On Star Wars Day May 4th, I will be running through the tundra with cheetahs and giraffes and sweaty people. Minus the cheetahs and giraffes. In Monday’s post I mentioned I had news about an upcoming race, and I am finally sharing the exciting details. Since one of my New Year’s resolutions/goals was to sign…

A Few of My Favorite Things
I will not get sick. I will not get sick. I will not get sick. Ever since I graduated from college almost three years ago (sheiza), I have rarely gotten sick. It seemed every time midterms or finals week arrived, I would get sick. Since I don’t have excessive stress like that anymore, I’ve been…
Painting and Vino
GroupOn is so underrated. We try to browse through those types of deals sites once in awhile because there are so many great activities you wouldn’t normally think of doing, or go out of your way to do, but that are so worth it, especially here in San Diego (helloooo paddleboarding). This past weekend I…
That One Time I Counted Calories
I’m not a calorie counter, and I never want to be. People who are able to keep track of their caloric intake fascinate me because I find it to be a pain in the arse, unless everything you eat is out of a package. My goal is to always eat somewhat healthy with some room…
My Favorite Things
If you live in the Atlanta or Chicago are, I need you to do something for me… Run this race: I just discovered this “Bacon Chase” 5k/.5k last night and think it’s the best thing ever. It was basically made for Matt and my brother-in-law because they have unhealthy obsessions with bacon. You get unlimited…
Cheesy Tortellini Tomato Soup
Although it’s not exactly cold here in San Diego… I’m still partaking in winter-ish activities like drinking hot chocolate, wearing sweaters, complaining about the cold, and lastly, making soup. I have a few soup recipes on GMHO, but today’s might be my favorite. I’ve tweaked the recipe a few times and now deem it worthy…
Squat Challenge Recap
Yesterday was officially the end of my squat challenge, making it up to the big 2-5-0. Can I just say… [Source] Although that’s how I felt for the last part of the 30-day challenge, never did I feel like the number was unattainable. My biggest problem was probably the time commitment. When you’re doing 200+…
Valentine’s Day Cards: The Insulting, Ridiculous, and Cheesy
Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m pretty indifferent about the whole Valentine’s Day thing, but I like how it’s an excuse to be especially annoying cute/loving. Matt’s birthday was this past week, So I thought it would be pretty funny if we celebrated it tonight, and I paid for everything and treated him. He would probably look…
My Favorite Things + Cardio & Core Circuit
Rest days from a workout challenge are so confusing. I’ve been spending some quality time doing squats lately for my squats challenge, so whenever a rest day rolls around, I feel pretty crazy. Approximately 5 extra minutes of free time? To quote the Koolaid man, “OHHH YEAHHH.” Weirdly wonderful. Anyways…on Monday I had that rest…
Sweet & Simple Trail Mix Recipe
Today’s recipe is so simple I debated whether to even put it on the blog. Then again, I figured…it’s delicious, so why not? It uses three simple ingredients: In case you people were not aware, these three ingredients were made for each other. I used to make bags of this stuff in college all the time for…
A New Workout Adventure + Giveaway Winner
Thank you to everyone who entered my PlantFusion giveaway! The winner is… Jaclyn Reynolds — Congrats, Jaclyn! I’ll be sending you an email shortly. 🙂 Now, about that workout adventure I lured you in with… Yesterday, I made a few awesome purchases: 1. An Oat & Honey candle that smells like everything that is right…

Workouts Yesterday: No Equipment Needed Core & Legs Circuit + 170 squats for my squats challenge Today: 30 Minutes to Speed It Up treadmill run + 180 squats I have a little something for you today in the form of hunky boy bands, strange girl groups, and terribly awesome pop music. I’ve only ever featured…
A Few of My Favorite Things
It’s going to be a super late night for this girl because we’re going to watching some ice skaters punch each other. Okay, so that’s not the main point of hockey, but I find the fights enjoyable. Soooo ridiculous. Matt and I will be attending the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Anaheim Ducks game in Anaheim this…
Chicken Casserole with Chow Mein Noodles
This week’s recipe is from my grandmother! I grew up eating this chicken casserole, and now that I’m making it on my own, I love it more. Why? Because it’s one of the easiest things to make ever. You just throw together a few ingredients and pop it in the oven. It uses condensed soup,…
A Second Marathon?
Exactly one year ago to the day, I ran my first marathon. It’s weird thinking that 1. it has been a whole year and 2. it actually happened. It was pretty amazing to mark that off my bucket list. Ever since I finished that race, I have taken a huge focus off running. I try…
