Yeah, I’m going to take the rest of February off in an attempt to unplug for a bit. But before I do, I’ll leave you with one more rant to entertain you (see here). Never fear, I’ve got some fun stuff in the pipeline for March, but sometimes I like to pretend I have a […]

Smarter Fitness—Integration
02/01/2013

So I’ve said farewell to a formal yoga practice and I’ve confessed my desire for a better bum. Now, in true contrarian fashion, I’m going to tell you why yoga has been instrumental in my current fitness endeavors. If you’re not thoroughly confused at the end of this, then I’m not doing my job. As […]

I’m just going to say this out loud—I want a better butt. I’ve discussed my dumpy butt before, and before I go any further, I should mention that I am not calling my butt fat. I realize I’m not fat, so let me preempt all the aw-shucks-Karen-you-look-great cheerleading comments. But I, as most well-adjusted adults […]

I might ruffle some feathers here. But please don’t take this as a personal affront against your yoga. This has been building for me for some time and I thought that before I talk about my current fitness endeavors this week, it would make sense to first talk about what I’m not doing. I was […]

I hear ya. You’re all like, “Karen, you wacko! It’s January and you’re talking about sandals?” But guess what folks? It’s the perfect time to order yourselves a pair of Unshoes if you’ve been hankering for a minimal sandal for all your adventures. If you’re a southern hemispherist, you can take advantage of the north’s […]
Read more Recipe: Bacon-Green Chile Meatloaf

As I mentioned in my Lamb and Olive Chili recipe, ground meat will save your life. That goes for anytime, but especially during a Whole30. But sometimes…it sure gets old, doesn’t it? I run through the usual: burgers, taco salad, tomatoey meat sauce, meatballs, even a stir-fry treatment. But I always forget about meatloaf. It’s […]

This was one of the first meals I made for my latest Whole30. As I’ve mentioned before, ground meat during a Whole30 will save your life, and lamb switches things up nicely from beef. It’s simple, quick, a little bit different, and a whole lot of tasty. Just the thing for your busy life, whether […]

So we made it. 2013, we’re here. Now what? After I wrote my missive yesterday, the catharsis didn’t quite set in, so I went outside for some movement. I live a few blocks above our local college here, and since campus was quiet, I decided to do some Parkour + MovNat-style stuff and just explore. […]

Forgive me. If you read my previous rant (see here), then you know I’ve been in a bit of a mood lately. I probably should open 2013 with something more positive, but I just ain’t feeling it. The thing is, everyone loves to talk about health and their resolutions for the New Year. Social media […]
Read more Happy Holidays, and Phew! They’re Almost Over

Happy Holidays! I realize that statement has become a loaded greeting depending on who’s receiving it, but as it’s intended, it’s coming from an atheist with Scandinavian ancestry who appreciates celebrating the shifting of seasons, good food, good friends, and family this time of year. As much as the rampant consumerism and waste bothers me, […]
