Irrational Aversions and Pancakes + WIAW

February 4, 2015 By Laura

We can’t always be rational.

I may abuse this with my irrational aversions.

Water sports are fine, but as soon as you want me to dunk my whole head under water… no dice. I abhor white potatoes… but I’ll eat hash browns and french fries if they’re ~~burnt~~ extra crispy.

There are certain words I cannot stand. “Chunked” shouldn’t be allowed on any restaurant menu. “Privileges” makes me relive a lot of teenage angst. While I love my chocolate cake to be such, the word “moist” makes me want to gag.

Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Shake + WIAW

Water makes me pee.

As it should.

I drink a TON of water. In addition to it being a standard part of any competitor’s diets, I live in the South and it’s August. Cold water is like gold. There are many benefits of drinking a lot of water – I did a post on it.

Someone commented on last Wednesday’s post asking how many times I got to the bathroom with all the water I drink. I’m sure she was kidding… but I took the opportunity to count.

Yesterday I peed 15 times….

New Site, Fun Food… and an Epic Fail

August 18, 2014 By Laura

Welcome to the new Sprint 2 the Table!

Thank you guys for putting up with my outdated look for so long. I am no web designer, so I finally decided to do the smart thing and enlist help. I hope you like it, and that it makes it easier to navigate around here. If you run into any bugs, please let me know. There are always kinks to workout. ~~Kinky.~~

ALSO… I added a tab for training and nutrition. I earned my certifications a few weeks back, but hadn’t had the time to really promote it. With the new site in place, I’m ready to take it to the next level. Wheeee!

This has nothing to do with anything except that I think it’s hilarious. Although… if Target had a bar… that would really be taking it to the next level.

No Room For the Blues + WIAW

July 30, 2014 By Laura

Coming home is hard.

Some might say it’s downright depressing…

I fell in love with Colorado last week. I will move there one day. Atlanta is getting older by the minute. I love my city – we have gorgeous parks, amazing food, and my friend and family are here. But I was born here. While I’ve been lucky to travel a lot, the time for a change of scenery is growing near. Since I can’t exactly pick up and move to Switzerland, Colorado is a good second.

I think the goats miss me too. More on this adventure to come!

In lieu of an after work hike, I got my nails done. Nothing like a little pampering to soothe the travel blues.

Speaking of blues… my toes are now No Room For the Blues! The nail color is Wooden Shoe Like to Know. Gotta love OPI! They were totally talking about my nasty feet after all the Colorado adventuring. Not that I’m paranoid…

This WIAW I’m back from Colorado but OUT of groceries. Desperation has set in…

#MoveHappy in the Mountains

July 28, 2014 By Laura

Being in the mountains mandates some #MoveHappy action.

It’s downright chilly in places!

This week of #MoveHappy I joined forces with Heather! Literally – I spent the entire week in Colorado. Here’s just a quick showing of what we did:

Ready to rock & roll down the river!

#MoveHappy 4: Fudgy Plantain Protein Muffins

July 21, 2014 By Laura

I’m high on my #MoveHappy this week!

I’m in Colorado… what were you thinking?

This week I get to do my #MoveHappy challenge with Heather in Colorado! In case you missed it, Heather and I are co-hosting a challenge to have FUN with fitness in July. You can read the details here. We have a lots of prizes and 5 chances to win some of our favorite fitness-related items. Last week’s prize was announced on Heather’s blog, and this week I have the goods again!

First let’s talk about how awesome is is to be here for Heather’s 2nd bikini competition! She decided to start competing almost a year ago this week when we were on vacation in Napa. I told her if she did, I’d come to Colorado and do a competition with her… this time she’s competing in a different organization and I’m taking a year off, so I came to spectate. Doesn’t she look great?

We celebrated a great show with lot of tasty food at Session Kitchen. The server was amazing – she even brought out a special dessert for Heather! Chocolate Chip Blondie S’mores with streusel sucre and White Russian gelato.

Starbucks Record & Illegal Birthday Eats

July 16, 2014 By Laura

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like free.

Or cold, hard cash. Either way.

By now we are all aware of the free Starbucks drink on your birthday. Even though I didn’t get an offer this year – wtf?! People like to make a game of how much they can get – whether its a birthday freebie or just to pay too much for already over-priced coffee. The previous record for ONE drink was $54.74. Child’s play!

A Florida woman managed to order a $60.58 Frappuccino. According to Consumerist, the drink consisted of 60 shots of espresso, matcha powder (gotta stay healthy!), and caramel, white mocha, and hazelnut syrups. She even brought along a jug for the barista so it would all fit! I’m assuming she didn’t drink it all… I didn’t see any follow up reports about her having a caffeine-induced heart attack.

Yet another way to order obnoxiously at Starbucks. You’re welcome.

This WIAW is a birth-day east celebration! Actually, it was pretty mundane until dinner… I was busy at work and I knew what was coming to me for dinner!

I’m a Big Dill + WIAW

July 2, 2014 By Laura

I’m a big dill.

In my head.

Really though. I posted the pic below on Instagram heading into leg day on Monday, but there’s a reason other than humor. Legs days with my trainer always kick my butt. He’s brutal… in a good way though. One of the reasons I love training with him is that he pushes me to do more than I even imagine to be possible.

When I walk into a session with him, I psych myself UP. So much of lifting is mental. If you tell yourself you can and approach the weights with confidence, you’ll be amazed by what you can do. That’s also a good example of how I #MoveHappy. 😉

________________________________________________________________________________________

This WIAW I was STARVING from leg day. I wanted a little bit of everything, so that’s what I had!
