Leg day is even less fun with a torn ACL.
You’d think I’d use this as an excuse to skip it.
If I weren’t scared of my leg totally atrophying I wouldn’t bother with legs. But I am. So we did it. Yes, Vegas even came to the gym with me.
I’m not “leg day.”
…
I’m pretty impulsive.
In case you didn’t get that from the time I ran away and got married…
Yesterday I decided I didn’t want to go to the gym and would instead go for a hike. Not so impulsive… except that it was already getting late, it’s been in the 80s here, the previous day was leg day, and I’m still supposed to be rehabbing my ankle from my PRP treatment.
No matter. At 3 pm I headed out to Cowles Mountain. It’s only about a 20 minute drive inland… but that resulted in a 10 degree difference in temperature. It was 91 degrees when I started the hike.
The gorgeous blue sky and visible midday moon was a nice distraction from the heat.

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.

It’s almost Super Bowl time.
You know what that means… commercials!
I actually am slightly interested in the game this year. I’m from the South, so I’d like to see the Panthers win. It also helps that Vegas is all about the Broncos. If I pick the Panthers and they win, I get bragging rights. Who doesn’t like being right?
But let’s be honest. The best part will always be the commercials… and the party food. As such, I’ve put together an awesome “playbook” (see what I did there?) for all your party food needs.
…
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.

Worth. It.

I’m kidnapping a Swiss girl.
And not just because she makes me breakfast.
Lucie and I have been entertaining Vegas for the past few days. I can’t remember ever having a more #strangebutgood Christmas. We opened presents a day early so that we could abscond to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree for Christmas.
I couldn’t let them go without anything Christmas morning though. I had the honor of giving Lucie her first Christmas stocking!

I’ve become a fan of Vegas.
The one I married and the city.
We escaped last week to Vegas so that I could see Reba live in concert for the first time ever. I don’t really listen to country music anymore, but Reba was my absolute favorite for years and years. I never got to see her live, so when I heard she was coming to Vegas I HAD to go.

Pretty food just tastes better.
Unless it’s Mexican… that seems impossible to photograph well.
When Pretty Fit reached out and asked if I’d be interested in their Pretty Fit Protein Powder I was sold just from the name. Shallow, I know. I’ve been known to buy wine based on name too. After I got past that, I realized the macros and ingredients rocked too.
Having been into seriously working out and lifting for the past… errrr… a lot of years… protein intake. It’s important to take in at least 20g of protein closely following a workout to facilitate recovery and muscle growth. One of the easiest ways to do this is with protein powder.
