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…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Yesterday was horrible/awesome. The work day…wore on me a bit, but the moment I got home and walked to the door, my mood was lifted. The wonderful people at Pretzel Crisps sent me a bag of SEVEN different Pretzel Crisp varieties. I didn’t even know they made that many! Just in case you’re curious, there’s…
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,…
Worst Travel Experience Ever + New Year’s Resolutions
I have flown to San Diego numerous times to visit Matt before I moved out here, but this past Wednesday was by far my worst traveling experience to date. My super amazing bro-in-law, John, drove me to the airport on horribly snowy roads. My flight was supposed to leave around 3:30pm, but it didn’t leave…
A Few of My Favorite Things
And so 2014 begins! It has been an amazing trip home for the holidays, but alas! I must get back to reality. I’m flying home today, and I’m praying for a problem-free experience. It’s my first time traveling on connecting flights, and I’m a bit nervous, considering it’ll most likely be busy and the weather…
Scenes from My Christmas Vacation
T-3 days until the new year arrives!! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty pumped for New Year’s Eve. It’s bittersweet, though, because that’s the last night I’m here with my family and friends. Guess it’s time to get back to reality, though. My visit home has been amazing, which is why I’m dedicating…
Top 5 Posts of 2013
I’ve been having flashbacks to a year ago when I was training for my marathon in the dead of winter. Wednesday morning, I took advantage of my day of nothingness and the decent temperatures (25 degrees; warmest it’s been since I’ve been here) to go for a run around the neighborhood. By remembering some of…
A Few of My Favorite Christmas Things
Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day full of friends and family. This is one of the few days during my visit home that I have nothing planned, which is a bit backwards, considering it’s Christmas day. All I know, is my father and I will be hanging out, and that’s all I…
The Art of Christmas Shopping: It’s All About Lowering Standards
It all begins when you go to a store with the plan to discover the perfect gift, even though you have no idea what you’re looking for. Once you’ve made a lap around the entire store, not finding anything worth giving as a Christmas present, you decide to make another lap…with lower standards. You make…
Holiday Recipe Roundup
Workouts Wednesday: Up & Down Treadmill Run for 1.95 miles in 20 minutes Thursday: Rise & Shine Morning Workout Today: Probably my 30 Minutes to Speed It Up treadmill workout The ending to this week is quite crazy, as I’ve been preparing to head home for the next week and a half. My life is…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Workouts Monday: Impromptu rest day—just wasn’t feelin’ it Tuesday: Low Impact Body Weight Circuit Today: Treadmill run or elliptical workout If you weren’t aware, I absolutely love plants. One of my coworkers is moving to the East Coast on Friday, so I graciously offered to take a few (four) plants off his hands—one of which…
Never Again…
While watching the news yesterday, I found this pretty amusing: Just a little Christmas music while admiring the…San Diego palm trees. Definitely weird to have 70-degree weather in the middle of December. All the Christmas decorations, music, and upcoming plans help me remember it is not, in fact, the middle of the summer. You know…

Can’t wait! And I haven’t…
My Favorite Things
Workouts Monday: Body Sculpting Tabata Workout Tuesday: 30 Minutes to Speed It Up Today: Full body circuit workout of some sort So Christmas threw up all over our apartment (too much?). It’s great. I continued the excessive holiday cheer into my office at work by bringing in a few strings of lights. See below for a…
