I have been waiting for a super cold day to make this.....I think this qualifies. :-) Comfort food and healthy! Yum, Yum (and PS: I did plan ahead and got all the supplies on Wednesday...not sure if cauliflower flew off the shelf as fast as bread did though, so NoVa friends you still have time. ;-)) I have been waiting for a super cold day to make this.....I think this qualifies. :-) Comfort food and healthy!

Hello fitness friends! I know it has been a while since I have posted. This has been one crazy start to the school year. But I just had to post about this today because I woke up feeling so good! And guess what I owe it all to. A Pilates Class! Those of you that know me know I love to run and I teach a high intensity fitness class at The NZone. But lately I hadn't been feeling my best and I could not figure out why. Finally, the light bulb went off...I had plenty of cardio and strength, but no stretching. You see friends, we can do just one form of exercise and expect to get the fitness gains we want. It is important to hit fitness from all angles. So if you religiously run three times a week, I challenge you this weekend to lift some weights. And if you hit the Pilates class three times a week, I challenge you to take a cardio fitness class. Move your body in a way it isn't used to! Your body really is a temple, so let's honor it!

This is the day that the Lord has made! I don't know about where you are but the weather in Northern VA is AMAZING today! And fiveish miles later (I try not to track my miles too much) all my stress has gone away! What are you doing on this beautiful day to celebrate the body God has given you?

I will admit...I used to LOVE a good Pumpkin Spice Latte from my friends at Starbucks. But when I looked to see exactly what they put in that drink...I decided to pass. That is why I LOVE this recipe...I get my PSL fix, and a healthy does of oats too! And this recipes has NO sugar in it except that which naturally occurs in fruits! Super win win!

What a great thought and inspiration for this beautiful hump day!

So I am neither vegan, nor gluten free, but I LOVE pumpkin, and I LOVE healthy treats, so when I found this recipes for pumpkin bars with no refined sugar, I had to give them a try. Everyone needs a treat now and then. Check out the recipe here: http://www.hummusapien.com/paleo-pumpkin-bars/ =4422047

So I posted yesterday about this being a holiday weekend. But holiday or not...it is consistency that wins the game! How will you be consistent today?!!
