I’m doing what I was doing exactly a year ago.
Minus the whole being married and having the flu part.
Vegas and I are playing in the softball world series with our old Atlanta team. We’ve won both games so far! Last year it was in Vegas, and that’s when I claimed MY Vegas. 😉
Coors is the series sponsor. Incase you couldn’t tell.

Food can be a powerful healer.
Funny, since it can also make you sick.
Vegas and I decided to try out an anti-inflammatory diet for a couple of weeks to see if it would relieve some muscle problems we’ve been having. She get cramps and achey feet and I have a ankle/Achilles that refuses to heal. My fingers have also been hurting too. 32 is too young for arthritis… right?
…
I’m not a fan of wearing pants.
Since moving to San Diego, Vegas and I basically live in workout clothes.
This may seem lazy… I can’t argue that… but getting dressed in “real” clothes seems like way too much effort. By default, anything requiring me to dress nicely gets left by the wayside. I’m not a recluse! I’ll go to the gym, ball games, casual dinners, the grocery store… anything beyond that is a stretch.
When I received the opportunity to try out an online dietitian with Amwell, I was thrilled. Doctors typically require “real” clothes. If I can get a consult in my PJs, I’m a happy girl! With Amwell, you can speak with a doctor or RD from home via your computer.
I literally did the consult in bed, in my PJs.

The family workouts continue!
There’s something especially satisfying about making your loved ones hurt.
We’re wrapping up some loose ends this week in Atlanta. I’m still enjoying my time at home and loving mom’s new digs.
We had a fun workout yesterday in her gym. She said I worked her harder than any of the trainers she’s worked with. Mwhahahah! Here’s what we did:

Arizona is a beautiful dessert.
So many odd plants… it’s like a Dr. Seuss book.
We spent the weekend in Tucson and enjoyed so many sights. Elvis even came along! Remember him from the cross-country move?

You know it’s hot when your shoulders sweat.
At least I wipe off my bench at the gym!
If I do cardio, I prefer to do it after I lift so I don’t get too tired. The problem is that it’s a 10 minute jog to the gym, so I feel like I should just add on another 20 and be done with it. Yesterday was one of those days. By the time I arrived at the gym I was burning up and covered in sweat.
Lifting after that was hard at first, but I got into the groove. I felt bad about being so sweaty in the weight section, but hey… it IS a gym. And I am a good citizen of the gym world – I always use the stray to clean off my sweat puddles. Unlike some other people.

Pancakes are never a bad idea.
Especially when you have a super-ripe banana.
My bananas have two speeds: too green or too brown. How do I miss that window of a perfectly yellow banana? I guess I can’t complain if it results in pancakes!

I’m not going back to school.
That would be strange and not good.
Grade school, college, and grad school was enough for me, but congrats to all the kids (and their parents) braving the start of the year! I’m here for you in spirit… and in taking the strange but goodness to school.
If I was going back to school or sending a kid to school, here are 10 Back-to-School Recipes I would make.
