Eating for Taste
Good afternoon! I’m currently enjoying a very hot (in temperature and spice) bowl of soup. I made this soup on Monday and it’s filled with vegetables, including mushrooms and onions. I don’ t actually like mushrooms so I’m kind of forcing myself to eat the little critters. Mushrooms weird me out. They always have but […]
Mindfulness
I’ve been playing around with my morning routine this week and I’m pretty happy with it so far. I used to have to eat something right when I got up in the morning but I’ve found that I’m not actually hungry but rather eating out of habit and to wake myself up. This week however, I’ve skipped […]
Don’t make your workouts a choice
After a few days away from fitness, I had to motivate myself to squeeze in a workout yesterday evening. I often find myself complaining about having to workout and can be easily convinced to skip intense cardio or an extra set of weights. Since I knew my body was well rested, I should have been […]
Cleanse Recap
I made it through my cleanse yesterday. Let’s just say I’m very excited it’s over. It wasn’t terrible but towards the end of the day, I was definitely craving dinner. I prepared my lunch and breakfast for the next morning and I was definitely ready to eat it all up. Throughout the day, I was […]
Cleanse the Day
I’m doing a one day cleanse today. After a lot of research Googling, I’ve decided to try the homemade drink cleanse that’s made of lemon, water, cayene pepper, and honey. I don’t think I’ve ever done a cleanse so I’m a little nervous about it. This morning, I was a little discouraged about missing breakfast […]
Christmas Cookies and Fashion Shows
Good morning! Last night, I made a batch of delicious oatmeal mini m&m cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction to take to my cookie exchange party this evening. Naturally, I ate way too much cookie dough (the best part of cookies, really!) but I enjoyed every bite of that dough. Oh it was so good! The recipe […]
That Relaxing Feeling After Working Out
Tap into Tuesday! (My attempt at getting crafty and using alliteration to jump start this post.) Tuesdays are never too terrible for me because it means I survived the Mondays. Also, Tuesdays are nice because the weekend is some what insight and the rest of the week usually goes pretty quickly. It’s interesting to note […]
Yoga Your Morning
I woke up this morning and decided to forgo the gym in favor of a living room yoga video. It was really nice not having to jerk myself awake and persuade myself to complete a strenuous cardio workout at the gym. Something about practicing yoga in the morning makes waking up a lot easier. I […]
Moderately being a Couch Pot
Sometimes, I feel like being a couch potato. Whenever I choose to be one, I always feel so lazy after a certain period of time and end up canceling my couch potato plans. I am definitely in a couch potato stage right now (minus the popcorn…for now at least!) I am definitely in favor of taking a […]
“If you want to be happy in a million ways…”
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home! This freezing cold weather has gotten me in the mood to listen to Christmas tunes. (I love Christmas music so any excuse to listen to it works for me!) I am feeling more awake than usual because I managed to wake up at 5:30am! (Who am […]
Sleeping Through Alarms
I honestly may be the world’s hardest sleeper. My poor roommate (who just got an awesome blog by the way!) texted me early this morning asking me to turn my alarm off but I just kept sleeping Zzzzz. I’m notoriously bad about falling asleep during movies too. I have two alarms for this very reason. Also, […]
Having Fun in Moderation
Moderation is one of my mottos in life. This morning, I was really thinking about how important moderation is to me. As a high energy person with a somewhat addictive personality, I find myself constantly learning new ways to do things that I enjoy in moderation, like going out with friends, having a glass of […]
