YogaFit

My CrossFit membership expired at the beginning of this month and for the first time in a long time I decided not to renew it right away.  I’ve been exploring other fitness options and this week it was yoga.  After two days in a row I woke up on the third day so surprisingly sore! [...]

Feeling Good

  Ginger is feeling better and I am too. We have had lots of changes in life lately, but all for the good. It’s necessary to have things change, move or shift to create space for different things. Often the change is challenging and scary, but usually for the good. I’m so happy Miss G [...]

Twice Baked

As I kid I remember eating my first twice baked potato. I  had just finished my summer job at the Tillamook County  Fair and we had a celebration dinner at a local club to close out the fair. We only have a few choices for dinner and I chose the chicken and a twice baked [...]

Kettle Bell Cows

Just to mix it up a bit, I decided to workout with a trainer this week instead of my normal CrossFit routine.  I met him on the Santa Monica stairs, he was cute and asked if I wanted to workout with him, so what’s a Cheek to do??!  As I’ve experienced before, whenever anyone hears [...]

Something simple

Sometimes I find it challenging to write something I want to share with you all. I’ll always share what I’m eating, how my workouts are going and how much I love miss G. But otherwise,  I’m just not that brave. It takes me a while to open up to people, to those that I have, [...]

Whip it good!

  Life goes in waves, waves of more cooking and less cooking, right now I’m in the cooking less wave. I’m also in the starting to work out more wave. For a while there I was a one time a week workout girl, ok, maybe twice a week, either way, it’s not the best approach [...]

Apple Scone

I heart Cavemen.

Happy Easter everyone!!!  If you haven’t eaten enough Peeps, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and all things sugary and Easter…  whip up a batch of these babies this week!  My favorite food blogger, The Civilized Caveman, has done it again.  He never ceases to please me with his recipes.  I don’t usually bake Paleo style goods, [...]
