Happy Friday and Day-After Thanksgiving! I’m one of the lucky ones who got today off work to thoroughly celebrate the holiday. What will I do with my extra time? I’m not even going to lie…I fully plan to binge watch Gilmore Girls for a good chunk of today. Sooooo excited. For some reason, on days…
Pear, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Salad with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Make this mixed greens salad filled with fall flavors, including pears, bacon, pecans, pomegranate, and goat cheese—all tied together with a homemade maple balsamic vinaigrette. Happy week of Thanksgiving!!! I’m more than ready for this holiday season, and what better way to jump right in than with a week of food, people, and giving thanks?…
Focus on Building the New
While I believe you shouldn’t live for Fridays, I have to admit…I’m pretty stoked the weekend starts SOON. It’s been a loooong week for me mentally, especially the past couple days. Because of this, I’ve started doing something I haven’t done in awhile: read through a bunch of inspirational quotes for a mental pick-me-up. Over…
Spiced Cranberry Orange Red Sangria
Make this festive fall sangria recipe using cranberries, orange, apple, and spices for a flavorful beverage sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Ohhhhh, sangria. Why are you so delicious?! I’ve been wanting to make a fall-themed sangria for ages, and as of yesterday, I have the perfect combination of flavors. I used cranberries…
16 Little Things to Focus on When Everything Sucks
This post was inspired by current U.S. events that have caused so many people around me to be extremely sad, resentful, scared, depressed, hateful, and angry. Such negative feelings are circulating, especially on social media, which is why I wanted to take today to remind you of all the little things we can focus on…
Travel Workout for Upper Body and Core
Now that we’re well on our way into the holiday season, what better time than now to share a no-equipment workout?! I’m all about circuits that only require my bodyweight because you can do them anytime, anywhere (and despite my weight loss story on Friday, I’ve got lots of weight left to strengthen my muscles…
My Weight Loss Story
Before I get into this post, I just want to say this isn’t a crazy story of how I lost half my bodyweight and turned my life around like some truly inspiring people out there. I actually feel weird posting about this because I don’t consider myself a “weight loss success story” or anything. My…
Halloween 2016 Shenanigans
Happy Halloween! Nothing like starting the week with a holiday. 😉 We “celebrated” the holiday this past weekend by going to a friend’s costume party, carving pumpkins, and preparing a festive dessert and costume for work today. Tonight, we have plans to indulge in a viewing of the best Halloween film ever—Hocus Pocus. One of…
13 Tricks for Not Sabotaging Your Health on Halloween
Happy Halloween Weekend!!! Even though the holiday isn’t officially until Monday, I wanted to give a shout-out to All Hallow’s Eve since we’ll be celebrating it this weekend. As I’ve said in the past, I love all holidays—I’ll take any excuse to celebrate. There’s just something extra fun about this one though. You get to…
October Favorites
Oh, what a month it has been! From seeing family and colorful leaves galore to a new fitness adventure and much-needed relaxation—October brought me so much goodness. I’m sorry to see the month come to an end, but then I remember the holiday season is coming up, which holds its own festive fun. See below…
3 Habits I’ve Picked Up From The Whole 30 (And Why I’m Stopping the Program)
Week 1 of the Whole 30 is [basically] in the books! It has been interesting so far and not nearly as bad as I thought. I had a dull headache the first couple days—I think from lack of sugar—but now I’m feeling back to normal. Even though I haven’t even completed a full week, I’ve…
Sweet Potato Home Fries
Give breakfast some delicious staying power with the addition of these sweet potatoes cooked with bacon, garlic, and seasonings. At this point in my Whole 30 journey (okay, so it’s only been 3 days), potatoes have been a godsend, especially for breakfast. One of the recipes I’ve been making a lot—even before I started the…
Whole 30 Meal Plan: Week 1
And we’re off! This is the week I officially start the Whole 30. I’m dreading it, scared of it, and excited about it. Like I mentioned in my post about starting the Whole 30, though, it’s only 30 days of the extremely healthy diet reset (no added sugars, alcohol, grains, legumes, dairy, or carrageenan/MSG/other sulfites)….
Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes with Coconut Oil Buttercream Frosting
Make strawberry shortcake a little bit healthier with the help of Greek yogurt and coconut oil for a slightly more nutritious, yet still delicious, cupcake recipe. It was the end of the workday on a Friday, and I had plans to go to a friend’s birthday dinner. I wanted to contribute a little bit of…
Starting the Whole 30
Monday—it’s the day most of us dread. The weekend adventures have come to an abrupt end; the traditional work week resumes; and suddenly our lives get way more hectic. That’s usually how I view Mondays, BUT! Mondays are also great in the way that they’re the refreshing start to a new week. At the end…
