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...

Blush

I’m embarrassed.. I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted! No excuses, but there are a few reasons. Many of which are discussed in the half-way written update post.. hopefully it’ll be 75-100% written by the time I go to bed tonight.. Will you take me back? In the mean time, this made me laugh, and made be feel slightly better about not having my camera on me 24/7 : 7 Things You really...

Workout Mojo & SP Protein Muffins

Hi all! I’m still alive , I’ve just been super busy with the new job, and in the process of digging myself out of a bit of a fitness rut . I’ve only workout out a handful of times since moving to Austin two weeks ago, and for no other reason than lacking a little motivation. But the last couple days, I’m starting to feel my workout mojo comingback.. does that make sense? Does that ever happen to you?...

Killer Combos

I can hardly believe tomorrow’s Friday, this week flew by. And thank you so much for your sweet comments on yesterdays post! It really is just a part of my learning process and journey to being a healthier version of me.. but it’s wonderful to be able to document it here and have your support. <3 you all! FITNESS Just plain old Cardio today. I’d planned to go to Yoga in the afternoon, but my appetite...

Crowding Out

Wow.. didn’t mean for today’s post to get so long, guess I’m making up for the lack of posts over the last couple weeks  On to it! FITNESS Around lunch time I moseyed my way over to my apartment gym to get in a bit of a workout. I had it in my head that I would move 3 miles on the treadmill. Of course ideally, that 3 miles would be in the form of a jog.. but my cardio sucks.. so it ended up being ~2 miles...

Simply Squash

Today I was in a cooking mood, that’s all there was to it. For breakfast I was just getting warmed up with Breakfast Brown Rice: 1/2 c cooked Brown Rice mixed with bit of Vanilla Stevia & Cinnamon, topped with plain Goat’s Milk Yogurt and Strawberries.. Lunch was random but it turned out wonderfully. I simply microwaved a Sweet Potato for 4 minutes, then topped it with a Chicken Apple Sausage, Avocado and...
