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…
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…
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,…
Saturated Fat in Coconut – Good or Bad?
If you’re anything like me, you’ve looked at the nutrition labels on coconut oil, butter, or milk and cringed. How on earth can there be so much “bad”, saturated fat in such a healthy food? Based on my recent findings, my life is a lie it’s not so bad after all. You may know that…
How to Trick Yourself into Eating Healthy Foods
[Source] Aww yeah. Mondays 1 through 4 are over. Happy Friday! Before I get into the real meat of this post, here’s a quick workout recap: Workouts Thursday: 21 pushups and my Keep It Light Treadmill Run, which I ended 5 minutes early because it apparently wasn’t light enough for me. Tonight: Circuit workout of some sort…
Smoothies as Meal Replacements
Smoothies can be a great supplement to a healthy diet. Whether you drink them because they’re nutritious, convenient, or just straight-up delicious, there’s no doubt smoothies are the bee’s knees. A friend of mine approached me recently about wanting to replace meals with smoothies to help him lose weight, so I wanted to write a post…
