Nothing beats a morning at home with Rusty, our girls, and a cup of my coconutty protein coffee... or so I thought until I tried this new recipe and this particular morning got even better! I have been experimenting with chia seeds since we got a giant bag at Costco, and so far, I freaking [...]
Every once in a while, I have to pat myself on the back. This is one of those times.... After sticking my fork in and having the meat just fall off, I knew I had a winner. Then with one bite it was clear. Ok I'll stop gloating now.... (I am just pumped because there [...]
It's pretty rare that I have a Sunday at home, but when I do, and it's raining out, we ALWAYS go to Costco... and believe it or not, it can be really fun. It just takes the right company, the right mindset, and the right knowledge of what the heck to buy and how to get [...]
So, I have talked a bit about the multiple back injuries that I have dealt with over the past year and half, but I haven't gone too much into the details. Here's the post where I dive in... stick with me though, there is a happy ending! Through all of this pain, frustration, and impatience, [...]

Today's post comes to you from the Bruner kitchen. I am actually shocked that I haven't really mentioned my Vitamix yet considering it's my 4th love (just behind Rusty and our two pups). This thing can be used to make pretty much any dish. It's fast, it cleans itself, and no kitchen should be without [...]
I meant what I said when I titled this blog post. In my case, a little planning is going to go a long way.... all the way to Utah this weekend... I have a routine I follow in the days leading up to a travel weekend, and this week is no different. I get to [...]
I talk a lot about eating clean, balancing macronutrients and making this a lifestyle. But what I haven’t talked much about yet is how to make this all realistic and sustainable over a lifetime. Because after all, is something really a lifestyle if it can’t be sustained for a lifetime? So here are my thoughts [...]
So, I have been holding my breath since 14.1 was announced, hoping and wishing for NO chest to bar pull ups or muscle ups until the very last week. But you know… the whole unknown and unknowable thing got the best of me this week. My back is nowhere near ready for any sort of [...]
