Holiday Sips

I love all the fun holiday flavors.. peppermint, gingerbread, eggnog, mint chocolate.. love love love! Unfortunately most of the time they come in not-so-healthy mediums. Of course a cookie here, a candy cane there and perhaps a little eggnog won’t do too much harm.. but I’ve never been particularly great at moderation.. especially when it comes to such yummy treats! So I’m always looking for healthier...

Meet-up & Sweet Potato Protein Cookies

Hi everyone! Long time no chat Hope your December is off to a beautiful start. The weather here in Austin has been pretty crazy, so I can’t say it feels much like the holidays, but trying to make the best of it. So where to begin.. so much has been going on, but at the same time I’m in this crazy limbo.. lots of potentially exciting things are up in the air, and only time will tell how it will all play out. With...

Just Life

What up buttercups? For some reason that greeting’s been going through my head all weekend.. It has been one crazy week.. but lots of good stuff. On the Fitness front, I’m still very much getting back into the fitness groove and my daily crazy soreness reminds me of it! But you know I love it. And as far as motivation goes, I couldn’t ask for much more, because I’ve been watching the Fitness America...

Apple a Day

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! So far mine has been great, but in order for it to stay that way, I actually need to get some work done today  Yesterday ended up being just how I like a Saturday to be: good workout, good food, football and friends. I started the day running a few fun errands (oh how I love World Market.. if you haven’t been, they have a few of the fun Sugar-Free Syrups, including the...

Fitness & Fall

Good morning! These days when people ask me what I do, I generally pause and saying, “well…” haha that’s because I do bunch of different things. The big one is that I’m in the market for the ideal career-starting job in social media & engagement marketing (no, not the kind involving a ring on a lady’s finger.. someone mistook that the other day), I’m a health coach, I have a...

Not Your Grandma’s Mall Workout

My living situation is a little unique.. I basically live at an outdoor mall. I’m good about not going overboard with the convenience of all the shops and restaurants, and I love being able to walk to coffee shops and big bookstores. It does however create potentially awkward outdoor workouts. For example, yesterday, I did sprints along the back of the parking lot, and only got a few strange looks. But then it...

Oh Wendy

Seems to me, Wendy should probably cut back from eating at her namesake  (Grown up Wendy stars in Wendy’s TV Spots). Even though the article touches on the upswing in sales after the launch and promotion of their new salad line, the stats on those aren’t particularly stellar.. It just frustrates me because they advertise like this is a healthy option, and many people are too busy/stressed/etc to break it down...
