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.
…
I made it back to the gym!
Funny how that seems like more of a treat when you’re injured.
I’ve ditched the crutches and settled for a limp. Crutches suck, btw. I can deal with the arm strength aspect, but the chafing! Lawd that sucked. Anyway, I made it to the gym. I rode the stationary bike verrrrrrry gently and did some back (all seated – safety third!).
It was a struggle, but I was happy to be moving around!
…
There are very few meals I repeat.
So much to experiment with, so little time…
Egg white oats are one of the chosen few things I keep in steady rotation. Egg whites in your oats may sound strange to some of you, but I swear it’s good. #strangebutgood
You really don’t taste the egg whites at all – even Vegas will attest to that. What you CAN taste is the fresh fruit and creamy oats. I used mango and blueberries, but you can change it up depending on what’s in season.

I’ve been back in the gym for two days.
You don’t need a knee for upper body, bro!
I’m trying really hard to make sure I get allllll the protein to make sure I don’t lose a ton of muscle mass with this injury. So there have been a lot of shakes happening. Today’s is a little Easter-themed! In a #strangebutgood way, obv.

Is everyone pumped for Valentine’s Day?
Like most holidays, I’m just here for the food.
Ever since Vegas came into my life I’ve become a bit more mushy. We were both just laughing at how cheesy we are. It’s awesome disgusting.
After learning her favorite dessert is red velvet cake, I’ve been creating red velvet everything. This Valentine’s Day it’s Red Velvet Protein Dip.
…
I know most of you guys are freezing (sorry).
Finally moving to SoCal is REALLY paying off.
It’s been pretty warm here – 60s during the day. It feels hotter in the sun. Especially after the gym. This means a lot of salads for us. I’ve started marinating chicken in the morning while I make breakfast so it’s ready to grill by lunchtime. 10 minutes later, we have a fresh Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salad for lunch!
…
Having a gas stove is great.
Until you don’t have gas.
Tuesday night we were awakened by a pounding on our door and someone yelling “fire!” Never a good feeling (as we learned in last April’s fire).
The good news is that we all got out safely and no one’s living space was harmed. Unfortunately, our landlady lost her art studio.
…
I’m done playing.
For the most part.
We have survived our first year of marriage. We’ve eaten basically anything we wanted, had many toasts, and celebrated to our heart’s content. After a year of playtime, we’ve agreed it’s time for a year of health. This year is about travel, adventure, and being in top shape to do it all!
But first, a last meal.
