Prauge Honeymoon

Neal and I are planning a few vacations for this year, YAY, which made me think about our honeymoon. It’s hard to believe that we’re coming up on our one year anniversary! It really seems like just yesterday we were walking down the aisle, saying I Do, dancing the night away, and backpacking around Europe. …

DC Divas versus Pittsburgh Passion

Pittsburgh PA at night

I have spent the past 5 months prepping for this past weekend and it was everything I had hoped it would be! Friday afternoon Neal and I headed to Pittsburgh, PA for my first football game against the Pittsburgh Passion. After the 3.5 hour drive to Pittsburgh we met up with two of my teammates…

An Impulse Trip to Charlottesville

Neal and Ashley

When Neal and I found out last weekend that Iowa would be playing UVA in the NIT Tournament, I just knew we’d have to make the drive down to Charlottesville to see the Hawkeyes play. Wednesday afternoon Neal and I both left work early and headed down to UVA.  Charlottesville is about 2.5 hours from…

Washington DC Staycation

US Capitol

On Friday morning Neal and I headed into Washington, DC, not for work but for a day of sightseeing.  A Washington DC Staycation!! Neal and I have both lived in DC for quite some time now but we both agreed that we want to make more of an effort to get downtown, to soak up…

Future Travels

Portland Oregan

I truly love to travel, always have. There’s just something about taking time off, packing a bag, and living a different life for a couple of days. Over the past two years Neal and I have done our fair share of traveling.  Though a number of little trips, minus our European honeymoon, it’s fun to…

Ending Our Vacation

osaka san antonio

Yesterday was the perfect way to close out our vacation here in San Antonio, Texas! My mom, sister, and I started the day off with a sushi lunch at Osaka. I ordered a California roll and the Magic Mountain roll for lunch but was only able to finish about half of it. It was some…

Bad Habits Can Return

Lulu's San Antonio

Although I am grateful for the chance to visit my family here in Texas, it is extremely challenging being around habits I have worked so hard to break. Everything I have eaten while here has been my choice, don’t get me wrong, but there have been more opportunities to make poor decisions than good decisions….

Triple D Holiday Lunch

Day 2 of vacation was a success!! I start the day out with a 30 minute workout on the Arc Trainer in my new Running Skirts long sleeve Cerise v-neck.  I am in love with this top.  I love the length, the fact that it has thumb holes, it’s v-neck, and it has roll over…

Our Honeymoon: Berlin Germany

Berlin Bear

It has been a while since I shared a honeymoon post, so I thought I’d take you on a photo journey today of our day in Berlin, Germany. After time in Amsterdam and Southwest Germany, Neal and I took the train to Berlin for the 24 hour stay. Berlin was a humbling city, filled with…

Neal’s Stomping Grounds

Wheel Sculpture Iowa

Yesterday afternoon, Neal took me on a tour of his hometown of Lynnville, Iowa. Neal literally grew up on a farm in an old school house that his dad renovated. The land around the house was so beautiful and I loved seeing how drastically different it was from DC.  As we toured the land, Neal…

Post Wedding Celebration

Party Finger Foods

I wish I could start off my saying, “I have done so amazing with my diet and my pre-christmas goals while here in Iowa this week” but man has this trip been tough. I think what has made it so tough is not knowing what and when we’re going to eat and then not having…

Black Friday Football

Iowa vs Nebraska Game

This was my first year since I was 12 years old that I didn’t go Black Friday shopping at 4AM. It was a little weird and definitely reaffirmed my love for the crazy morning of shopping, drinking coffee, eating breakfast with my friends/family, and then napping my early afternoon away. Yesterday morning, Neal and I…

Thanksgiving in Iowa

Main Street Grinnell Iowa

Yesterday morning, Neal and I woke up bright and early for our flight to Iowa. After much thought, we decided to bring Theodore with us, as it’s probably our only chance to travel with him since he’s still so small. When we arrived at Regan airport, I grabbed some breakfast for Neal and I at…

Boston Bound

Metro Train

Thursday afternoon I headed to the airport for my trip to Reebok Headquarters. As I wasn’t going to have dinner until 8:30PM or later, I searched high and low for a Weight Watchers point friendly snack at the airport.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to be honest.  Foods that…
