BREAKING NEWS!!! The first day of summer is ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! It’s really hard to believe that next week is the last week of the 7 week challenge and that we’ll be kicking off the summer. The past 6 weeks have flown by (don’t they always??) and I’ve learned a lot about myself and…
Last night Neal and I went to dinner at Mykonos Grill in Rockville, MD with our dear friends Amanda and Matt. Neal and I have driven past Mykonos Grill in Rockville a number of times and have really been itching to go for a while now. The inside of the restaurant is elegant and comfortable,…
Yesterday was such a good day! Neal and I woke up pretty early and headed over to Virginia to get Theodore a haircut. The lady we found, first through a Groupon, is well worth the drive to Arlington. Plus we get to have breakfast at Mancini’s, our favorite breakfast place in Alexandria. After a long…
Last night my friend Becky and I met up at this AWESOME beer, wine, cheese, and sandwich shop in Rockville, MD. Gilly’s, which turns 5 this year, is just about the coolest place I’ve found since moving to Maryland. Gilly’s has an outstanding craft beers selection, with hundreds of beers to choose from! They also…
Yesterday was a really weird day. Really weird! I woke up with a really upset stomach and ended up working from home. Thankfully I started feeling much better mid morning and was able to get a lot done! Around 6PM I got a text from the DC Divas General Manager asking if I could make…
I’ve got to tell y’all, I’m really loving our CSA! After picking up our produce yesterday I posted a photo to Instagram and had a few people ask me what a CSA is. Instead of just assuming everyone knows what a CSA is, I thought I would take a second to explain. CSA stands for…
After a day of eats (Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble and Mexican casserole) I was excited to make it to BodyPump class this morning. One of my gym pet peeves is when they offer most of their classes between 9AM and 5PM. I’ve never understood that… Are there really than many people who take 9:30AM, 12PM, and 4PM…
We’re half way through the second week of the 7 week challenge!! Just a little over 5 weeks until the first day of summer y’all. This week I’ve made some pretty big changes to my lifestyle and diet and no matter what the scale says on Friday, I’m feeling pretty great. I’ve made 3 simple…
I’ve been on a mission these days to find new lunches for the work week. Lunches that I can make ahead of time and are full flavor and veggies. I love pasta salads, and after seeing pesto at the grocery store I had an idea… This salad is SO delicious and SO easy to make. …
Well the awesome train kept on rolling yesterday!! Yesterday was a absolutely perfect day for me on the diet and exercise front!!! I drank 4 Nalgene water bottles (128 oz), ate 1,611 calories (under my 1800 calories goal), and enjoyed every second of the 45 minute spin class I took! Here’s a break down of…
Late Saturday night I had the urge to go for a run in the morning. Running has always been a challenge for me and not something I usually find enjoyable, so when I get the urge I have to go with it! I woke up early Sunday morning, took Theodore out for a walk, and…
These past few weeks I’ve been making more of an effort to limit my carbohydrate intake and to increase my protein intake. I’ve never had a problem coming up with carb options…but I always seem to get bored with my protein options. There are only so many eggs, chicken breasts, and cottage cheese cups this…
Sometimes you just have to throw your hands up and surrender to the fact that you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. It’s no secret that I’ve been struggling with my diet and weight loss goals. Instead of being consumed by it though I’ve decided to just enjoy my life and to be patient as…
Over the past two weeks I’ve been striving to eat less carbohydrates and to eat lean and green. One thing I learned off the bat is that if you do not prep for the week ahead you will end up eating carbs. Eating lean and green is a lot of work, but if you put…
Yesterday for lunch I ran down to the salad bar at my work. Some days my packed lunch just isn’t appealing so it’s nice that there are some healthy options nearby. Subway is usually my go to when I forget my lunch but the Greens salad bar is a place I always forget about. I…
