I've got a fresh week of dinner meal ideas lined up, along with my fitness plans for you! Workout wise, I am working through some knee issues. I've had some sharp pain on the side of my right knee here and there lately, almost like a pinched nerve. Last Thursday, I had cut a 20 min Peloton run short, then it was fine on Friday. I decided to try the 10k race I had on the calendar on Saturday, and had to stop at mile 2 (it was an out and back) because my knee started hurting again. It was the Read More
Workout + Meal Plan, Instant Pot Edition: Week of August 8-14
Last week, we were in northern Wisconsin, enjoying some family time. But this week, I am back at it with the weekly workout and meal plan for you guys! In my last meal plan post, I mentioned our friendly domestic debate over which kitchen appliance to add to our arsenal: air fryer or instapot. We committed to trying both first (thanks to our neighbors for letting us borrow them for a test run!). This week, is all about the instapot. Personally, I think this is what we will end up Read More

Sweat, sunshine and smiles...doesn't get much better than that! On this week's workout and meal plan: So my husband and I have been eyeing up the instapot and air fryer lately. We only want to purchase one and are trying to decide.

Back at it with a fresh workout and meal plan for the week ahead! Hey, it's all about balance, right?!

But regardless, these meals are all going to be quite tasty, with some easy standbys and a few new recipes mixed in: White Read More
Workout + Meal Plan: Week of July 8, 2019
I'm trying something new on the blog: Over on Instagram, I asked if you'd be interested in seeing a weekly blog post about my workout and meal plan...and I heard back that you wanted it. So here it is! Personally, I love reading other bloggers' plans for the week...it gives me motivation and ideas for my own menu and fitness. And I figure if I share my plans, it will keep me accountable too. I typically plan my menus to start on Wednesdays, which is also when I grocery shop. It's also Read More
