At first you think it might just be stress. After all it’s not the first time you’ve been late. Then if you’re a hypochondriac your aching breasts must be a sign of cancer. It’s not totally crazy when it runs in your family. Finally, after many “there’s no ways” you head to the store. Then […]

Sometimes I regret choosing to film these kettlebell workout video series. It’s not often but sometimes I wonder, “What in the world was I thinking?” My head fills with doubts about my body, my ability, and my strength. Or it’s hard to find a perfect workout location or the weather is sweltering or freezing. You know, […]

I’m not one to buy into hype.  But a little over two years ago I decided to see what all the Lululemon excitement was about and I bought myself  a pair of pants for Mother’s Day. More than two years later my first and only pair of Wunder Unders are still holding up beautifully with only […]

Sometimes I think we make things harder in our head they they are in reality. How many times have you talked yourself out of workout because it just seems like it’s going to be “too hard” or “you don’t have time”. I know I’ve done that more than I’d like to admit. Working out isn’t […]

This morning I spent some time reading some fitness/healthy living blogs of friends who I have “known” for the last 3-5 years of blogging. I have not done this regularly for months and months. It made me nostalgic in a strange way for the time when I read blogs and interacted with bloggers almost every day. […]

Roadside fruit stands, farmers markets, a raw milk drive-thru, espresso stands on corners even in the most rural towns, mountains, ocean. Washington is a food and nature lovers paradise. At least in the summer.  Getting food this week has been a fun adventure! There has been an abundance of Rainer cherries and berries galore. We […]

I workout with leaves, dirt, and bugs. I’ll take a beetle crawling across my toes over a stinky sweat drenched bench. Hypothetically anyway. Yes, nature is my gym. The last few weeks have gifted us with some of the best nature has to offer. Here are the highlights minus all the biking and hiking we’ve done. In Yellowstone […]

When I  love something I want to share it. In my last post, I mentioned that I’m doing a summer yoga challenge and I’ve been using an app called Yoga Studio. Yoga Studio is the best yoga app I’ve found. It is perfect for those of us who are looking for yoga options that don’t involve going to […]

My connectivity has been the pits as of late. It has made posting next to impossible. However, when you leave the conveniences of civilization you gain another perspective. It’s a worthy trade off in my opinion. This was my gym for a week. Then we spent a few days in the Tetons. Yesterday morning, I […]

I have one thing to say about last week. Amazing. We stayed on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Our friends who we met up with in Provo the week before, the ones we spent the winter with in Breckenridge, came with us. Not only that but my longtime internet friend, Janetha, who I met […]
