My Test Results: There's A LOT Going On

My Test Results: There’s A LOT Going On

Happy Friday, and happy vacation to me! I am currently on the road to New York City, my favorite place in the world, with my favorite people ever… my parents! While we wish that my brother and sister-in-law could make it, we understand that they are doing this pretty amazing thing called GETTING READY FOR A BABY. 2 more months, 2 more months!

Anyways, I wanted to do an end of the week check-in…

My Thoughts On Intermittent Fasting

My Thoughts On Intermittent Fasting

Hi guys! Today I want to talk about a topic that is relatively new in my life: Intermittent Fasting.

A lot of you might ask yourself, “what is intermittent fasting?” and don’t worry, you’re not alone! Intermittent Fasting is when you select a time window to eat your food in. I am no expert in this, so if you want extensive information on this, I recommend reading this great article, or do some…

Let's Catch Up: Testing, Workouts & Eating

Let’s Catch Up: Testing, Workouts & Eating

Long time no talk! Can’t really say that I’ve missed blogging the past 10 days. I’ve had great intentions of coming on here to do an update post, but really, once the work day ends, I really have had no desire to open my laptop and blog. I’m literally too busy binge watching Cedar Cove and drooling over Jack Griffith.

Anyways, I don’t have too too much to share, but here’s a quick update post on…

Girl's Weekend In Stamford

Girl’s Weekend In Stamford

Well good morning and happy Monday! I hope you all had as great of a weekend as I did! My weekend was spent with my college girls visiting Michelle in Stamford, CT, so it was full of girl talk and fun. Let’s dive into the recap. Fair warning, there are a lot of pictures!

On Saturday morning I woke around 6 am and got a short run in before Lindsay picked me up at 8. We were at Nicole’s an hour…

This Week's Highs & Lows

This Week’s Highs & Lows

TGIF! I can’t decide if it’s been a long week, or a quick week, but I’m just happy that the weekend is just a handful of hours away. Not an incredibly lot has happened this week, and I’ve been pretty bad at taking pictures, but I’ll give you a quick week update along with some rambles! We’ll make this a High Low post!

My favorite breakfast is still going strong. Overnight oats with Teddie’s…

My long weekend was a mix of productive and relaxing, so here’s a sneak peak into what I did!

Hi friends, if you’re like me, you must be pretty excited that the long holiday weekend is within reach! While we still have 2 days until we can say it’s Memorial Day weekend, what we can do is jump into this post that highlights my Wednesday in eats and life!

I started my morning with a workout that consisted of sprints on the treadmill with weights in between each sprint. Well, I started with…

Weekend Recap: Chelsey's Baby Shower & Lucas' 4th Birthday Party

Weekend Recap: Chelsey’s Baby Shower & Lucas’ 4th Birthday Party

Hello & happy Tuesday! I had every good intention of having a blog post up yesterday recapping my weekend, but exhaustion hit and there was no way I could formulate a sentence. Truth be told, writing this Monday evening is a struggle, so if I’m short with my words, that’s why!

Friday night was relatively low key. I made a concoction of extra lean ground turkey, chickpeas, random assortment of…

Fitness, Doctor’s Orders, + Recent Eats

Well hello there and happy Friday! I had good intentions of posting yesterday, but the day became quite hectic and non-stop from the moment I woke up, until 7:30 pm, so blogging was the last thing that I wanted to do.

I have a handful of pictures over the last few days to share with you, both of things that I’ve done and things that I’ve eaten, so I figured it’d be a good day to just do a photo…

Monday's Meals #2

Monday’s Meals #2

Yesterday I had the case of the Mondays. It was extremely difficult to wake up when my alarm went off at 4:50 after having a late night with my family, but I somehow managed to get out of bed and to the gym.

I definitely did not want to be there, but I managed to put myself through a sprint/walk workout. I used to do my HIIT runs where my recovery would be a slow jog, but I found that if I do a…

Weekend Recap: Mother's Day

Weekend Recap: Mother’s Day

Happy Monday and a happy late Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful Moms out there! I sure do love my Momma, and it was nice to be able to celebrate our Mom this weekend, even if the weather was less than optimal. My brother was home yesterday from Nashville which was such a nice treat. We hadn’t seen him since Christmas, so it was long overdue. My Mom was in child heaven!

I love my Mom. Each day…

Monday In Eats

Happy Wednesday and cheers to being halfway throughout the week. I’m excited to dive into today’s post, because it will be a glimpse into what I’d like my blog posts to look like going forward. Apparently I had two days of rambling that I needed to get out of my system, but without further ado, let’s jump into what I ate/did on Monday!

On Monday I woke up with a sore throat and feeling sore, so I…

Eating Like A Normal Human Being Again

Eating Like A Normal Human Being Again

I am not alone. Thanks to all of you, you have made me realize that I am not alone in this struggle. And you should know that you too, if you are battling with your relationship with food, you need to  know that you are not alone.

When you don’t have a healthy relationship with food, food is rudely powerful.

You think you are in control, but you aren’t. Once a food pops into your head, you can’t…

Macros Led To An Unhealthy Relationship With Food

Macros Led To An Unhealthy Relationship With Food

There’s no easy or light way to say this, so I’m just going to say it. I have an unhealthy relationship with food. More than anything, I want to get back to the type of person that I was when I started this blog. Hands down, I was healthier. I never would have thought that over the years of having a blog that I would become less healthy, but I did.

When I started blogging, I didn’t know what a…

Is This Blog Post An Illusion?

Is This Blog Post An Illusion?

Hello? Is this thing on? Wow, well it’s certainly been quite a bit of time since my last check in. August.. wow! To be honest, I really did not think that I would be making my blogging return. I really enjoyed not having to jump on my laptop after a day at work, or wonder what I was going to talk about on my blog, seeing as I am a square. However, last month I received a notice in the mail saying…

I Went Boxing & Didn’t Die

What. A. Week. [Not in a good way.]

There isn’t too too much for me to update you guys on. The beginning of the week started off rough when I got a migraine thanks to staying up late watching The Bachelorette. That turned into feeling nauseous, light-headed, and blurred vision for 2 days. Thanks JoJo and Jordan. I was really frustrated that she chose him, but now, I’m not going to lie, I’m a tad…

Vacation: Photo Dump

My heart breaks a little bit that summer is almost over and I still haven’t gone golfing or kayaking yet. Really hitting that summer bucket list hard! I can at least cross off “go to the beach” and “eat soft-serve ice cream” off of the list, thanks to vacation last week.

I had full intentions of blogging all last week, but with no wifi at our vacation house, there was no way I could blog. With…
