{Dear Fat,}



Bailey is hooked on the Food Networks, Kids Baking Championship. Kids Baking Championship is hosted + judged by Duff Goldman + Valerie Bertinelli.
Eight talented young bakers compete for the title of Kids Baking Champion, $10,000, a full ‘baker’s kitchen’, an article written about them, and their cake recreated in Charm City Cakes.
Bailey has watched the same episode over and over. I’ve seen bits + pieces too, and the show is pretty cute. I can see what she enjoys. I still to this day record Giada’s cooking shows.
Sunday afternoon, Bailey came up with an idea. A brilliant idea, that included me NOT cooking dinner. Obviously I was all in!! Bailey wanted to do her very own “kid cooking challenge.” She would do the cooking and I would do the tasting/judging. Sounded like a fabulous plan to me. She asked me to take her to Raley’s to pick out the ingredients. Without a clue as to what she was making us, we loaded up and headed to the grocery store.
Here’s what she picked out:

Cheers to Friday! I hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend planned. Whenever I say “we don’t have much planned” I sabotage it and overbook every minute of the 2-days home. So, I will say – we have a somewhat relaxing weekend planned…lol. I am 100% looking forward to everything that we have on the calendar thus far.
ONE – Starbucks sells beer + wine? Where in the hell have I been? This is unbelievable. How can one shop carry my two favorite beverages? So, I guess you tell your friends, hey lets meet at starbucks for wine? That just sounds silly. But, if you see me sitting in the corner alone double fisting a venti unsweetened black iced tea + a glass of wine, don’t be surprised.

Good morning! Hope your week is off to a good start. I have to admit, after a weekend of over indulging, it feels good to be back at it. Workouts + clean food make me happy. It sounds ridiculous, but It’s 100% fact. Over the weekend, I didn’t workout and broke a couple of the Kaia Commandments. Let me tell you, I’m paying for it now. Monday morning’s workout kicked my ass and today wasn’t any easier.
Today was a partner workout. Think burpees + pull-ups + lots of squats + handbags.

Thanks Angela for the great partner workout. Clearly I cant count luckily she kept us on track. Too bad we didn’t take a picture before, because we are sweaty betty’s here at the end of the workout. Thank god for black + white filters at 5am 🙂
Here’s what I ate Monday:
Breakfast // Kaia Wild Workout Drink.
I followed the directions but added a spoonfull of chia seeds and some water to thin it out a bit. This recipe makes two servings, so I shared with Cory, who admitted it was pretty good. If Cory gives it a thumbs up – that’s kind of a big deal!!
Sunday evening I bagged up the blueberries + celery + banana + walnuts in a ziplock and stuck it in the freezer. Which made my smoothie making a breeze in the morning. I just dumped my ziplock in the ninja and added the almond milk + protein powder + chia seeds. I have a couple more ready to ninja for the next couple of days too. I saw this on pinterest and thought it was a brilliant idea. Kudos to those that do this already.


HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Whoop Whoop! It’s finally here. You know the drill, it’s Friday 5:
ONE – I got pizza pj’s for my birthday. Check out those melty cheesy pizza slices…it’s heaven. God, I miss pizza so much. Since I wont be indulging anytime soon, I guess the next best thing is to wear it, right? Till then, I shall rock my pizza jams and be happy. Thank you Sarah P for making my night time wardrobe extra cheesy 🙂

TWO – Clean Brownies. Yes, that’s what I just said. They are fucking amazing too. My girlfriend, Toni made them for me last Saturday for my birthday dessert. I took the leftovers home. And I ate them ALL. #bombdotcom

With that being said, it’s time to get my shit together!! 2016 is almost here. I’m not a big New Years Resolution person, but I do like to set goals for the new year. #1 (again) healthy. Not skinny! My ass just wasn’t built to be skinny. Healthy to me is the way you feel. I sure as hell do not feel healthy right now. I love to workout, don’t get me wrong. Since having Bailey (9 years ago…lol) just working out, just doesn’t cut it anymore. I have to be mentally in it too. It has to be a lifestyle in order to get the results I’m looking for. I have to cut out the junk food, control portions and wine (this is the hardest part).
