Scale Obsessions… WHY?!?

Soooooo, I’m still trying to figure out the cadence of the live blogging with the other content on CNC. Today’s weekend posts probably seem a bit out of order, but, hopefully, I can find a grove with publishing. Oy. Blogging life is not like it used to be! Anyway, this recap is actually from yesterday afternoon, so it’s not so “live,” but I’m working on it! 😉 #hotmess Lunch was a throw-together salad with all sorts of goodies from my Sunday food prep. During the week, I’d say 90% of my lunches look like this – I just throw together whatever is cooked and ready into a bowl and call it a meal. I’m definitely not fancy, but lunch is easy, quick, delicious, and nutritious. I love that I don’t have to think about it! After that, I got to work on a post about my OPEX experience. My partnership ended nearly a month ago, so the blog post is long overdue. I’m hoping to have it live on CNC next week. Please note (photo below): My weight (on the scale) went up more than a pound, but I lo

The Who’s Tommy at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre

Last Sunday, my mom, sister, and I enjoyed a fun outing together – just the 3 of us. We headed up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for lunch and a show. Now that my sister and I have little ones, it’s tough for all of us to get together like we used to, but we made it a priority this time. When I discovered that my cousin Andrea was going to be in The Who’s Tommy at the S eacoast Repertory Theatre (thanks, Facebook), I immediately texted my family about going together. In high school, I was obsessed with Tommy. Obsessed . I owned the soundtrack from the musical as well as The Who’s album , posters in my bedroom, and I even rented the (super weird) movie version on VHS. I actually saw Tommy on Broadway back in the mid-90s as well as at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium and Northwestern University (an ex-boyfriend went there). Basically, my love for this musical runs deep, so when I heard that Andrea was going to be Mrs. Walker (one of the main characters), I could not miss it! Our fam

^^Blue smoothie, blue bowl, blue sky! Still having lots of fun with the blue majik ! I’m finding for the best blue color I need to use mostly white/light ingredients like banana, milk, and yogurt and less frozen berries and greens, which turn it a much darker color. I’m working on a Mermaid Bowl recipe! Also eating all the blueberries this summer. Plus peaches + nectarines. And this half PB breakfast sandwich was just calling my name! That’s Greek yogurt dolloped on top of my fruit! It was so sad to say goodbye to Claire (on the left) last week! We will miss her at the gym as she embarks for San Francisco. (Look for her and say hi if you live there!) I’m still going to strength class twice a week and feeling really good now that my back pain is all healed up. I sometimes stop short if we do a lot of plyo jumps and my chiropractor told me to lay off lunges (so I just do more squats) and I’m not really doing any abs other than planks, but arms and legs are still lifting strong!
