If you weren’t already aware, I like learning about ways to stay healthy — aka, stuff like new workouts and crazy foods. Today’s post will be focusing on the latter. When I first started reading healthy living blogs, I was exposed to so many strange foods. Bloggers would be talking about this or that, and…
Eating Healthy When It’s Inconvenient + P90X Meal Plan Week 2
The summer is a time of adventures, weddings, and fun in general. With all of these things come the challenge of sticking to a healthy diet. Apparently starting P90X right before all of these activities was not the best timing. I’ve already had several challenging days, and this past weekend was definitely part of that….
Mocha Protein Shake + Collagen Sport Protein Powder Giveaway {Closed}
Today is all about protein powder. As mentioned in Monday’s P90X meal plan, I’ve been drinking protein shakes every morning for breakfast and have come to really enjoy them. It’s fun to get creative with the recipes. I’m sharing my first of what will be many protein shakes on GMHO, and I hope you find…
Smorgasbord Lunches + Week 1 P90X Meal Plan
Organized meals are overrated. Sandwiches are all fine and dandy, but I’ve come to appreciate the magic of a bunch of random snacks thrown together for one smorgasbord meal. Snack food is delicious anyways, so why not make an entire meal of it? Everything has gotten a clean and healthy makeover for me with P90X,…
Ranch Dressing with Greek Yogurt
Day 2 of P90X workouts and crazy healthy nutrition plan, and I already have a healthy recipe to share! I love the idea of making homemade salad dressings, but the few recipes I’ve tried turned out…not very good. Since I’ll be eating a lot of salads over the next few months, I decided to work…
Our Exciting New Fitness Adventure: P90X
My entire past weekend was spent preparing for the next 90 days. Starting today, Matt and I are beginning the P90X fitness system, and we are beyond stoked. I spent a ridiculous amount of time the past few days researching it, creating a meal plan for this first week, and preparing some food. It’s a…
Dear Processed Foods,
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You’re scum between my toes. Love, Alfalfa Katie I go through spurts of eating healthy and then eating absolutely horribly. Lately? The latter. Frozen pizzas, Velveeta grilled cheese, condensed soups, cookies…it’s been bad. I don’t think it’s a big deal to have these things occasionally, but…
My Oatmeal Review with a Granola Recipe
I eat oatmeal 98% of the time for breakfast. I’ll occasionally get crazy and have some cereal, but oatmeal is my go-to because it’s so cheap, healthy, and easy to spice up. (Yet…for some reason I eat peanut butter banana oatmeal every single morning. I was telling you on Wednesday how I’m super exciting.) As…
Southwest Chicken Chili in the Crockpot
Whether you eat it on hotdogs, on pasta, on fries, or just straight up, there’s no doubt chili is a pretty versatile dish. There are also millions of recipes for the popular dish, so it never gets boring. The possibilities seem endless. I’ve only made my dad’s classic tomato-based chili with ground beef and beans,…
Training Update + Luna Grill Review
Week numero dos for half marathon training has begun! I ended week 1 with a big fail by not going on my easy 3-mile run because I wasn’t feeling well. Of all runs to skip, though, I figured that would be the one since it’s just a slow 3 miler. I woke up yesterday thinking…
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…
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…
Healthier Foods for a Super Bowl Party
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…
Blueberry Banana Ice Cream
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. Along with the Cranberry Chia Smoothie, Creamy Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup, and Popcorn in Coconut Oil, the following recipe was created during my 3-week detox. Since I couldn’t…
