It’s Friday! And it’s the first time in awhile I’ve actually cared! ‘Tis the end of my first week of work, and it’s been a good one. I’m pretty pumped for a relaxing weekend though. Anyone doing anything interesting for Easter? Perhaps you’re going to eat some Peeps? Not going to lie, I’m probably not…

My Favorite Easter Things: PEEPS
Whelp, I survived my first day at work yesterday! I’m pretty excited because from now on I’m going in even earlier. That way I can get out at 3:30pm—aka more time for activities! Workout This means I’m actually going to start working out after work. I love getting my workouts out of the way in…
Tasty Tuesday: Nut & Seed Granola Bars
For today’s workout, I was going to go on the elliptical, but apparently our workout room is locked before 6:30 or 7 am… Instead, I just did a plank workout in our apartment and am about to do my Toned Arms & Shoulders workout. If I feel motivated after work, that’s when I’ll have the chance…
Snails & Dinos & Gift Cards! Oh My!
Ello, my friends! Can you believe April is one week away and Easter is this coming Sunday? I just realized all of this last night. Hopefully this means spring is around the corner. And by spring, I mean real spring—not snowy spring, which I know a lot of you are experiencing right now in the…
Flowers, Foosball, & Your Free Bulu Box
Happy Friday! It’s my last Friday before becoming a working woman! And I am MORE than okay with that. Speaking of my job news, I received this bright congratulatory bouquet from my lovely sister on Thursday. I thought the smiley face vase was a nice touch. It definitely makes it feel more springy up in here….
My Favorite Things + My Big News!
First and foremost, HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Workout Busted out my crazy new shoes and ran 6mi/54:08.78? I accidentally deleted all of the GPS data instead of looking at what my run was, but I believe this is what the numbers were when I last checked. If I’m right, I ran a pace of…
Tasty Tuesday: Easy Mostaccioli
Well hello there! Once again, I’m putting off a workout to do anything else. Laziness-1. Katie-0. Okay, I haven’t been completely lazy this morning. I’ve cleaned, started my Southwest Chicken Barley Soup in the Crockpot for dinner tonight, and have even picked the workout I’ll do–my Full Body Circuit. I guess it’s time I finally get to…
The Burnt, Obnoxious, and Green
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! How was your St. Patty’s Day?! Mine was spent like a true Irish gal… …getting burnt. Matt and I met up with some people for some beach volleyball. It was a bit chilly, though, with the sun only coming out when we were leaving. Oh well. Can’t complain when we’re…
Weight Loss Through Plyometrics
Happy happy Friday! Question for you: Have you ever been to a Which Wich? They’re a magical place with delicious customizable sandwiches. We went to one yesterday for lunch, and I just need people to know that if you fill out the survey at the bottom of the receipt, you can get a free cookie….
My Favorite Things
1. Happy Hump Day! 2. The blue Tootsie Pops are the best kind, and that’s a fact. 3. Bailey’s is really good in coffee. I discovered this last night. Workout Ran 5.02 miles at I have no idea what time or pace. The last 3.02 miles were done in 27:34 though. I forgot to stop…
Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies
For a healthier take on the classic chocolate chip cookies, try this recipe that uses whole wheat and oat flours instead of white four and Greek yogurt in place of part of the butter. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know there was an earthquake around here yesterday. Apparently there was an earthquake in…
An Elliptical Workout That Doesn’t Suck
Do you ever workout twice in a day? I rarely do, but when I do it’s usually awesome. Probably has something to do with the fact that if I’m working out again, it’s because I really want to. Gotta love workouts when you’re actually motivated! On Friday early evening, Matt went to boxing class which…
The Importance of Fitness When Dealing with Cancer
Don’t you just love when you go for a run and get back right before the weather gets all cray cray? That just happened to me. It’s super windy and rainy now. It was partly cloudy with a breeze earlier. Win! Workout Yesterday: I did my Toned Arms & Shoulders workout plus this following abs…
My Favorite Things
Today’s Run: 6 miles in 52:00.38—aka an 8:40 pace. Hollaaaaaaaaaaa. Apparently if you eat a bunch of crap and then do a fast-ish run in the heat, you don’t feel so great. I was having flashbacks to one of my worst runs ever. Therefore, instead of my planned 8 miles, I did 6. I’m okay with it…
CORE Foods Review
Let’s just get right into things. Workout Today was a weights day, so I chose my Full Body Circuit and did it 3x. It actually had a lot of cardio in it as well. Unlike yesterday, I did not almost faint. Woo! Next order of business: healthy food! CORE Foods Review As a Sweat Pink…
