It’s the first full week of December! Who has their tree up? I put up a few decorations (who else loves window gel clings?), and we put up a little pre-lit tree, so it’s starting to feel a bit Christmassy up in here. The 60-degree weather today I’m also very okay with. Today’s Workout: 9 miles…
My Fitness Christmas List
Workout Yesterday: Tried out a few yoga videos because my hips need the extra stretching love. I’ve never done yoga before, so I had no idea what I was doing. I just went on youtube and found 2 that looked legitimate: Yoga for Runners and Tara Stiles Yoga for Balance. Afterwards, I did my own little…
A Few of My Favorite Things
Today’s workout was a 16-mi run (time was 2:30). Movin’ on up in the mileage department! And my legs aren’t very thrilled, seeing as how tired they are now. ‘Twas a brisk 40 degrees during my run, and I’m actually starting to like that temperature. It requires a bit warmer clothing, but the air still feels…
I Donated My Hair
I’ve been looking forward to this past weekend for-EV-ER. You don’t even understand. I enjoyed having really long hair, but it was such a pain. My life just became 10,000 times easier. After having 8” cut off to donate, I decided to take it a step further and get some bangs. Not quite sure how…
Studies We Love to Hear About
Is it just me or are there constantly new studies coming out about how chocolate is good for us? I feel like I’ve been hearing about it quite frequently lately. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a great discovery. I just find it funny how the media seems to be trying to make us feel better about…
Grapes and Being Ungraceful
Grapes I feel the need to share a completely pointless part of my day with you. Like I said in my post about using overripe fruit, I am really good at picking out bad fruit. Well, last night I bought some grapes at Wal-Mart, and they are the best grapes I have ever had in…
Dumbbell Circuit + Protein Spinach Smoothie
I channeled my inner Popeye today—I lifted some weights and drank a bunch of spinach. For a new workout routine, I created a circuit revolving around dumbbell exercises. Since I only have 2 sets of dumbbells: 5lb and 8lb weights were what I used. You can adjust the weights to better suit your level. Sometimes…
Healthy Food Swaps and Additions
Sometimes you just need some ice cream. Last night I felt this need and went to the freezer to see what was hiding. Enter Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream. I got it out, plus a small bowl, banana, yogurt, and dark chocolate chips. This is my collection of goodies that make a little bit of…
CrossFit, New Running Shoes, and an Elliptical Workout
I’m such a creep. I absolutely love watching people working out on TV. Last year’s CrossFit Games are on today, and I’m hooked. It’s so amazing how strong some people are. Talk about inspiration! If you’re not familiar with CrossFit, it’s a fitness program that is based on an extremely broad variety of strength and…
I Got Jacked Up and Then Ate Soup
Is that a weird enough title to make you wonder what I’ve been up to today? If yes, then that was my goal! I got “jacked up” this morning when I did a crazy circuit workout. I was jumping all over the place and doing lots of “jack” exercises. Look at the cardio circuit, and you’ll…
HIIT Explained (& Provided!)
I try to include High Intensity Interval Training into my weekly workouts at least a few times. It’s one of the most effective and efficient ways to exercise. Instead of always doing steady-state cardio, try some HIIT. It keeps your body guessing and is a great fat-burner. I put together an HIIT treadmill run, did…
Pancakes and a Workout
I’ve been busy creating things today! For breakfast I made some cottage cheese pancakes, and soon after, I did an interval treadmill run. I’ve got a horrible picture, recipe, and workout for you! Please try to contain your excitement. This also means I actually have content to add to my Fitness and Recipe pages. Aw…
