Pumpkin Spice Muffins

October 10, 2011

It has been a whirlwind of a season here in these parts.  Weddings, school, and social life, oh my!  Somehow, blogging has gone by the wayside.  BUT, writing is needed to keep my sanity (or what is left of it), so I’m committed to posting at least twice a week.  Keep me accountable to that [...]

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies – The Breakfast Of Champions

August 15, 2011

Last weekend, I visited my parents.  In an effort to save money, they are now my hair stylists and help me dye my hair every month or so.  What, your dad never smothered gooey hair dye on your hair on Father’s Day?  Well, mine did! In addition to the Garnier party (Chocolate Chestnut, holla!), my [...]

Weekend Wrap Up, and Half Marathon Training Update

August 2, 2011

This weekend was the perfect mix of fun, nothing, and productivity. But not too much productivity.  That would be crazy. Friday, the boy (not my boyfriend, so get it right.  He’s a boy.  He’s a friend.  We happen to hang out… umm… a lot.  Not that I’m a commitment-phobe or anything…) and I had a [...]

Homemade Granola Bars

July 29, 2011

I’m a fan of nutrition, but not a stickler.  However, when I have the choice of buying something in a box and making the equivalent myself, I will gladly choose the latter. Making my own snacks allows me to cater to my taste buds, while avoiding as much processing as possible.  Plus, the goods just [...]

I Fought The Garage, And The Garage Won

June 10, 2011

So, I didn’t make it to Body Pump last night.  I got to the gym 3 minutes before it started, and there was a waiting list of over 10 people. So I tried spin instead. Oh, I’m out of shape after just a week and a half off.  That class kicked my booty.  And quads.  [...]

Lemon Pepper Pappardelle With Sundried Tomatoes

June 9, 2011

I’ve been out of the blogging world this week.  Oopsies. I was out of the country over the weekend (more on this in my next post), and then I got sick (migraines and nausea and chills, oh my!), so really, all I wanted to do was sleep and watch The Bachelorette. Of which I did [...]

Living Intuitively (Or, What This Blog Is About)

May 20, 2011

So, I’m not a food blogger.  But I’ll be writing about food. And I’m not a fitness blogger.  But I’ll be sure to post about exercise. So what the heck is this? A blog about what I love. I love music, so you’ll be sure to know what songs I like best for working out. [...]

Intuitive Eating (Or, Why I’m Not A Food Blogger)

May 18, 2011

  A few weeks ago, I realized that I needed a new blog. I had two: a music blog, and an anonymous blog recounting a very tough year I recently had. As my life became more full of sunshine and puppy dogs and less doomsday and despair, I realized I had a story to share.  [...]

The Worm Strikes Again

May 3, 2011

My love-hate relationship with my metabolism continues… Half an avocado chicken wrap One apple Two packs of trail mix A handful of dried fruit A guacamole turkey cheeseburger Two chewy bars One homemade granola bar A handful of almonds String Cheese …and a partridge in a pear tree. All before 3:30 PM And I’m still [...]

Diary Of A Wimpy Date

May 2, 2011

Over a month ago, I started talking to this guy from an online dating site. Wait, let me take that back.  I started instant messaging a guy from an online dating site. Soon, we moved to texting.  We “talked” every day.  But we never went out. I was growing frustrated.  In my new-found confidence, I [...]
