IMG_2607_thumb.jpg

  Happy Monday all! I hope you had a great Easter Weekend! I saw this on Facebook the other day & couldn’t resist to repost it. I grew up with two rabbits as pets so this picture tugged at my heart strings a bit. Lately I’ve been on such a puppy kick & can’t help but screen shot a bunch of these pictures lately. How can you not smile while looking at that? Too cute! While Easter can be about the bunnies, candy, easter egg hunts, & adorable dog pictures, I was also very thankful for being able to spend the day with my family & boyfriend. Growing up we … [Read more...]

Hi all! So glad you enjoyed the Zucchini Power Brownie Fudge Bars! I promise you won’t regret making them. I tell ya, I could not wait to refuel with my #PowerbowlADay last night after this WOD. I got through 4 total rounds plus 20 burpees in 15 minutes. Talk about a cardio blaster! You may wonder what the (1.5-1) means, which is exactly what I was wondering the first time I did a CrossFit workout with Kettlebells.

Good morning everyone! It’s almost St. Patty’s day weekend & it’s Friday! I have to admit, my Thursday went flying by. I had one of those mornings where I didn’t hear my alarm at all. A usual wake up call at 8am turned into a 10am wake up call. As I woke up, slowly, I laid in bed & thought to myself, “I feel so refreshed…and it’s really bright outside?? There is no way it is before 8am.” I proceed to look over & see my phone lighting up and a big 10:00am flashed in my face. At first I panicked & thought that I had my 10:30am client coming over before … [Read more...]
