January seemed to drag it’s sweet feet, but February has come and (almost) gone so quickly! I can’t believe it’s time for my one month #GlowUp update. (more…)
Facing My Fitness Fears with WIP & grace+GRIT
For me, getting into shape is this lofty goal that always lingers and seems so difficult to attain. Some people sign up for a gym, team, or class, make the commitment, and have no trouble staying pretty consistent. Myself on the other hand, I know what to do, I know how to do it, but I just can’t seem to actually do it. If this sounds like you too, I want you to keep reading!
Before You Feast…Refresh | Easy 7 Day Challenge
Thanksgiving is almost here + I cannot wait!! I haven’t seen my extended family in months [which is so unusual]! My Aunt is an incredible cook + always makes the most delicious Thanksgiving meal. 🙂 I’m already dreaming about turkey, side dishes, and the millions of desserts I intend to inhale. Before diving head first into my plate, I want to take a little time to do something good for my body.
For those who like to indulge during the holiday season, I’m inviting you to try this little prep activity with me.
Time For Some Healthy Eats!
I am coming off of a month (or so)-long food bender. I don’t know how or why, but I’ve been a total savage. I haven’t made an actual grocery store run in weeks and I’ve spent far too much time going through drive-thru’s and ordering take out. I had a little “get yourself together” moment over the weekend and have spent the last couple of days working to get myself back into a good, healthy zone!
Quick & Easy Late Night Meal
Do you ever have one of those nights where you have a million errands to run after work, you finally get home, and before you know it it’s 9:00pm and have yet to eat dinner? That was me last night.
Of course the last thing I wanted to do is cook, or settle for something totally unhealthy, so I scoured the fridge for ideas…
I wanted something to bite (you know what I mean? Sometimes a salad just doesn’t cut it); so I created this amazing pizza-esque concoction…
1 mini bagel (2 halves), toasted
1 Laughing Cow Garlic & Herb cheese spread
2-3 Cherry tomatoes, sliced
3-4 Arugula or spinach leaves
Salt & Pepper
This tasty, mini late-night meal…paired with some fresh cherries hit the spot!
Do you have any quick & easy use-what-you have recipes? I’d love to hear them! 🙂
