Big Fitness Update!

June 12, 2017

Happy Monday Guys!

At the beginning of the year I told you all about my fitness goals for 2017 here. I started the year off strong with a few different workout classes (Reformer, CrossFit, and Cycling) in January and February. In March and April I incorporated more regular running into my workouts. Well in the past month I’ve kicked things into overdrive by making a drastic change to my fitness regimen. If you watch my stories on Instagram you probably already know what I did. Continue Reading

Go Gymless with Tracey Mallett’s Functional Intensity Training

May 29, 2017

Happy Monday Guys!

Three day weekends are a thing of beauty. I’ve spent mine researching jobs, applying for jobs, and praying for a job (Ha!). But not just any job, the job that God is preparing just for me (or better yet, is preparing me for it). I also did some work for my summer research gig, and picked up brunch to go from this restaurant called Relish in Raleigh that I checked out last weekend. Their food is good!

It’s been a little while since my last Go Gymless post and I couldn’t leave you hanging. Especially not now, since this weekend marks the unofficial start to summer.

A Little Bit of Lace

May 22, 2017

Happy Monday Guys!

How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty low key. I did some grocery shopping, applied for some jobs, caught up on some tv shows, and tried a new brunch spot. All in all, no complaints.

What else do I have no complaints about? This romper. In fact I’m in love with it. Continue Reading

Snack Easy Series

May 8, 2017

Happy Monday Guys!

I can officially say I graduate this week. I feel like that just snuck up on me. This past Friday I met up with a couple of friends for a pre-graduation/Cinco de Mayo celebration. We had such a good time. The weather was perfect. We caught up on life, laughed, and ate good food. Precisely what I needed.

I know it’s been a while since I brought you guys a Snack Easy roundup, so I’m fixing that with today’s post. There were more hits than misses in this one so you’ll want to make a list for your next grocery trip! Continue Reading

Yuzu Ginger Salmon

May 1, 2017

Hi Guys!

It’s May 1st which means I officially graduate this month! I met up with my officemate yesterday for lunch so we could catch up on life. Since we’ve been in deep dissertation mode we haven’t seen very much of each other this year. It was really nice but sad. She’s leaving the day after graduation so this was our last chance to sit and chat before the big day. We tried out this new poke place in Carrboro called One Fish, Two Fish (yep, like Dr. Seuss. They actually have the quote on the wall). It was my first time trying poke and this was a pretty good intro. I also tried their Hawaiian shaved ice. I got the lemon blueberry. It was quite good but it’s also massive so if you go and get one, take a friend!Today I’ve got a recipe for you – a marinade. I love a good marinade. You put a few ingredients together, let your meat or seafood soak up all the yummy juices, and you end up with something delicious. This particular marinade involves yuzu. Continue Reading
