Win / Fail / Win

Today, I have a different sort of recipe for you.  It’s a recipe for either failing or winning at Valentine’s Day – and not really knowing which side of the line you fall on.  It’s definitely not for everyone, but it’s working wonders for me… or at least I think it is. I think it’s best … Continue reading →

I’m not on a diet. Get over it.

“Have you lost weight?!” “What diet are you on?” “Did you see results right away?” “How long are you going to stay Paleo?” “How many days a week are you working out?” “How many hours do you spend in the gym?” “No, really… how much weight have you lost?!” Anyone who has endeavored on a new … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 20

Two more days of work.  Two more WODs.  Two more days of Whole30 madness.  Two. More. Days… until I head off to Washington, DC for a MUCH needed vacation.  Five Seattle girls are about to invade DC to tourist around, go out to fancy dinners, and play around at dive bars in tacky Americana like … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 16

I made it past the halfway point of the Whole30! Day 15 came and went without a hitch – I’m kind of amazed at how easy it’s become for me to order Whole30 food at restaurants, prepare Whole30 food at home, and force myself to get some quality shut-eye every single night (without a glass … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 14

I am so excited to have made it to day 14 of my Whole30 – and with only one day of champagne-related slip-ups.  I have navigated the end of the holidays, New Year’s Eve, and the beginning of 2013 exactly according to Whole30 guidelines.  So far, I’m sleeping better than I have in months, feel … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 13

Fallible <fal·li·ble> : (adj.) Capable of making mistakes or being erroneous. I don’t particularly like the word “fallible.”  I don’t like the idea that I am capable of making mistakes or that I’m ever erroneous and I really don’t like it when my resolve falters.  But sometimes it does.  Like it did yesterday, when I made … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 10

I thought that booking a slew of vacations for 2013 on Christmas Day would make me want to work harder.  That I’d want to make more money, hit the gym every day, a avoid spending as much money as possible in anticipation of time spent away from home.  It totally hasn’t.  This has nothing to … Continue reading →

Whole30 Homework

Since I slept through Day 7, I missed the opportunity to do this worksheet for those of us who have made it through the first week of the Whole30.  A nerd at heart, I never miss the opportunity to do a little homework.  Here’s exactly how the Whole30 is shaping up for me so far: … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 8

I never knew how long a week could feel until I attempted a Whole30 in the midst of the busiest week of the year at work and the biggest party night of the year in the world.  Some of you might be wondering if I had fallen off the band wagon, as I haven’t posted … Continue reading →

Whole30: Day 4

Last night, I left work at the blissfully early hour of 9:30pm. “HOORAY!” I thought, “I’m going to get some killer sleep tonight.” I went home, threw on some sweats, and ate dinner. By 10:30, I was ready to hit the sack. Unfortunately, my neighbors were not. For the first time since I moved into … Continue reading →
