If you are going Black Friday shopping today, I wish you luck. In order to not get trampled or shot, I have chosen to hang out on this fine Friday and be a bum, instead of fighting crowds at stores. As much as I love a good deal, I just don’t know if it’s worth…

My Favorite Thanksgiving Things: Part 2
Workouts Monday: Nada. My joints have been crazy achy lately, so I took the day off. Tuesday: I created the following circuit workout with low impact body weight exercises to be nice to my weirdly sore joints but still get a good workout. The entire workout took me 25 minutes to do three times. Today:…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll
I’m really excited to share this recipe with you guys today. It’s a recipe from my aunt that I wanted to share before Thanksgiving, so anyone searching for an amazing dessert recipe could try it out. The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll is one of my all-time favorite holiday treats. The combo of cream cheese and pumpkin…
A Gaggle of Dogs
Whelp, we had a weird/enjoyable weekend. In Friday’s post, I mentioned the boy and I were going to have a cliché date night and be grossly cute, but that didn’t happen. Our desire to hang out and lay low got the best of us. We did have a precious morning on Saturday, though, because we…
Guest Post: Introduction to Vitamin Supplements
Workouts Wednesday: Impromptu rest day. I chose to eat ice cream instead…I don’t want to talk about it. Thursday: Did the following 25-minute tabata workout: The only exercise not featured on GMHO yet is Donkey Kicks, which I was super excited about when I remembered them (I learned how to do them in a boxing…

Workouts Monday: Full Body Tabata Workout Tuesday: Ran outside with Matt, only doing 2.72 miles in 25:02. Today: Planning to create a new tabata workout and will hopefully share it in Friday’s post! It has happened. The Christmas spirit has officially taken over my brain. I have been informed I am not allowed to decorate…
A Dangerous Discovery
Yesterday started with me questioning a decision I keep making: going for a run with my much-faster boyfriend. I’m quite proud of myself because I ran 5 miles with lots of hills. It was difficult (and my form was all over the place), but alas! I finished those dreadful miles and even sprinted by the…
A Few of My Favorite Things
BREAKING NEWS: It’s not Tuesday anymore!!! As I’ve mentioned before, Tuesdays make me sad, and the article “It’s Only Tuesday” from The Onion describes my feelings exactly if you feel like reading it. Another thing that makes me sad? The getting dark before 5pm thing. It feels so much later than it actually is. Fitting…
My New Healthy Habit
I have a new habit that was inspired by sangria. No, it’s not drinking sangria. (I like to think that’s a healthy habit, but I can only lie to myself about so many things.) Anywho, it’s the whole fruit in cold water thing. I know. Groundbreaking. My main day-to-date drinks include water, coffee, and tea….
Crockpot Challenge Recap / How To Complicate The Simplest Cooking Method Out There
Be me. Seriously. I’ve become so good at drying out chicken in the crockpot that the act of eating as shifted from an enjoyable event to a burdensome chore. Fail. (Turns out most dishes shouldn’t be cooked for 10+ hours, even if the crockpot is on low.) If you were not aware, I’ve been working…

Hanging Out In The Mountains
Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We spent ours running, eating the biggest ice cream cone I have ever seen in my life, and visiting Julian, CA for a day of fall fun. Since I didn’t document the run or the ice cream (so sad I can’t show you the insanity that…
30-Day Plank Challenge Recap
Workouts Wednesday: Did the following circuit workout to ease into my day but with a bit of umph. It took about 5 minutes for each round for a total of 15 minutes. It was short and to the point. I liked it. Yesterday: Ran on the treadmill for 20 min/1.94mi, did an incline walk for…
