Click here to see more healthy power bowl recipes from Kelly! Admittedly, I get Fresa’s “El Super Bol” at least 3x a week. Typically on those nights when I’m at the office late or am traveling and don’t want to make a full grocery haul, this is my go-to. I modify it, ommitting the queso, […]
Confession time: I crave structure and a good game plan almost as much as I crave a black and gold Chanel 2.55. Or rosewater waffles from my favorite NYC haunt. Though I try hard to leave room for those beautiful moments of serendipity, I tend to do really well in all facets of life when I […]
I’ve often scoffed at the phrase, “I’m going on a juice cleanse.” Mostly because those who were giving it a go were doing so as penance for an indulgent weekend or a fast solution to a larger problem. While there is something to be said for the need to reset the mind — or despite my disdain […]
When I first embarked on this journey, my only real goal was to simply get healthy. I didn’t set a lot of rules around the number of days I should exercise or amount of vegetables to consume. My energy was spent on finding workouts that I liked, cleaning up my diet and making sure I was having […]
Like many of you, I’m dashing through this week: tying up loose ends at work, finishing up holiday shopping and making my rounds at all the holiday parties. Add in running, bike rides and squeezing in every pilates class I can, and essentially every second of every day is spoken for until I get to […]
Almost everything about this upcoming Thanksgiving is unconventional for me. For starters, my folks are traveling to Austin, which means for the first time in my adult life, I’m playing host. Except, my first hosting gig will be made possible thanks to one of my favorite restaurants who is providing the big feast. With the […]
“Do one thing every day that scares you.” At one time or another, we’ve all heard Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quote, and while I can’t say I succeed in this every single day, I pride myself in taking the road less traveled and trying things I once deemed as impossible. A few weeks ago, over the course of […]
For better or worse, I (kelly) live for seizing the moment. Because I’m a firm believer that every day has the potential to be the best one yet, I often have a hard time turning down any opportunity to spend time with family, friends or travel. I have an even harder time if it’s a […]
When I moved to Austin almost 4 years ago, one thing was very clear: this city has a strong cycling community. Cycling wasn’t prevalent in the small Nebraska town that I grew up in, but after my Dad raced his first biathlon in the 90’s and a family member rode RAGBRAI (a seven-day bike ride across Iowa) several […]
There’s an old adage that goes, “Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail.” And while that may sound a little harsh (because let’s face it, sometimes life happens), there is some merit to that. I travel quite a bit throughout the year, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned while being on this journey, it’s that consistency […]
