I eat. I workout. Repeat.


morning staples.

Good Morning, my friends. It’s been a while, huh? Things have been a bit busy around here, which makes the blog take a back seat for a bit. Since this blog is about Healthy Living and all that jazz, I thought I’d update you on my healthy habits as of late.

1. Eats

Recently, we got a vitamix. Green drinks, smoothies and even soups have made their way into our lives. It’s been great to have the vitamix, especially when I’m in a crunch and need to run out the door, but need to eat! I can get plenty of nutritious goods in.

I love having a bowl of cooked veggies, black beans and sometimes even like adding some fresh spinach to the mix. I’m all about mixing things in a bowl.

Now, if I’d just learn how to make tofu, I’d probably add that to the mix as well.

2. Workouts

The fall schedule of Bootcamp is in process and added a Monday and Friday class to my schedule. So Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are Bootcampin’ days. Wednesday, I attend Zumba (which I still love. So. Much. Just try it, already!) The bootcamp workouts have been killer awesome and definitely help keep me on track as well. Somedays, when I don’t feel like I gave my all and was too busy instructing, I hit the gym and knock out a good sweat.

Another big part in keeping my fitness up, I still walk Taxi daily, normally in the evenings. If I even say “Walk”, “Let’s go”, or  ”Outside”. It’s over… I can’t get out of it, I have to take her for a walk. It’s good though, keeps me moving instead of sitting and watching Real Housewives of “insert name here”.

And that’s a bit of what’s going on in my world. What about you?

What’s your favorite dish right now? What’s your current go-to workout?

Painting with a Twist


This past weekend my sister and I went to this really fun place called “Painting with a Twist“, a place that offers painting classes (for beginners, advanced, etc) and is a neat venue to have a girls night out, birthday party, or whatever you want to call it party.

My sister and I are both huge Audrey Hepburn fans. So when we saw that Painting with a Twist was offering a painting class featuring a classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s design, we knew we had to try this out. The class lasted 3 hours and was an absolute blast! All the ladies there were hilarious and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend trying out some of these classes. The instructors were great and helped with any questions we had and gave really clear instructions, so following along was pretty easy. They did say this particular piece was more difficult than others, but they were sure they’d get us through it. I think the results turned out quite nice…

I’m really proud of my first attempt at canvas painting. I think I’ll get her framed and hang it in my office!

Have you ever gone to a painting class? What did you paint?

One person can change the world


“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
-Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios
