treats and snoozin.

It snowed last night and I haven’t dared to go outside.

I’ve never been a winter or cold-weather hater…but PEOPLE CHANGE and I’ve been day-dreaming about blossoms and light jackets (hahaha I’m such a loser). Here’s a s’cute picture of me and my beautiful friends in Seattle that I’m going to stare at until March. KBYE.

PS it’s the first day of the January Whole30. I’m doing it yet again — I actually feel really in control and pleased with my food freedom…but, I want to be a better cook and eat regular meals (as I sit here and haven’t had anything to eat today….I really need to buck up and go to the store #brrr). It’s crazy that almost a year ago today I was starting my first Whole30, unsure of what to expect, but so damn excited that I was finally doing something to change myself. It’s been a crazy and amazing road since then — I am going to FOREVER be grateful to my J for gifting me the tools I needed to change my life.

last day.

It’s been 30 days and I’m just now learning that you can get a compliant cafe rio salad.

Been hanging out at my barre studio a lot the last two weeks and am SO STOKED to say that I completed the 20 classes in 30 days challenge. #imadeit

I’m in two book clubs and they both met this week. Last night we discussed war story The Zookeepers Wife and tonight we discussed The Gifts of Imperfection. Feeling empowered and purely loved after hanging with two bad ass groups of girls — if you’re not in a book club, I recommend it. img_6148

Also, as mentioned in the headline, today is my last day of the September Whole30. It has gone by SO quickly — seriously feels like just yesterday I was posting about starting another round again. Got Melissa Hartwig’s new book in the mail — will post thoughts after I read it. P.s. in case you were wondering, this is what my kitchen has looked like for the last 30 days. Someone bring me a power washer, stat.img_6149

Guess what tomorrow is.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY. That must mean:Jan 7, 2016 619 My favorite day of the week! I started it out with a egg + salsa verde + chicken apple sausage scramble:Jan 7, 2016 579 Molly then showed her skills at her first team meeting at work:Jan 7, 2016 582 She was the perfect fix to a dreary, foggy, winter day. I sure love her and her sweet spirit. Jan 7, 2016 602SMOTHER HER LIKE A BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITO (yum, that sounds SO good).

Day three.

Or Wednesday. It was hard to get out of bed this morning, partly because I need like 15-18 hours of sleep a night. Really though, it’s cause of this love bug:Whole30. Jan 6, 2016 55 Ate leftovers for lunch. YUM.
Whole30. Jan 6, 2016 60 For dinner, mom made my favorite, a chicken stir fry in a diced tomato sauce. We normally eat it with white rice, but tonight we had it with Trader Joe’s cauliflower rice. HOLY YUM. Almost cried. Whole30. Jan 6, 2016 71 My cute dad ate his steak while doing some light reading:Whole30. Jan 6, 2016 63 Molly after I let her know she was going to work with me the next day:
Whole30. Jan 6, 2016 75
