After spending last week at home in Illinois for Thanksgiving and doing my best to keep working out while traveling, I decided to jump right back into my normal routine with this shiny new circuit. Since our house has been hella cold lately, I wanted a workout that would warm me up fast, so I…

Friday Five: What I’m Most Thankful For
Good morning! Is anyone else still in a food coma? We had our second Thanksgiving yesterday, and it was a glorious time with good food and good people. Today, we’re back in San Diego to recover from a week of traveling and being with family. Looking back at this past week, I’m reminded of the…
My Favorite Thanksgiving Things: Part 4
Happy [almost] Thanksgiving!! I hope you’re all eating good food and seeing cool people tomorrow. We’ve already had one Thanksgiving with Matt’s family, and tomorrow we’re celebrating with my side. It’s kind of fun to celebrate with different people because you get to enjoy different types of dishes that each group tends to make every…
Tips & Tricks for Working Out During the Holidays
The holiday season is upon us! I’m so pumped to see family, have a few days off work to relax, and just embrace the spirit of the season (I’m anxious to throw up Christmas decorations but have been told I have to wait until after Thanksgiving; womp womp). Since this tends to be such a…
Strong Arms and Legs Workout + My Favorite Things
I’ve discovered the ideal time span for a workout: about 30 minutes, aka the amount of time it takes to finish an episode of Friends. Boom. After work yesterday, I wasn’t feeling any of my past workouts, so I created a new one that works the upper and lower body, and it conveniently took as…
Maple Gingerbread Smoothie
My Maple Gingerbread Smoothie is a healthy snack or meal that combines sweeteners like maple syrup and molasses with fall spices for a healthy, flavorful drink that will remind you of gingerbread cookies. As mentioned in my favorite fall things, the flavors are one of the many aspects that I look forward to most at…
A Few of My Favorite Things
I’ve decided I need to hire a personal assistant to roll out my muscles/IT bands like 50 times a day. I’m ashamed to say that I worked up a sweat using the athlete stick to roll out my legs yesterday–it’s strangely a lot of work. But if I’m ever going to get back to running,…
What to Consider Before Creating a Wedding Registry
Over the weekend, we made some pretty big progress in the wedding planning department. I’m quite pumped about it. First of all, I’ve finally collected almost all of the addresses I need to send our save the dates. Second, we started our wedding registry! To be honest, I wasn’t too excited about starting a registry…
Lower Body Blast Workout Circuit
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to lose all workout motivation after you’ve taken one too many days off. Excuses of why you don’t need to workout today are everywhere, and I’ve been listening a bit too often lately. But no mas! I’m determined to get back into my much-needed sweat…
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,…
