin, so…
My Favorite Things
Workouts Monday: Ran 3.5 miles outside with a time of 33:35. I’m trying to run outside more so I can pick my mileage up a bit. I’m not okay with 4 miles feeling impossible. I also did 22 pushups for my pushup challenge. Tuesday: Did my Full Body Tabata Workout at 5:30am! Wasn’t as horrible…
What to Do with Leftover Halloween Candy
…other than eat way too much like I’ve been guilty of doing. The below picture is our leftover candy. There’s a lot more than the picture makes it look like. Pretty soon there will just be Skittles left because I’m not the biggest fan. If you tend to splurge on leftover Halloween candy a bit…
These Are a Few of My Favorite HALLOWEEN Things
Nothing but Halloween-related favorites today. Keep scrolling for all the festive fun! Movie Hocus Pocus. It’s a classic that never gets old—at least for me. Pumpkin Carving Idea Fanged Pumpkins. I don’t know about you, but I find carving teeth into a pumpkin quite difficult. Adding fangs is pretty cute and would be a teeth-carving…
38 Baked Potatoes for Halloween 2012
Before I get into our adventures from Halloween, here’s a quick look at today’s workout: I ran 8 miles in 1:10 – AKA 8:45/mile, baby! I’m quite pleased with myself. By the time I got to those 8 miles, I felt like I should just keep running to reach 15 (my goal long run distance for…
Randomness from the Weekend
*Meeting a Goal! I met my goal of running 80 miles in a month! Throughout the month of September, my shoes actually experienced 85.17 miles worth of running. Now the goal is 100 miles in a month so we’ll see how long that takes. If you want to check out my workout log to make…
