Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

March 16, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am not an extremist with…anything really.  Especially with food and fitness.  Balance.  Balance.  Balance. When it comes to workouts, I try to schedule them in my phone, but I make sure to listen to my body. And hey, if I get too busy and skip a workout..it’s all good. (For the most…

{MIMM #10} It’s Monday BUT

February 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend.  Specifically the sleeping schedule.  I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal. As a result, it…

{#MIMM #9} Winning

February 11, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Happy Monday! It’s another Marvelous Monday!  Mondays tend to be a weekend recap as of late, so here was my weekend! Dave (the BF) and I had another fun-food-filled weekend back in my home town.  (It’s so weird that I don’t live there anymore!  25 years of my life and I have to visit my…

{Fit Friday #5} Convenience

February 1, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’m not gonna lie…many times I have planned on going to the gym but ended up “not having enough time,” or didn’t feel like getting all of my things together and making the 10 minute trip to the gym. But now…I kind of have no excuse.  Sure, I’m busy, but I have at…

{Fitness Friday #4} Fitness Rambles

January 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday! I really couldn’t decide what alliteration I wanted to use today, or really what I wanted to blog about, but I knew I did want to blog.  Anyone ever feel that way? It also seems like I have a bazillion ideas when I’m busy, not near a computer, or should be paying attention…

{Fitness Friday #3} Challenge Yourself

January 11, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday Friends! Who is excited that it’s Friday? *raises hand and jumps up and down* Not that school is terrible…I just stress myself out over little things (getting up at 5:30am is no fun either).  Especially finding all my classes and making friends the first couple of weeks.  And establishing a good eating/fitness routine…which…
