The Skinny by Scarlett Johansson
While training for an upcoming film, I’ve come to this conclusion: chin ups are near impossible and lunges suck. There is no magic wand to wave over oneself to look good in a latex catsuit. Eating healthy and getting fit is about commitment, determination, consistency and the dedication to self-preservation....

Salads for the week
Had two different kinds of them yesterday (Tomato with mozzarella and smoked almond breadcrumbs & grilled fennel with dates, cilantro and pistachios). I’ll count them as one since I only ate a few bites of each.
And the second one is lunch today: shredded lettuce, chicken, corn, tomatoes, red onions and grilled bell peppers. Mmm!
Three more to go this week to be sticking to my goals...

itsmeinthemoon-shesays asked: Do you know any recipes using portabella mushrooms?
I can't wait to work out this week.
oh, Vacation, you’ve made me crave normalcy again.
Salads. Home cooking. Sleeping well. Working out. Protein shakes.
My “normal”.
Yup.
Can’t wait.
So I'm watching Pee Wee for the first time ever
… On the big screen with a bunch of sing alongers.
This is slightly terrifying.
Gooooooal!!
Workout
Yesterday I walked around Portland for about 7 miles.
Oh yeah.
:)
New addition!
Some of my closest friends had a baby this morning! I’m so happy I could burst!! This is such an amazing and exciting time for them. This is the first baby born to our group of friends … And certainly won’t be the last!
I can’t wait to meet him, hold him and snuggle him up!
Welcome to the world, Eli!

steelmangoes asked: I almost unfollowed you today because all of your beer posts were giving my liver an erection. (TMI?) I WANT BEER!
To the five followers I've lost since I went on...
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out!
I love beer.
I ‘m on vacation.
Therefore, there will be posts!
If you don’t get it: I feel sadness for you. Beer is awesome!!
:P
Xxx,
M!!!
Vacation win?
I only ate half of my omlette. It was delicious but instead of gorging myself I decided to stop, breathe, and ultimately step away. I’m full… I don’t need it even if it IS delicious. :)
Also, file this under “workout”: we walked about 5 miles overall yesterday from bar to pub to restaurant to… All over! :)
I think so far I’m doing okay!
Xxx,
M

Dear Airlines
Why you make check-in so stressful sometimes?!?
Confirmation number d-r-a-m-a.
Luckily, after calling, “holding” for 20 minutes and then talking to a dude in India who was super helpful and nice: problem solved!
::deep breath::
I’m ready for vacation now! REALLY STINKIN READY!!

rick-does-his-thang-deactivated asked: 2 words you need to remember when you go to Portland...Bunk Sandwiches. They have unbelievable sandwiches. Top notch, raise the bar, wanna go back everyday type stuff.
Pok Pok is great if you like Thai food. It's sooooo good.
If you love good meat and good food go to Otto's Sausage. You can taste the quality. It's awesome.
VooDoo...

The Countdown Begins
Hey guys and gals!
June 1st is quickly approaching! Only 8 days left! Let’s make these last 8 days really count, eh? How about pushing for one extra unplanned workout in there? Or one extra homemade healthy and balanced meal? You can do it and your body will thank you!
For me, the challenge ends tomorrow. Why? Because I’m heading out for vacation to Portland (!!!) early Thursday...

HIIT Workout
Woke up at 6:00 AM and ran 2 miles of sprints with Chippy. Went hard. It felt fantastic. The air was cool and we saw a white heron in the LA River. Now I’m sitting here typing this & sweat is dripping down my face. I can dig it. ;)
One more day until I take my pictures for the I Love My Summer Bikini / Bathing Suit Body Challenge. I can’t believe the challenge is over for me...
