Hey guys! Glad you liked the idea of knowing/deciding when too much exercise is too much for the body-both mentally and physically. It is a touchy subject–but I believe we are all smart and can make good decisions based on the way our body feels and the attitude we have towards exercise in general. To read more about it, click here. Also, holler to all book lovers out there 
The best is curling up on a couch and getting lost in a book, no?? LOVE that feeling.
So, in case you’re wondering, I am not a 3x/day food blogger. If you couldn’t tell-haha. Not at all. And have no desire or plans to do that. I do applaud those who do and are–amazing! I just enjoy blogging about living a healthy lifestyle, and having readers who feel the same way.
oh hello
I will almost every day throw in some pics of food, recipes, shenanigans, workouts, thankful thursdays, etc., but it will come as I feel like it should come. I don’t like ever feeling pressured to do something I don’t want to do….so, your regular checking back in here will keep you on your toes- ’cause you never know what I’m gonna throw at ya or how many times per day (usually between 1-2)

And this morning after I posted, I had oatmeal — see I was right usually after a pretty intense cardio workout (lots of running sprints + stairs) I want me some oatmeal

I love topping oatmeal with fruit preserves or honey because it is a little more natural sugar- ya know what I mean?
**a super random lunch later
sweet potato + baked veggies
sweet potato + spices + maple syrup and baked veggies (purple cabbage + chopped red bell pepper + blob of hummus)
