Lynchburg Lovin’
Hi friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a very relaxing evening in Lynchburg and enjoyed good food, fun games, and great company. We went out to dinner on Friday evening to our favorite local spot, Vinny’s and on Saturday, we got to eat delicious crab cakes at Lee’s parents house. (Bethany– […]
Friday Energy
TGIF! I kick started my morning with a short Pilates sequence on Comcast Xfinity followed by a bowl of overnight oats. It was good to get a little workout in this morning, especially since I was up pretty late the night before and I’m not at all a morning person. In fact, my body has pretty much decided […]
A Fit Tip
Weight loss and nutrition is 80% what you eat and 20% how you workout. I heard this tip over the weekend while watching an interview with a muscle building doctor on TV. I agree with this idea. Often times, we think that working out allots us extra meals and indulgence. I think that in moderation, this is […]
Enjoying it for the Holidays
Christmas has come and gone and as I feel the post-holiday blues, I try to remember to be grateful for the wonderful, relaxing visit I had with my family and friends. Spending time with loved ones is really what it’s all about after all. It’s an amazing feeling to be home for the holidays surrounded […]
Christmas Sweets and Treats!
Merry Christmas Eve! I’ve really been living up to my name, Cookie Dough Katzen this weekend! Somebody call the nearest college because I just received my M.R.S.! Haha just kidding of course. 😉 Some may say that baking is bad if you are trying to stay fit or lose weight but I disagree. The best […]
Listening to My Body
Good morning and happy Friday! I can’t believe it’s already the weekend before Christmas. Where does the time go? Unfortunately, I’m a bit under the weather today. (I have some strange aversion to saying that I’m actually sick- so I’m just not feeling great today.) I’ve got a sore throat and I feel pretty tired. This started yesterday […]
Sticking to it
I’m not sure if it’s the holiday season or that I’ve been keeping busy but I’ve been really motivated this week to stay on track with my healthy eating goal (limiting my sweets and eating healthfully so I won’t feel so guilty after the holidays). My biggest trick that I’ve learned so far is to […]
Unique Eating Habits!
I just successfully made a healthy pizza for lunch today while at work. Woo! And the best part? It’s not only edible but it tastes delicious! I just used a corn tortilla (maybe a strange choice but I didn’t have wheat on hand) and used tomato paste and seasonings to create the sauce. Then, I just piled […]
Fueling Up at Breakfast
I got a move on and headed straight to the gym this morning- I just brushed my teeth, washed my face, and threw on my exercise clothes to get to the gym. I’m usually the type to eat something right when I get up so this was a change for me. I was a little […]
Tips for Staying Fit
This morning, I was chatting with my Mom and she was giving me some great advice on staying fit and trim through the holiday season. Here are some of her helpful tips: Drink lots of water throughout the day (sometimes we may think we are hungry when really, we are just thirsty) Always look your […]
Weekend Eating and Fun
Oh its so nice to be relaxing on Sunday evening. My roommate and I are camped out on the couch and I’m about to make dinner and watch Magic Mike. Before getting all of my errands done this afternoon, I made myself squeeze in a short workout even though I was not at all in the […]
Ho ho ho and a Relaxing Night!
Last night, my two roommates and I had our Christmas gift exchange. I got home last night around 6:00pm and after making a delicious dinner and enjoying way to many desserts, I was feeling restless so I made a date with the gym. Those extra chocolates I consumed after dinner may have inspired this workout. […]
