WIAW: October Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
Happy Halloween! As fate would have it the Foodie Pen Pal reveal falls on Wednesday… which is my favorite link up day of the week: What I Ate Wednesday! This month is all about snacks and treats which works out great because my foodie pen pal, Audra, sent me a box full of snacks and treats! Thanks so much to Lindsay and Jenn for hosting both of these link ups! Can I first tell you how awesome Foodie Pen Pals is? You send a box to someone, and another person sends you a box. Who doesn’t love getting packages in the mail? ESPECIALLY edible ones! I always enjoy putting something…

WIAW #14 – STL Edition
I’m so excited that it’s Wednesday! Tuesday’s are always pretty crazy for me because it is my deadline for school work for the week… and of course I procrastinate until just before the deadline. Oops. Anyway- I always look forward to Wednesday because the stress of meeting deadlines is lifted, if even just for a moment. This week I am focusing on my #KeysToSTL so instead of sharing random meals and snacks with you I’m going to share some of my favorite places to eat in the STL area. 54th Street Bar & Grill – Wentzville We have one of these about a mile from our house here in Wentzville. It…

WIAW #13 – KEEN-WAH Decadence Review
I have some good news (at least for one of you… ) Rafflecopter picked the winner for the Food Should Taste Good Giveaway! Congratulations to Georgiana – Check your email! And even more good news… Remember the shoulder issue from last week? It is doing SO much better. A trip to the best Chiropractor, lots of rest, stretching, and KT Tape have helped with a quick recovery. Mostly I’m excited to be able to sleep without intense pain. I wake up so rested! I even woke up before my 4:20am alarm this morning for CrossFit! Now- Since it’s Wednesday, On to the Eats! Thanks again to Jenn for hosting my favorite…

WIAW # 12 and a Food Should Taste Good Giveaway!
I’ve been having these weird shoulder pains recently. Like my shoulder hurts throughout the day, but not horribly. Then at night when I wish I was sleeping it hurts SO bad. I just can’t get comfortable. So I don’t sleep well. I sometimes cry in frustration. Then I wake up kinda cranky and super emotional. This has happened since last Thursday night… I figured it would just go away with rest. I didn’t go to CrossFit on Friday and took rest days Saturday and Sunday as well…. but no change. I guess I need to go see the chiropractor… or doctor… not sure which one is supposed to take care…

WIAW #11
Don’t forget to enter yesterday’s awesome WOD Toys and WOD ink Giveaway!! Good Morning, Friends! It’s Wednesday. Which means it’s close to Friday. Ha. This week has my mind all confused – I thought yesterday was Friday for a minute. But it wasn’t. Obviously. I’m in such a random mood today. You’re welcome. Speaking of Random, let’s talk about my food. That’s right folks, it’s time for What I Ate Wednesday! Thanks to Jenn from Peas & Crayons for hosting this link up. It really has become one of my favorite things to post. I just saw that this month’s theme is Healthy Halloween Treats. I’ll have to remember that…

WIAW #10 – Pumpkin Paleo Pancakes
I’ve written before about how I love What I Ate Wednesday because it lets me see what other people eat and find inspiration for my own meals. I recently realized another reason! Because when I know I am going to post what I eat I actually try new things so I don’t bore you with a million posts about buffalo chicken (even if I could eat it every day). So for this week’s WIAW I tried new recipes at every meal! As always, thanks to Jenn from Peas & Crayons for hosting this awesome link up! Make sure to join in for some WIAW fun! Now on to the eats! In…

WIAW #9 – Recent Favorites
Since I realized I eat a lot of the same things over and over again I decided that this week I’m going to share with you some of my recent favorites in the eat/drink department! First up… The FYI Truck! This was at the epic finish line party at Pretty Muddy this weekend… and it is seriously some of the BEST frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. (and I’m not just saying that because my cousin owns it…Seriously though, I’m not!) Payton loved it too! She had to have strawberries on hers. The New York Cheesecake Flavor was awesome. It tasted like fresh cheesecake! If you are in the greater Chicago…

WIAW #7 – Away From Home!
Hello Friends! I’ve been busy on a business trip to South Dakota but wanted to take some time to check in with you! How’s your week going? We have been in and out of meetings and brain storming sessions. I actually got a workout in this morning in the hotel gym.I grabbed 2 hard boiled eggs from the breakfast bar at the hotel to hold me over, along with my protein shake. (no picture, use your imagination!)Then we headed to do a group Deep Water interval class. HOLY SMOKES – that was crazy. I will never make jokes about water aerobics again. We wore some awesome aqua jogger belts and…
