Saturday's are days for long runs or even the opposite, a lazy elliptical hour, but yesterday I switched up my exercise with Self Magazine's Workout in the Park. First I made an easy, protein packed breakfast in the microwave: 1/2 cup of egg whites, scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 mashed banana, cinnamon Microwave for 2 …

cheaper than therapy
As everyone knows life, has it's up and downs that leave us stressed, excited, overwhelmed, happy... What to do with all of these emotions!?! I do... pilates! After an hour of stretching, posing, pulsing and tucking, combined with deep breathing I feel a huge sense of relief and calm. As soon as I walk into …
A forgotten feeling
Guess what these babies did yesterday?!? They ran!! Well really just a quick jog to pilates and then another jaunt to the gym, but still, those few blocks were more or less pain free. I can't remember the last time I did not feel any pain trying to move faster than a walking pace. I …
The comfort of routine
With my mom no longer here to play tourist, I went back to work as usual. And while I of course miss my mom and our adventures, it was nice to go back to the everyday routine and settle in the comfort of normalcy. Breakfast was full of protein to fuel me through Monday morning: …

I scream for ice cream
I finally woke up with an actual appetite on Saturday and after enjoying a banana with peanut butter and a few handfuls of cereal I attempted some exercise. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill and did a few abs and it felt great to sweat again (not due to a virus that is). (I …
Only to return….
With an early wake up for a morning flight back to San Fran there was no time for a workout Sunday morning. The Charlotte airport was really quiet when I got there - believe it or not I was the ONLY person in the security line. For some reason they felt the need to pat-down …
A day on the slopes
SNOW! Well, no new snow but there was enough already on the mountain to ski and snowboard. We woke up and ate some breakfast to fuel us for the day. I had some banana and peanut butter! (hot sauce not included in this complete breakfast - it was just very tiny and I needed to …
A day of experiments
Yesterday was a day of experiments... For breakfast I was craving something on the savory side so I slapped some tomato sauce on a sandwich thin and sprinkled some "fake" cheese in between the bread. When I got to work I stuck it in the microwave ... and ... tada! Ooey cheesy-ish goodness in the a.m. …
