I’m 10 days into my cleanse and things are going well! To recap, my goals were: Increase water from 3 liters to 4 liters/day. CHECK Lemon water in the morning. CHECK 1000ml Ginger water in the afternoon. CHECK – I added grapefruit to yesterday’s batch. Add parsley to my breakfast shakes. 1/2 CHECK – I…
Okay so… rum is not part of my cleanse plan. And I know we’re so far away from Christmas that even the mention of rum balls may be depressing for some of you [sorry]. But with 12 inches of snowfall on Saturday, my mind + body was totally seasonally confused. It all started when I’d…
Kevin and I love our breakfasts. When we first started dating I would soak flax, oats, millet, and quinoa in a pot overnight and cook them up in the morning with some apple juice and maple syrup. A couple of months later we were addicted to cinnamon buns. Then, it shifted to porridge. Then, french…
Hi guys! Technically I’m not “here” right now. I scheduled this post before I left just because well, I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing this recipe with you. At this very moment I’ve probably just woken up to the sound of Tibetan chimes and am preparing for a quick jog around the lake…
Happy April Fools Day :) I will not get tricked today, I will not get tricked today… While I was running yesterday morning I realized that I have a little over a week until my first 10k race! This is so exciting! Yesterday I was able to complete the longest interval since my injury. I…

Meat is good, MEAT is even better, and chocolate? Well, that’s a definite win. But I wanted to do something different this time….
Two of my many cleanse goals are to… Eliminate my evening grazing and prepare myself a proper dinner. I’ve been having fun coming home and creating dinners for myself. Instead of approaching it as a chore, I allow myself to get creative, take my time, and marvel in the silence that is my kitchen. It’s…
Yesterday was a really, really good day. It started off with a Sleepy Berry Fiberlicious Smoothie – there’s nothing like waking up and not having to measure my smoothie ingredients. Then I got to catch up on some work blog reading before heading to my Monday morning spin class. Yesterday’s class was time trials aka…
We had some very mixed feelings about carob yesterday. I had no idea that people could hate carob, but now I know! As many of you mentioned, the best way to welcome change is to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it, that you will do it, and that whatever comes as a…
My mind was going a mile a minute yesterday. There’s lots of change, opportunity, and set backs brewing in our life right now. Although change can be scary at times, it brings with it new opportunities, lessons, and chances for us to amaze ourselves. Many of the things that are happening are very exciting, I…
