Kale Three Ways

Who am I? The self-proclaimed, “I’m not a big fan of kale” girl has had kale in every meal today. I know, I was astounded when I realized it too. My juice was amazing this morning, I felt energetic and like I was zipping along all morning! I kind of understand why people do juice…

Juice it, Juice it

With the news of my Christmas gift from my in-laws, I’m sure no one is surprised at what I’m having for breakfast today. Juice! Why juice? According to this article and this article, here are some benefits: Your body can more quickly absorb more nutrients since digestion is bypassed (no solid foods). Because digestion is…

Santa Jr.

I’m sure exhausted, but I will say one thing – Santa Clause sure got some assistance from me today! Just call me Santa Jr. Between driving back from Orlando this morning and around 7:00 tonight, we were only home about one hour! Most of it was Christmasy errands, but Ross and I did tease ourselves…

Safe and sound back in Gainesville! Last night was great! Ross and I ran some errands and then stopped at Whole Foods for a hot bar stop before our double date. I had two pieces of this vegetable (cucumber and avocado) brown rice multi-grain sushi and this little box of hot bar mish mash. Honestly,…

Christmas in Orlando!

What a fabulous weekend I’ve had so far, and there’s definitely plenty more fun to come! Last night Ross and I drove down to Orlando to celebrate an early Christmas with his family, since we’ll be with mine during the actual Christmas Day. Since we’ve given their gifts, I can finally show you the very…

Skillet Granola

Happy Friday!!! After my exhausting day yesterday, and pretty much everyday this week, it was simply glorious to be able to wake up on my own this morning. I woke up at 7:30 after nine hours of sleep! I love sleep. I wanted granola this morning, but I didn’t want to make a big batch…

Oy. I know it seemed like I bailed on y’all with no morning post, but I have been non-stop and on my feet almost all day! I’m sorry and I still love ya and am still dedicated to you. Because I’m here and not in bed, that should speak volumes for how much y’all mean…

I Can See Clearly Now!

Sing it with me: “I can see clearly now, new contacts in…”  My appointment with the eye doctor went well. I have succeeded in astounding another optometrist with my awful eyes! Any contact wearers out there? Check the number of your Rx strength – I think for most it’s around a 1-2 range? Bad eyes…

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Oats

Good morning! I apologize for ditching you all yesterday evening! It was a long, rather frustrating day, including a very late dinner, and by the time I ate and everything, I was ready for bed. I will tell you this though – frustration makes for one great motivator for a workout! Even though I incorporated…

Confessions of SE #6

Good morning! I woke up at 5:30 this morning and I could not fall back asleep no matter how much I wanted to. This was not one of those cases where I was going to work out before work – I get off at 1:00 today, I have all the time in the world to…
