Thursday Ramblings & What I Listen To

I absolutely love blogs, podcasts, cookbooks & anything related to health and fitness. Since I just jumped on the iPhone bandwagon, I've become addicted to podcasts. A few of my favorites include Vinnie Tortorich's The Angriest Trainer, Girls Gone WOD and Bulletproof Radio.

Getting Back on Track

Ok, so Thanksgiving came & went. {If you didn't see my awesome pictures the other day, check out how much fun we had.} Now it's time to get back on track. Workouts, clean eating, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! 

It's Turkey Day!

The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived! You know, the day we stuff ourselves & make ourselves miserable. ;) I love the family time associated with Thanksgiving. Sitting around, preparing food, talking & playing games. 

Fun Facts, Friday

Happy Friday! I realized it was Friday about 20 minutes before it was time to leave work! I got really excited... And then embarrassed that I forgot! 

Before I give some fun facts, check out these yum eats from today! I'm so proud I remembered to take pictures! That never happens. 

Broken up pulled pork meatloaf with a scrambled egg for lunch!

Salmon with Pomegranate salsa and broccoli with grassfed butter. So delish!

Ok five fun facts:

1. My nickname is J.L. Frog because I was a very pigeon toed toddler. As an adult, it's not near as bad. 😉

2. My favorite tv show of all time is One Tree Hill. I have every dvd & have probably re watched each episode 10 times. 

3. When re-telling a story I read from a fellow blogger, I refer to them as my "blogger friend". Even though I've never met a single "blogger friend" personally. I mean, what else do you call them?? By first name would be way weirder. 

4. I'm currently reading Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore & experimenting with a ketogenic diet. It's hard! But I have a friend (yes, real life friend) doing it too so we compare days!

5. I design & make dog collars. It started because I had an addiction & the bf put a stop to my monthly collar purchases!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Chicken Satay & Family Time

Last night, my mom & dad came over to join us for dinner. They are used to my "weird" ways & were excited for home-cooked food. (They don't cook.)

On the menu was Chicken Satay & Cauli-Rice with peanut sauce and a coconut curry sauce. I also whipped up some Bacon Chocolate Brownies as a surprise! 

Great Books & Dog Walking Blunders

What a day! Whew. Glad it's coming to an end. 

First up, I FINALLY finished Gone Girl. Oh my goodness! It was a great read. I am a huge fan of Audible. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's $14.95 a month & you get a credit and discounts for books. With the credit, you can purchase any book. Most audiobooks are over $14.95--so it's a great deal!
