The above video basically describes my life for the past week. As I shared earlier this week, I got engaged and so my mind is one big fluffy mass of love and wedding venues.

Friday Rant – Fat
I’ve made a discovery – Starbucks carries heavy cream. They just don’t put it out for everyone to dump into their coffee. But they have it. Obviously it’s probably not the highest quality, organic, grass fed cream, but it’s still heavy cream. I’ve really settled into drinking my very rare coffee black, but if I’m … Continue reading »
Of Leaning, Loving, and Loathing
Does this chick not have the best back/rear end ever? It’s an appropriate picture because today I’m talking about my bod. Let’s just be very very clear – this picture is NOT me.

Taking a Stand(ing Desk!)
Hey there folks! I have been neglecting my 3 readers in the past two weeks. I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy SLEEPING. Honestly though, my focus on getting rest and turning off electronics in the hour before bedtime has really left me little time for writing. If I could scribe this blog on parchment with … Continue reading »
Mid-March Check In
I’ve decided that time goes faster when you’re writing about how fast it’s going. Because now, for the third month in a row, I am saying “holy crap the month is half over!” Marchy Marchy – the month of rest. Time to check in on how well I’m doing with my goals of resting and … Continue reading »
Is it Magic or Is it Muscle Activation Technique?
In February, my focus on movement and an increased effort towards Crossfit forced me to deal with some body-issues.
