Fitness Friday: 5 Min Leg Workout

Confession: I hate cheery fitness enthusiasts. Mainly because when I'm experiencing a fairly severe stroke & sweating buckets these girls are swishing their picture perfect ponytails while barely breaking a sweat.  I'm looking at you, Anna Renderer. Sure, you look cute in your ad worthy Lululemon attire & perky attitude but homegirl's over here strugglin' & creating enough friction with these thighs to start a fire...

Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty (but it was funny...)

Does anyone not love Diane Keaton?  (If you say you don't, then we certainly can't be friends...)  I recently read her book Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty & fell even more in love with this beautiful woman!

Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl

 Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia...

I've recently been craving cereal for breakfast, as it used to be what I lived off of.  However, I know that those delicious sugary bowls aren't exactly my waist line's friend.  This chia seed breakfast bowl is an excellent healthy alternative that's just as easy as pouring a bowl of cereal.

Asheville, North Carolina

Last weekend was my birthday & per usual I was insistent it would not be spent at work or moping around the house.  It's a given that tears will be shed on my birthday (despite it being on my 30 by 30 list to get over that crap).  I knew that this would be my last birthday of my 20s & there would be many a blue moment (yeah, yeah- woe is me...)  I figured if I'm going to cry, I might as well do it in a cool & interesting town.  Enter Asheville...

Homemade Peanut Butter

I've had some intense cabin fever the past few weeks with all the rain & cold weather.  While I've spent a lot of time reading (& by reading I mean watching countless hours of Netflix...) & cleaning, I recently decided to also spend some time playing Susie Homemaker.  I browsed several of my cookbooks to make a meal plan for the week.  While digging through my Vitamix starter book I found a recipe for homemade peanut butter.
