We spontaneously went to the zoo this morning.  It was fun!  Here were the highlights: “Awww, look, the turtles are hugging!”   This weekend, I found out that my gym is going to start offering PiYo classes!  I am so pumped.  I am DYING to try PiYo. Does it feel like PiYo is everywhere right [...]

The Husband made me this delicious breakfast. When I sat down at the table, I said, “Ohhh! This is totally blog-worthy!” and ran to get a camera.  Hah. THREE CHEERS for peach season! Can you believe it’s upon us?   I was planning to make this awesome Vegan Peach Baked Oatmeal from the Fitnessista, but [...]

I bribed the dogs for direct eye contact with carrots.  Hah. How’s your Friday going? We are having an easy, breezy day so far – but now I’m sitting at the computer, preparing to bang out some work.   We spent the morning at the mall.  Not to buy anything, but just to walk around [...]

Good afternoon! I read this quote this morning and really loved it…   You cannot see what I see because you see what you see. You cannot know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know [...]

Encountered a major traffic jam at the top of the stairs. This happens every single morning.  The dogs are afraid to walk past Ferguson, who knows it and goes super slowly to screw with their heads.    Made a cup of coffee using my teapot and strainer. Because I broke my coffee maker. Very sad. [...]

Good morning! Look, it’s a breakfast of Healthy Tipping Point days past.  I woke up this morning thinking, “I really want a yogurt mess!” so that’s what I made.  I used to eat this for breakfast all of the time, but I’m on a pretty firm egg kick these days.   In the mix:   [...]

Happy weekend! We spent Friday running errands – lots of car time.  By the end of the day, my child was going nuts from lack of energy expenditure.  He is definitely the type of kid that NEEDS exercise to be happy and calm… Sound familiar because I am exactly the same way, too!   To [...]

Plus a fun and super versatile recipe! So…   When I’m not training for anything specific, I have long followed the blank training plan concept.  Basically, you create a blank plan with the number of days you’d like to exercise per week, and then you do whatever you want for your workouts, with the only [...]

Happiness is a giant empty smoothie glass. Yum.   How is your Monday chugging along? I confess – I don’t feel like it’s Monday at all!  First of all, I had a prenatal check-up at 7:30 AM, which sounds brutal but – trust me – it’s not. When you have a crazy, fun, loud, and [...]

I made it to yoga class this morning!  And once again, I found myself thinking, “Why don’t I do this more often?” It feels so good. I’m still taking regular vinyasa flow classes; I just modify the poses as necessary (no inversions and no laying flat on my back).  22 weeks pregnant, and I can [...]

It’s Friday!  Do your Friday cheer! (I cut the straggely pieces off my rug – it was one small organizational/clean-up goal of the week.)   I am so, so glad the weekend is here.  Did you have a healthy week?  I had a lot of fun Focusing on the Can and working towards my 5 [...]

Yesterday was a fun day that ended (really, really late) with an awesome concert.  Talk about a fun Tuesday! Double Rainbow!   Our morning was spent running around – literally and figuratively.  Henry and I ran/walk about 2.5 miles.  Pushing the jogging stroller is NO JOKE lately.  I felt really good afterwards, though.  Don’t you [...]

My healthy living motto has always been “small changes add up to something amazing.”  I love this philosophy because it’s so attainable.  Even in the face of worries (big and small) and changes (big and small), it’s not so hard to make just one more positive choice.  I don’t have to be perfect.  I don’t [...]
