A new yoga challenge starts on Sunday. This month, I'm participating in the Journey to Handstand challenge, hosted by Kino MacGregor and Kerri Verna, and sponsored by Aloyoga. Handstands are a great workout and I've been practicing them daily for a while now so I'm excited to focus on really improving this month. As always, there … Continue reading Journey To Handstand {Yoga Challenge}
Whole 30 – Half Way Through – Thoughts
I had started one big mega post with the meals we've eaten, cost, thoughts, etc, but I think it'll be easier to break it down into seperate posts. This coming Thursday (2 days from now) will be the start of week 4. It's kind of crazy that time went so fast, but it also seems … Continue reading Whole 30 – Half Way Through – Thoughts
What I ate Wednesday on the Whole30
Today marks the first day of week 3 of my Whole30 trial. At first it seemed impossible and I definitely thought I was going to give up by the 2 week mark, but now that I'm in the swing of things, it's gotten a lot easier. These are my meals from yesterday (not included are … Continue reading What I ate Wednesday on the Whole30
NuZest Vegan Protein {Review}
I'm a bit of a sucker for vegan protein powders. I started with whey (yuck) before I was vegan because I thought I needed more protein and kind of fell for the "healthy" marketing. Now, I realize that I get enough protein in my regular diet, but I like to make shakes for breakfast because they're … Continue reading NuZest Vegan Protein {Review}
Whole30 Trial
Starting on Thursday, my husband and I will be doing a month of the Whole 30 diet. It's basically just eating really clean, whole foods for 30 days. There is a lot to it, some science, a lot of positive reviews, but really we're trying it as an elimination diet to see if anything specific … Continue reading Whole30 Trial

Weekend Update: Birthday Edition
Saturday was my birthday and yesterday was my government birthday*. The celebrations started on Thursday with a trip to Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, about 2 hours away. We got a chocolate encased chocolate chip cheesecake on a stick, a soft serve ice cream cone, 2 cannolis to take home, and a cannoli cake for Saturday. … Continue reading Weekend Update: Birthday Edition
Be Strong in 2015 – Week 2 {Yoga Challenge}
The poses for the week were all pretty fun, with the exception of Baby Crow. The last pose, Samanasana, I'd never done before and was super awkward, but in a fun, 'glad I'm trying this at home and not in public' kind of way.

Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
This past week started off pretty average, workout wise. I tried one of the new workouts that I pinned (Burn 100 calories in 10 minutes: Do this total body workout at home!) and was very underwhelmed. It was a decently tough workout, and I pushed hard, and only burned about 48 calories as per my … Continue reading Weekly Workouts + Weekend Update
