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…
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…
Squat Challenge Recap
Yesterday was officially the end of my squat challenge, making it up to the big 2-5-0. Can I just say… [Source] Although that’s how I felt for the last part of the 30-day challenge, never did I feel like the number was unattainable. My biggest problem was probably the time commitment. When you’re doing 200+…
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…
I’m Turning into a Girl + Detox Recap
I’ve found myself obsessing over random, girly things lately. Usually, I’m what Matt calls “dude-ish” because I’m pretty low maintenance and just don’t care, I guess. Well, my dudeliness is calming down, and the girliness has been strong lately because of the following reasons: 1. Ombre hair fascinates me. I got my hair highlighted over…
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…
A Few of My Favorite Things

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…
Crockpot Challenge Recap / How To Complicate The Simplest Cooking Method Out There
Be me. Seriously. I’ve become so good at drying out chicken in the crockpot that the act of eating as shifted from an enjoyable event to a burdensome chore. Fail. (Turns out most dishes shouldn’t be cooked for 10+ hours, even if the crockpot is on low.) If you were not aware, I’ve been working…
30-Day Plank Challenge Recap
Workouts Wednesday: Did the following circuit workout to ease into my day but with a bit of umph. It took about 5 minutes for each round for a total of 15 minutes. It was short and to the point. I liked it. Yesterday: Ran on the treadmill for 20 min/1.94mi, did an incline walk for…

A Little of This and That
First of all… I finally made a few purchases to make this place feel fall-y, despite the lack of leaf color changing outside. Never thought I’d be a potpourri type of person, but I love scented pine cones. In addition to fall being the second best season (spring is where the money’s at), I finally…
