Hello Hello, loves.
Finally a food & fitness + catching up on life in general post! Sorry its been so long since I’ve shared one of these…
These posts are always just a quick stop in to show what my week in movement looks like — which is still consisting of a whole lotta yoga + give a little clean eating inspiration.
Quick side note: I doubled up & took 2 classes for the first time in a really long time last Tuesday and just as I remembered, my second practice felt pretty amazing. When I first fell head over heels in love with yoga — I was like an addict going 6-7 days a week and 3-4 of those days were doubles, doing 3+ hours of yoga a day! Yikes!!
Looking back on my doubling days, I don’t recommend doing this, especially since all I do is (very) hot yoga. THAT much sweating makes it pretty tough to recover & regulate your body fluids even if your a pro at rehydrating.
Cross training is super important – every type of style of training works our bodies & muscles differently preventing both imbalances in the body & plateaus to keep seeing changes & results.

Life update. I’m flying solo for nearly the whole month while my love is away in Alaska filming/working on a reality show. Our last night together was last Monday (12.1) and he flew out first thing Tuesday morning. As pitiful as it may sound, I’m a lost little pup without him by my side. I consider myself one of the lucky ones to be madly in love with my BFF — we do everything together and not having him with me is not an easy adjustment. I’m staying busy doing everything I love and last week, this included catching up with all of my best girlfriends. Which leads me to say, sorry for the crappy iPhone food pics, but I try my best to snap a pic of nearly everything I eat to share with you all. And also to show that just because your eating out doesn’t mean you need to eat junk! I know the temptation is there, but trust me, you’ll be much happier & proud of yourself for making the healthy choices when you go to put those skinny jeans on! promise 😉
Hope everyone’s week is off to a wonderful start! I’m excited for yoga + watching the VS Fashion show tonight with a few of my bests! I look forward to it every year! Who else loves to watch the show?! xx

Kimchi. love it. so good & spicy
Chocolate Truffles + Raspberry Sauce. I eat one (maybe 2) every time I go.
Little chocolate-crack balls
burger, hold the bun.
Tons of sautéed onions (yumm) + a few jalapeños for a little kick
Cucumber Banana & Ginger Green Smoothie
pre workout snack..
small honey crisp apple + a few dried apricots + handful of raw, unsalted pecans & almonds
these salads never get old…

Sunday morning, pre yoga deliciousness…
I recommend eating with a baby spoon…get yourself a little taste of Almond Cocoa butter & chunk of banana and savor one bite of crack at a time! hahah
Sunday night, family dinner at Maggiano’s after taking my niece & nephew to see Santa.
This is becoming quite the tradition…we’ve done it for the last 4 years. The one time a year we eat at Magianno’s and we’ve been sat at the same table for the last 3 years.
I got these delish crab cakes without the fattening sauce. They were plenty flavorful all on their own.
Tis the season…
to start complaining about the cold & dreary weather. lol
Monday was just miserable and I was not a happy camper. Gave into the afternoon latte which I later regretted as it kept me up until 2am. poop It was worth it tho!
Thanks for stopping by! xx
