When I think of the Super Bowl, I think of three things: Football Commercials FOOD Usually, I’m all… Aka, I’m not a big football fan, but I’m working on it. The commercials are usually what I’m most excited about. However, the event would not be the same without all the divine finger foods. Since I…

My Favorite Things + PlantFusion Giveaway {Closed}
Remember that one time I made the goal of working out “like a beast” in 2014? Well, it’s nearing the end of January, and I have made no progress with this. Turns out when I get home from work, all I want to do is plop down on the couch eat lots of chocolate and…

Four weeks in a row!? Is this real life!? I’m breaking Gettin’ My Healthy On records over here by posting my fourth recipe in four weeks.

I’m Turning into a Girl + Detox Recap
I’ve found myself obsessing over random, girly things lately. Usually, I’m what Matt calls “dude-ish” because I’m pretty low maintenance and just don’t care, I guess. Well, my dudeliness is calming down, and the girliness has been strong lately because of the following reasons: 1. Ombre hair fascinates me. I got my hair highlighted over…

Detox Meal Plan: Week 3
Workouts Saturday: Played beach volleyball on the gorgeous day that it was. Sunday: 60 squats for day 2 of my squat challenge (because I’m a genius and totally forgot to do them on Saturday) and ran 5 miles at a 9:25 pace. It was one of the best runs I’ve been on in awhile. Early…
Squat Challenge + 500-Rep Weight Circuit
I’ve got a circuit workout and a month-long workout for you today! Below is a circuit I did on Wednesday that will probably be one of my new go-to’s. It’s another low impact circuit, which I’m all about. You see, some days I’m just not into the cardio thing. Not going to lie, a lot…
A Few of My Favorite Things
The week is officially half over!! I’m over here doing a little dance because I want the extra sleep, ability to be lazy, and random adventures that come with the weekend. Oh, and if you weren’t aware, I am quite the skilled dancer… So it’s pretty crazy over here…even though it’s currently 5am…so…in other words,…
Creamy Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup
What do you get when you mix savory and sweet ingredients? A tasty masterpiece. Last week, while I was trying to figure out some way to use the sweet potato I had, I came across a recipe that intrigued me. It was 90% detox-approved, so I decided to alter it a little bit for a…
Detox Meal Plan: Week 2
Guess what we got yesterday… New running shoes!!! And they’re pretty and bright!!! I’m so pumped. We’ve been keeping an eye on Road Runner’s clearance shoes for awhile, and we finally both found a pair (2 for $100 = best deal ever). Mine, which are on the left, practically called my name, and I found…
Pretzel Crisps Giveaway! {Closed}
In Wednesday’s post, I mentioned how the people at Pretzel Crisps sent me an awesome snack pack of seven different pretzel varieties in a reusable tote bag with a drink koozie. If you’ve never had Pretzel Crisps before, this needs to change. They’re basically pretzels but in more of a chip or cracker form. They’re…

Yesterday was horrible/awesome. The work day…wore on me a bit, but the moment I got home and walked to the door, my mood was lifted. The wonderful people at Pretzel Crisps sent me a bag of SEVEN different Pretzel Crisp varieties. I didn’t even know they made that many! Just in case you’re curious, there’s…
Cranberry Chia Smoothie
I’ve got a healthy recipe for you this morning, and it’s way past due. I go on smoothie kicks every once in awhile, usually drinking them as either a meal replacement or post-workout recovery drink. They’re all pretty similar, using some combination of fruit, spinach, and yogurt. I rarely share the recipes, though, since they ARE so…
Detox Meal Plan: Week 1
One of my goals for 2014 is to eat cleaner, and I’m jumping right in by participating in this 21-day detox starting tomorrow. It’s not a crazy “deprive yourself” detox, but rather an “eat super clean and put only good into your body” detox. While I think I eat pretty well for the most part,…
