Gateway Garage Games 2013
Oh, hello Thursday. Nice of you to sneak up on me! We spent most of our weekend up at the Family Arena either spectating or competing in the Gateway Garage Games 2013, so I’ve been playing catch up and trying to recover as much as possible. It’s amazing what not having a weekend to clean, plan meals, grocery shop, and food prep will do to your week! I seriously feel like I’ve been drowning in my to do list all week! Anyway, back to the competition. Friday afternoon we headed out to watch the first night of individual competition. Our box was sending 2 teams, but we didn’t compete until…

Coffee Date
Oh hey friends. I know I know, it’s Sunday… but I still want to have a coffee date with you! If we were having coffee I would tell you it has been so dang hot out that I have been thankful for this little package sent to me from the wonderful folks at Keurig Brew Over Ice! Not only do they have awesome flavors of already sweetened ice coffee, they have all other sorts of cold drinks like lemonade and iced tea. It’s super simple to make, just like the name says… put the k-cup in and brew it over a glass of ice! Pretty neat, right? Check them out…

5 Tips for Relieving Stress
http://member.clevergirlscollective.com/track?u=10185&g=712 I think we would all agree that life is stressful. We can get so caught up in the day to day grind that we just wear ourselves out. I’m especially guilty of this. It is something I’ve been trying to work on for awhile. Usually when I have a stress breakdown it isn’t caused by one thing in particular, but more like lots of things adding up until something finally causes that break. More than half of Americans stress out on a daily basis according to this nifty infographic: I think we all take life a little too seriously sometimes and we can use some help reminding us to…

Project: Simplify Week 1
It’s no secret that I am busy. I feel like I say that with every post, but it’s true! Life seems to be racing by at blistering speeds and I am just trying to keep up. It can leave me in a bit of a panic sometimes. I really hate that feeling. The past few weeks have been more stressful than normal with traveling and such. I am really trying to go into each week with a better frame of mind. Rather than face the week with panic, I’m going to go in with a plan and a mindset of peace. One of my biggest mental hurdles is feeling constantly…

Lunatik Athletics Review & Giveaway
Hey Friends! Sorry for my absence these last few days. My computer totally died. While the hubs (aka my IT department) was out of town. It was crazy. Anyway, I’m back in business with a brand new Macbook Air! While I love getting new things it was still a huge hit to the checkbook… ugh. Such is life I guess! Sometimes being a grown up sucks. Enough about that, let’s talk about something fun…. Like bright knee socks! Remember when I first talked to you about Lunatik Athletiks? I have worn my Rockin Dots Compression socks ALOT since then. Most notably during the GO! STL Half Marathon, where I got…

Weekend Shenanigans
Weekends go by far too fast. I hate the I spend so much time wishing for the weekend to come, only to have it disappear so quickly! This weekend was a great one though! Friday night we headed out to do a little shopping. We are heading out to Texas for a family get together to celebrate the hubs’ grandparents 50th Anniversary so we needed to get some new clothes, of course. Well, the hubs really did need some new clothes, but I am never one to turn down the opportunity to shop! We also had dinner out. I was good and stayed on plan with grilled chicken, potatoes, and…

Coffee Date
Hey there friends! I’m so glad we finally made it to Friday because it’s time for our Coffee Date! I recently discovered the amazingness that is the Iced Americano. Seriously, it’s so good. I recreated it at home. We have a Starbucks Verismo (yes, its right next to our Keurig #coffeeloverproblems) All I did was brewed up one of the Espresso pods. added the same amount of water, a dash of coconut milk creamer, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. So yummy. If we were having coffee today this is definitely what I’d be drinking…. What would you be drinking? If we were having coffee I would tell you this week has been…

My Nutrition Plan and Goals (Weigh in Wednesday)
Happy Wednesday, Friends! I’m so glad we’ve made it half way through the work week. This month… heck, this year… is flllllying by. I actually had a fleeting thought of working on Christmas lists. Then I started getting excited because that means January is coming. January is like our summer, it’s when we take our big vacations. 2012 was Disney, 2013 was Costa Rica, and 2014 is our Disney Cruise! Speaking of the cruise – that is one of my HUGE motivation factors for staying on course with my fitness. I’d love to rock a 2 piece confidently on the cruise. Confession… I actually bought a bikini a few weeks…
