Anything & Everything Friday – May 13

May 13, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Avocado Friday

Random fact about me: I’m a sucker for cute and pun-y food pictures.

Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend? We have a wedding Saturday in Boulder so we were thinking about going up early to eat somewhere cool. Any suggestions?!?!

Time for Anything & Everything Friday. A weekly post where I share five random things with you. Sometimes they are about me and my life, sometimes they are interesting articles about food or sometimes fitness related. I try (keyword there) to keep them health related, but sometime I want to talk about other things! Let’s get to it, shall we? [Read more…]

Anything & Everything Friday – May 6th

May 6, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Grapes could have been wine

Well hello Friday that feels like Thursday! Yesterday felt like Wednesday and today feels like Thursday. Regardless of what day it is, I do not have to work tomorrow so I do not care! I plan to get some serious recipe development done over the weekend. Testing recipes of course, but also making already-tested recipes and getting pictures taken, recipes written, and blog posts ready for YOUR EYES.

But first, Anything & Everything Friday! Today I am discussing my new golf clubs, tips to get motivated to workout, and pictures of our finally-completed bar! [Read more…]

Friday

Well hello Friday! So nice to see you again. Time for Anything & Everything Friday, where I discuss five random topics with you about food, nutrition, health, exercise….honestly, whatever I have going on in my little mind. I try to keep it health related, but not always.

Before we get started, how awesome is that picture?! I love it. A waffle is just a pancake with abs. Hilarious.

Okay, now let’s get started. Today I’m discussing Biju’s Little Curry Shop, dumbbell exercises for your rear, and the best chips and crackers for snacking. [Read more…]

Anything & Everything Friday – April 22nd

April 22, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Friday

Well hello Friday. We meet again. Last Friday I was up early heading to St. Louis. Today I was up early and heading to yoga/work. Hmmm…. quite different beginnings. Either way, it is Friday and I’m happy about it! First things first, I had to use this picture for today’s post. It is in honor of my sister Lindsey Bruntz because I bought her a birthday present a year or two ago that looked quite similar to this picture. Literally has the unicorn and the ninja cat. However, I believe the unicorn has a beer in its hand (hoof?). Yes, bomb-digity. You’re welcome Lindsey. For this picture, but mostly for the t-shirt.

Now it’s time for Anything & Everything Friday. I’m going to discuss five topics with you that are generally health-related, but no promises. [Read more…]

Anything & Everything Friday – April 1st

April 1, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Friday

I cannot believe it is Friday already! Happy April Fool’s Day! Any pranks pulled on you yet? Have you pranked anyone today?!?! Well, good luck. Donny was gone all week which can sometimes make the week go by slow. Not the case. Not the case at all. I was really busy at work and it wasn’t even beginning-of-the-month stuff. It was just plain busy. Good busy, not stressful busy.

Time for Anything & Everything Friday! I have several links for you including one to help you master the Whole Foods salad bar like a champ and still have money afterwards. I also have a list of some cities for a weekend getaway and I have some questions for you about this blog, Eat. Lift. Play. Repeat. Let’s get to it, shall we?!?! [Read more…]

Easter 1

Time for Anything & Everything Friday where I discuss five different (sometimes random) topics of my choice. They are generally health related, whether lifestyle, food, or fitness. Sometimes they are not (um, taco bed from last week) but it just depends what is going on in this head! Today I’m talking about my Easter appetizer, a new workout song, and ways to use leftover Easter eggs! Let’s get to it… [Read more…]

Anything & Everything Friday – March 18th

March 18, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Friday

I have thought this for a while… coffee does taste better on a Friday morning! Well, to me coffee tastes better on a Saturday morning while lounging on the couch in pajamas. But I dig Friday coffee too. How was your St. Patrick’s Day?! I would say mine was pretty uneventful. I did however remember to wear a green shirt and I ate plenty of green foods….as in veggies! I had broccoli & avocado for breakfast, broccoli again for lunch, Brussels sprouts for my mid-afternoon meal, and grilled green beans with dinner. Woah, tons of green veggies!

Time for Anything & Everything Friday. I’m discussing sleep deprivation, my new book club book, and the taco bed! Yes, the taco bed. [Read more…]

Girls Trip 2016: Louisville, Kentucky

March 15, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

We had such a fun weekend in Louisville! We always have a good time, but this was one of the most fun we’ve had together. We toured Churchill Downs, partied our faces off during the Louisville St. Patrick’s Day Parade, toured the Louisville Slugger factory, and did some bourbon tasting. All of that, plus tons of catching up, laughing, and relaxing. It was such a good trip.

I do have a confession. Lindsey informed me that my Friday post said it was our 4th trip. It was actually our 5th trip! I completely forgot that we went to Green Bay, WI two years ago. We went to Phoenix, New Orleans, Green Bay, Austin, and now Louisville. I thought I was missing one on Friday, but couldn’t think of what I was missing…. I decided to commit to four and turns out I was wrong! Haha regardless….. here is how our trip went. [Read more…]
