My friends always ask me “do you even work?!”
Ah, the beach life…
I work for myself, which means flexibility. It’s something I value above all else. I go to the gym when I want, I basically alternate between PJs and gym clothes, and – best of all – I can work from anywhere.
One of my favorite types of posts to read are “day in the life” stories. Today I thought I’d try my hand at one, along with the usual WIAW post.

Serena Williams is a beast.
(In the best way possible.)
I was on the elliptical (effing cardio) reading an interview with Serena Williams… and nearly stopped in my tracks when I read this quote:
I hate losing more than I like winning.”

This Greek-inspired, quick and easy Baked Feta & Chicken Recipe is packed with flavor. A small amount of rich feta cheese over lean chicken adds a big punch of flavor without adding a ton of calories and fat.

I’m the most competitive person I know.
With the exception of Vegas.
As women, it seems we often have a hard time with competition. We’re too worried about being nice, well-liked, feminine… it reminds me of a quote I read long ago that went something like: Why is a woman a bitch and man is strong?
One of the most competitive women I’ve ever seen died yesterday at 64, just 5 years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. She even coached and won the year she was diagnosed. That’s something I loved about Pat Summitt. She wasn’t afraid of being competitive and fighting to win. She knew that competitive drive is what makes you great.

We’re big pizza fans.
But who isn’t?!
When I saw that this month’s Recipe Redux topic was to celebrate another ReDuxer, I knew immediately I was going with the pesto flatbread from the walnut round up.
At least once a week some form of pizza happens in my house. Vegas would eat if for every meal if I let her! Pizza, flatbread… same difference, no? I added my own #strangebutgood twist by making it a Walnut Pesto & Shrimp Cauliflower Crust Flatbread.

I’m at a loss for what to say this week.
This weekend doesn’t seem real.
What happened in Orlando… I just can’t comprehend how someone could be so evil.
Vegas and I were at THAT CLUB just 8 months ago. We’d gone to Orlando to play in a softball tournament. Our team won second place, and that’s where we went to celebrate. We danced all night, Vegas blew out the heel on her shoe, we hung out on their patio, I used that bathroom a few times having had far too many bourbon and diets… it was so much fun.

Have you guys been on Instagram lately?
That’s a rhetorical question.
Last week my feed was filled with peeks inside my trip to the NOW Foods headquarters in a Chicago suburb. I was one of 7 lucky FitFluential bloggers that spend 2 days immersed in NOW, getting an insider look at the company and their passion for providing high-quality, affordable products.
But first, schwag:
At the end of this post, there is an opportunity for YOU to win ALL of these goodies too. It’s filled with supplements, gluten free-pasta, sugar-free sweetener, and even an oil diffuser!…
I’m starving.
Thank you, incessant cardio.
I began my day meeting a new client, then I had to go to Whole Foods. There was one right next door to my meeting… I couldn’t help myself.
It was a new-to-me location, so I wandered aimlessly for a good while taking pics of fun things like sparkling wine in a can. I miiiiiight have purchased a 4-pack. Curiosity killed the cat.
