Hi I'm Katie. This blog is a chronicle of my attempt at living a healthy life - I post my workout routines, the recipes I try and the health & fitness-related info I find useful. I am not a personal trainer or a nutritionist, so please take the info here as my personal suggestions only.

Living life theme: Freedom, Direction & Love. These are the things I want to always have. No matter what.

I bought buckwheat flour yesterday

and I’m really excited to bake something with it. I don’t know what yet, but hey, there is a pancake recipe on the bag. :)

I said I’d eat healthy this week, but days 1 & 2 were a complete failure. We’ll see how today goes… :/

Who has a good recipe for buckwheat flour? What other kinds of flour do you use? And what for?

I’m excited about the new lineup from Vibram and Merrell! IMO, Merrell is the best shoe company on the planet.

This summer I fully intend on taking up running again. The barefoot running shoes have me intrigued. But my chiro told me my right leg is shorter than my left and that I should have a lift in my shoe. How would you incorporate that into a barefoot running shoe?

Turns out, you are already stupid hot.

Thanks, FitMama!

It’s true.  You’re so pretty it almost hurts my feelings a little.  Your body is bangin’.  You look damn good.

All you have to do is own it.

The truth is, what makes up those “dazzling” people, the ones who walk in the room and everyone gravitates toward… is simply owning it.  They don’t make apologies for their thighs, they’re too busy walking around with em.

These people are intoxicating because of confidence.  Its something you do with your stride, its a look in the eye.  It literally has nothing to do with the waistline.

Now, you are in control of your body (though it may not always feel that way, you are).  So if you have some changes you want to make; learn how and make them.  But please don’t hold off on loving all your awesome “you-ness” until some magical day when x amount of pounds no longer grace your behind.  You are the only one who is wasting any time concerning themselves with that.

You are absolutely stunning.  Today.

All you have to do is open your eyes to see it.

ExerciseTV Winter Sale

So ExerciseTV is having a winter sale - up to 50% off DVD’s. And look what’s on sale for $8.95:

Totally on my wishlist. However, I’ve been spending a lot in the last two months, so I’m not going to buy it. But if anyone else is looking for a deal on workout DVD’s, pop on over to the ExerciseTV DVD sale.

8 Tips for Keeping Kitchen Counters Clutter-Free

If you have a small apartment kitchen like I do, storage is probably a constant source of frustration. I’m sharing this, because even though they seem like common sense, I had a “duh” moment when I read this one:

Use your refrigerator. Canned goods don’t need to go in the fridge, but they, ahem, can. If you aren’t using all of your shelf space in the fridge, shove some non-perishables in the back.

My fridge is nearly empty and my cupboards are full! Why am I not doing this??? LOL

Free Valentine's Day Playlist
Oxygen Magazine Subscription

First, I bought a $20 Amazon.com gift card for $10 at LivingSocial.com earlier this week. Second, I have this wishlist at Amazon.com. I used said gift card to buy this magazine subscription off that wishlist:

$20 subscription for $10 = WIN.

Thirdly, while checking my Visa balance yesterday, I realized I had some cash back points to use. Enough, in fact, to purchase a free $25 Amazon.com gift card. Guess who’s going to be getting another item item off her wishlist?

Good times. :D
