Whenever I go home to visit my parents I’m reminded about how lucky I am to have been raised with health in the forefront. The importance of eating well and staying active was a given, so I have never seen wellness as a chore. Eating balanced meals and participating in sports were, quite simply, just the norm. I now know that I was very fortunate to have grown up this way. Thank you mom and dad! Prior to my arrival, my mom had been to TJs to restock the bar stash. And hummus stash…. Read more >

I’ve never officially joined in on the WIAW festivities, but today’s is a special edition, so I knew I had to partake. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch all my food on film (I forgot how hard it is to remember to take pics of every. single. thing!), but I did my best, despite being out and about for much of the day. My alarm went off at 8, but I didn’t get out of bed til 9. I was reading, and loving every page, but eventually the call of coffee dragged me from the sheets. I… Read more >

Well, that whole 405 “carmaggedon” thing turned out to be quite a bust. After hearing months and months of hype, I think everyone was expecting the worst…which caused people to take extraordinary measures (like riding your bike to work and then spending the weekend sleeping over at your cousin’s house). I had it better than many of my coworkers, who were put up in dorm rooms. But I wish I had just ignored all the hoopla and slept in my own bed, down my normal AM workout routine, and driven to work. Like every other… Read more >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence. But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel? Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff. The only thing of note food-wise was how many berries I consumed over the course of the day. I have likely met my Vitamin C quota until October. I also made a pita pie (for those of you who keep asking about… Read more >

M is for microwave, what is your favorite microwave meal/snack? Sweet potatoes are one thing that I’ve always preferred to microwave over cooking in the oven. It’s faster and yields a very similar (if not better) steamed tater. [The exception to this is if you are making fries out of them] There’s also the matter of oats. Although I prefer the stove top version (and always make them on the stove when I’m home), I do microwave oats when I bring them for work. It’s so simple, it’s hard to knock it. N is for… Read more >
