Over the past couple weeks I’ve been tagged by a few bloggers (Caitlin, Meg & Lindsay) to do an About Me post. I was having trouble coming up with lots of random facts to share about myself, but when I saw this post from Ashley, I immediately started writing one of my own in my head….So here’s just a little bit more about me:
If you looked…
If you looked into my home, you’d see…
tumbleweeds of dog fur rolling down the hallway
an ever-expanding home gym in the basement
a pile of mail, some dirty dishes and a vase full of flowers on the couter
a pile of scrapbooks filled with memories
a collection of mismatched plates, jars & other food blogger props
a husband dancing around like an idiot, just to see me smile…
If you looked into my car, you’d see…
a dirty apron and a name badge so I don’t forget them on my way to work
an extra pair of shorts, a t shirt and tennis shoes, because you never know when you might have time for a workout
a rust spot from when I tried to parallel park in college & backed into a truck
a clean towel in case I get caught in the rain
2 pairs of sunglasses, a coffee mug and a pile of papers because I’m terrible at remembering to bring things inside
A single earring because the other one fell below my seat about 6 months ago and I’m too lazy to fish it out
the dog’s favorite tennis ball so we’re always ready for a trip to the dog park
the colorful wooden spoon my mom gave me the day I moved out of the house for good, to always remind me of home
If you looked into my gmail, you’d see…
countless blog-related emails
followup messages as I try to organize my potential internships
tons of junk emails that I’m too lazy to unsubscribe from
a million daily deals that I still don’t have the money to buy
an email from a good friend so i never forget how lucky i am to have her
If you looked into my phone, you’d see…
hundreds of pictures of my animals
snapshots of random things I eat
photos of my hubby and voicemail messages that never fail make me smile
pictures from trips of taken and days I’ve loved, so I never forget what makes me who I am
If you looked into my head, you’d see..
shadows of worry and self doubt about the future
snippets of pride each time i do a killer workout and survive
a never-ending list of things I need to do, recipes I want to make, workouts I want to try and places I want to visit
memories of fun times with friends, both near and far
a newly developed confidence in myself
If you looked into my heart, you’d see..
a fierce desire to share my passion for health and nutrition with others
an indescribable amount of love for my husband, family & friends
an aching sadness because I know that I can’t fix everything that’s wrong with the world
an overwhelming amount of love for my abandoned shelter pets
the crazy amount of happiness I get from helping others
the courage to follow my dreams…
Your turn! What would I see if I looked into your ___________?!
Yesterday’s workout:
Put together a tabata workout to try out my new gymboss timer! Inspired by this flamingo workout:
This workout was a fun way to change it up. I enjoyed the challenge of doing things like shoulder presses on one leg. I used 15# dbs for most of the exercises, 25# db for the deadlifts.
Today’s Workout:
Hit the treadmill for some intervals. I chose 8.5 as my fast running speed and 4.5 as my recovery speed. I wanted to cover 3 miles. Here’s what I did:
Pin It
This workout was great! It pushed me but was still doable.
I was definitely tired by mile 3 which is why I slowed down my fast run speed…
but I still finished the 3 miles in 27:00 minutes.

Great post!!! Right now, if you looked into my head, you’d see a million thoughts running around related to our move and trying to sell our house! Eeek!! 😉
This is SO adorable! Is that really your house because it’s amazing. What is your day job that you have an apron for?
yep, that is indeed my house 🙂 i work as a diet aide at an assisted living facility a few nights a week!
Love it, so cute!!
This is so awesome! If you looked into my house you would definitely see a bunch of mismatched dishes too. 😉 And also an overflowing pantry full of a ridiculous amount of grains, flours, seeds, nut butters, etc haha.
sounds like my kinda pantry!!!
This post is so adorable! I love it.
Your house is gorgeous. Seriously. And you’re one of the few people I’ve ever seen that can pull off those heart-shaped glasses. Jealous!
haha well thank you. i think they’re pretty stylish 😉
Such a great post Linds! Are you trying to do your internship in Columbus? And I love the outside of your house! I too worry about the future and I definitely doubt myself, but for what it is worth- you are such an awesome person and I think that you will succeed in whatever you do!
yep…trying to stay here. applying to osu and then some distance internships. and thanks so much for your kind words 🙂 you’re the best!
love this post!
right now, if you looked in my apartment you’d see: countless dog toys and bones scattered all over the floors; a dirty dishes explosion from perfecting two recipes this morning; me, unshowered and with crazy hair; a ridiculous pile of receipts waiting for me to update our budget, my husband playing video games
and definitely the mismatched dishes/napkins/placemats for blog pictures. 🙂
ooooh can’t wait to see the recipes!
Love this! And I’m so glad that my car looks like someone else’s!
my hubby is constantly telling me to clean up my car!
Oh I loved this. I am definitely with you on the dog hair tumbleweeds LOL. The swiffer vac is my BFF 😉
uh yeah, we’d have to vacuum like 4x a week to avoid them 🙂
I wish we lived closer to each other so we could be friends!!! We’re alike in a lot of ways. 🙂 Great post!
If you looked inside my head you’d see a lot of excitement about my wedding as that is pretty much the only thing I think about right now!!
gah!!! me too. we need to have a meetup someday!
your phone sounds a lot like ours, we have lots of food and random daily pictures on it and lots of family pics 🙂
i feel like i’m constantly taking pictures on my phone 🙂
