Today I surprised one of my clients with one of her favorite treats – homemade granola bars! But not just any granola bars (and not my granola bars.) Do these look familiar? Look a little closer… They are Jenna’s Yogi Trail Mix bars! And they are delicious! This client of mine graciously [...]
4 out of 7 Aint…Gonna Blow the Budget
January 31, 2011 By 13 Comments
There’s something that’s just not right about cooking on Friday or Saturday to me. I try to create a dinner out of my own kitchen 5 out of 7 nights of the week, but that’s about as good as my score gets. This past week, my score dropped a little. Yesterday after spending the day [...]
Adventure Aweights

Friday evening Shane and I went on a little adventure to a town about 30 minutes away. We’d never been there before, and weren’t sure what we were getting ourselves into, but we knew it needed to be done. The day before, I was perusing around Craigslist and found an epic deal for a weights [...]
Accent Vlog/Olog + Deep Condition and Clean
January 29, 2011 By 19 Comments
Yesterday I only had one client – and she rescheduled to this morning, so I had the entire day free!! So after being reduced to a puddle of sweat in my spin class (I worked the hardest I’ve ever worked according to my HRM – and my towel ) I shopped it up. I hit [...]
1,2,3; protein, carb and veg-gie
January 28, 2011 By 15 Comments
(Sung to the tune of Britney’s 123) I feel oddly optimistic for the day today! Probably mostly because it’s Friday, but also because last night I had the entire night off last night (after working at the BIC all day.) I actually even left the office a couple hours early to boot! I had to [...]
Soul Searing Vegetable Soup
January 27, 2011 By 19 Comments
I’ve publicly declared I’m not a soup person. To me, soup just doesn’t qualify as a meal. My meals have to have some chew. A meal can’t be called a meal and also be able to be slurped in its entirety! Sure, soups can be filling, but that usually just lasts a little while. It [...]
Half-ing it Up
January 26, 2011 By 23 Comments
I did it…I finally registered for the Illinois Half Marathon!! To get a discount I had to register prior to 1/31, and since my hip is feeling better I went ahead and bit the bullet! This time it’s going to be even more fun because my good friend, Amber will be running it with me!! [...]
Progress

No, I’m not trying to smuggle frozen corn out of a grocery store. I’m icing my hip. It may not be an ice bath, but it’s a good start. I will be injury free. I will be injury free. I will be injury free!!!!
Bell Peppers Are Back…and Stuffed
January 25, 2011 By 10 Comments
Wanna see something exciting?? A 4 pack of good looking bell peppers for just $3.99!!! That means spring is coming When I saw these bell peppers at the store, I knew I had to get them even though they weren’t on the list. I even had a recipe in mind right then and there [...]
New Mini Goal: 21 Days Later
January 24, 2011 By 15 Comments
Early on in January I posted about how I’m going to pick little mini goals to accomplish throughout the year and practice that goal into the ground for 21 days so it becomes a habit. You can read more about the "rules” in the post, but for my first goal, I picked become a more [...]
