Wednesday Bullets

*Well I have taken an intermission from freaking out about my age, thank god. I think I just needed a moment, a pep talk (thank you to all who contributed to that) and a bit of perspective. I worked out with some awesome folks last night and I’ll tell you what, I am always inspired at the gym. I work out with so many people who make me say “DAAAAANG, I hope when I’m their age I’m that fit!” Ok, ok also, I did some retail therapy and that didn’t hurt one bit (Lululemon and Athleta LOVE ME right now.) The upside of retail therapy at 35 vs retail therapy at 21 is that you can afford MUCH cooler stuff, right? 🙂

*Speaking of cool stuff, I still love my Fitbit One. Hot damn, that is a fun little gadget! I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a longer review of it because it is rad and I’m finding it useful for a number of things besides being a glorified $100 pedometer, but I don’t know if you guys are all like “Snooze, I’ve had a Fitbit for 20 years already, no need to review it.” If you are interested let me know, otherwise I’ll just go on talking about it at random.

*Speaking of Fitbit awesomeness, I am absolutely obsessed with the sleep measure function and I have made it a game/mission to get more than 8 hours of sleep every night because of it and I totally broke a 7 days streak last night by only getting 7+ hours! WOMP WOMP

Bar graphs, I LOVE YOU!

*So I know I am late to the party on basically everything and this is news to no one, probably – but I hope you all are enjoying the website awesomeness that is Inspiralized. When I was in Des Moines recently having cocktails (and FREAKING AWESOME poutine!) with Jillian we were discussing how inspiring this website is and I totally impulse purchased a spiralizer. It’s a bit of a clunky kitchen gadget so I wasn’t sure I would like it but it is FUN AS HELL! Friday night I’m making butternut squash pasta, and I am already thinking about it!

*Since we are talking kitchen adventures, I’ve been cooking through Well Fed 2 this week and it has been so fun! Last night we had Tod Mun Chicken Cakes and they were THE BOMB! I mixed up the chicken before our workout, cooked em up after and it was such a fun, exotic weeknight dinner. I’d show you a picture, but we ate off of paper plates in our workout clothes while watching Dawson’s Creek on Netflix. (OMG, we are into the College Years and man, that show is so much less realistic than I remember! haha) Luckily, Michelle just posted some GORGEOUS photography of her cooking adventures and talked about that exact recipe. Go check it out! More to come on this cookbook. It makes me so happy when my friends make awesome stuff!

*And now we have come to the very important question that is on my mind every winter: Do I cut bangs? OH, THE HAND WRINGING!!! 🙂

Happy Hump Day, Y’all!
