Oh, hey there!
I hope you’ve been enjoying December. Five days until Santa comes!? Seriously, 2014…fastest.year.ever.
Clearly I haven’t been “here” lately.
As of late…
I turned 25.5 on Friday… meaning I am closer to 30 than I am 20. No no no.
I have made at least four different versions of my Holiday Super Oats™ Granola. I hope my family and friends appreciate edible gifts.
I won first place in the recipe contest with said granola (thank you for voting!).
I spent some of my prize $$ on a holiday gel manicure. I feel like a grown up.
I eagerly check the mail like twice a day in anticipation of whose Christmas card may arrive.
I’m not eating gluten, and I splurge on Suja green juice a couple of times a week.
I’ve been wrapping gifts in red Lululemon bags. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I basically took a week off from exercise the week before last, so this past week I craved cardio like no other.

30 isn’t so bad. ;) My workouts have not looked good the past few days because of being sick. Yuck. Hoping to get some good ones in SOON!
Hope you’re feeling well soon!
I started running (the last 5 weeks) only on Sundays, but it is awesome! I ran my first 5K yesterday!
Oh my gosh, you are a baby! I don’t even want to hear it. ;)
You’ve done such a great job keeping up with your workouts! I’m contemplating doing all fitness on my blog in 2015 so that I can get back in shape, lol.
And just curious, what made you stop eating gluten?
Nooo… your recipes are my favorite! I know that was just a joke though ;)
I’ve been struggling with digestive issues for a long time, so I want to see if eliminating gluten helps my symptoms before I get tested for food sensitivities, etc.
