Title is from a headline on CNN. New body ideal? Really? Since when is slender (so they’re not stick thin) with big breasts & full butts “new“? Since the last Maxim cover? (Don’t even get me started on the above headlines.) Admittedly, I’ve never watched the show. I haven’t had tv for over 10 years […]

Source Today I woke up feeling down. Most of the time I feel like a girl enjoying the beach.  (The girl in my mind has smaller smoother thighs).  I run, skip, play, and work building sandcastles. Most of the time my life is pleasant and I enjoy the simplicity of my life.  I’m grateful. Occasionally, […]

You want to know how to make homemade sushi rolls? How about how we make homemade sushi rolls because we have no clue as to the proper way to make sushi rolls. Making sushi rolls at home is a perfect date night. It’s also fun way to spend time with friends, sort of like pizza making […]

Iron Man brought me breakfast. Speaking of Iron Man I read on Self Magazine’s website that Scarlett Johansson used kettlebells to prepare for that skin tight black catsuit the role of Black Widow. Her on set trainer Bobby Strom was quoted saying, “but what she really loved was the strength training–things like pullups and kettlebells–and the idea […]

Honestly I’m tired of thinking about fitness today. I didn’t even workout. (Shhhh….don’t tell anyone.) Instead I’m going to tell you about my date. Tonight Brent and I went to a little Argentinian restaurant. There was live music. Brent loves watching live music. I… …love watching him. We shared an empanada. I had Pastel de […]

Salmon regularly makes the different so called “superfoods” lists. (Here, here, and here.) Unlike broccoli I actually enjoy eating salmon. Especially when someone else cooks it. A few months ago Brent put together this recipe. It’s been a favorite of mine since. Salmon Patties 6 oz Can of Wild Salmon 2 pieces of Ezekiel Bread 2 […]

I know being sore is necessarily indicative of a good workout.  I don’t care.  I like being sore.  In fact, I LOVE being sore and I have a feeling that I’ll be sore tomorrow after today’s workout. I just did this workout this morning with my friend, Deb, aka, Smoothie Girl. Isn’t she cute.  If […]

I am not with it when it comes to popular culture.  For instance, I still make Paris Hilton references.  I know. So it’s no surprise that I was clueless when I signed up to take a burlesque dance class/workshop.  I love all things vintage and in my mind I was going to a retro inspired Jazzercise […]

I’d like to think for every creepy internet story there are a million happy ones.  Deb, from Smoothie Girl Eats Too,  is one of my internet “gifts”.  We met in person a few months ago and after our 20 minute turned 2 hour workout followed by a 3 hour talk on the beach, I knew […]

There are a lot of things I love about my husband.  His tender heart.  His humor.  His devotion to me and our kids.  His creativity.  His work ethic.  His sexy blue eyes.  His smile.  I could go on and on but before you gag I’ll say, “Swedish Pancakes”.  Yes, there is one more thing I […]
