Something to Brighten Your Day

How about we start today off with a beautiful photo to brighten your Monday?  I picked up a bunch of Minnesota grown flowers at Whole Foods yesterday because they were too beautiful not to purchase.

Perfection.

The flowers made me smile first thing this morning so hopefully they serve the same purpose to you, too.

Back to yesterday [...]

All About the Layers

Sometimes the best meals come from the times where you throw things together on the fly.  They also get pulled together from the times that you have to be creative when you are trying to eat up your freezer and cupboard and are severely lacking any form of fruit or veggies.

I stared blankly into the [...]

Absent Minded

Happy THURSDAY!  Doesn’t it feel great knowing that it is already the day before Friday, rather than Wednesday?  I sure think so.  Who’s with me on rallying for having a four day work week year round?  Wouldn’t that be nice?  But alas, I think we are stuck with 5 days. Rats.

I’m pretty excited that the [...]

Quivering

My whole body, but mostly my legs and booty, is quivering as I type this post.  I’m not scared of my day ahead, there is nothing medically wrong with me, but something did cause this to happen… Gina’s Summer Shape Up.  I’ve said it once but I’ll say it again…holy crap, I am so thankful [...]

Feeling It Today

My legs and rear are feeling a burn today! 

After partaking in one of Gina’s lower body workouts from her Summer Shape Up plan yesterday morning, I knew I was going to be sore this morning.  I actually thought I was going to be more sore than I currently am, so maybe my lower body is [...]

Wacky Wednesday

Good morning!  We’ve reached the halfway point in our week.  I always think a busy work week= time flying by.  I mean, time does fly by when you are having fun and all.

This morning during my workout, time was definitely not flying by.  More like time was brutally passing, second by second, while [...]

My Last Run...

Good morning! Happy hump day!

Last night was spent looking at *possibly* our next pad. So exciting! There are some major pros and a few cons to the place, so we’ve got some thinking to do! My four biggest pros? State of the art gym (we are talking treadmills with tvs people), very dog friendly (Petrie [...]

Easy Peasy Pesto Pasta Salad

Good morning and happy Tuesday!  Sadly, our long weekend is over… but at least it isn’t Monday! You’ve got to look at the positive side of everything.

This week is starting off on a pretty good note so far.  I got in a easy 45 minute elliptical workout and the sun is shining!  One [...]

Mini Bar Crawl

Good morning folks!  Isn’t it nice knowing that we have another day off after today?  I’ve decided (95% sure) to not go to work tomorrow and enjoy my day off.  We get some pretty random days off which I don’t mind working those, in exchange for a free floater day.  However, Memorial Day is just [...]

We Go Together Like...

Happy Tuesday!  How is your morning treating you?  Pretty good over here.

I started my day with a 45 minute session on the elliptical, followed by about 15 minutes of upper body weight training.  I will and can improve in the weight training area and I think I can learn to enjoy it, too.  Or at [...]
