Tortilla soup is one of those foods that I’ll make almost anytime I find a new recipe – and that I never get tired of eating. And since everything is better with chipotle flavor, no doubt I’m making this Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Soup tomorrow – just in time for my freezer cooking frenzy (more on that next week!).
I meant to post this one last week, but I skipped Friday Favorites, so here it is a week late: as a newly obsessed Instagram user, I’m excited to participate in Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day June Challenge. You don’t have to be on Instagram to take part, since you can post photos to your blog, twitter, facebook, etc. but if your camera skills are as embarrassing as mine, you might enjoy Instagram’s one-click photo editing

Lately I’ve been collecting and pinning all the workouts I want to try post-pregnancy, and the Strong and Sexy Lower Body Workout from One Fit Foodie caught my eye this week. Take a look at Naomi’s body – you’ll want to try it, too!
Adios Barbie has a must-read article, Sex Objects or Athletes? The Fallout of Sexy images of Female Athletes, which I encourage you to read even if you don’t follow sports. This is a subject that has bothered me for years, and it’s nice to see someone address it (in a far more articulate way than I could ever manage).

Welcome, I'm Kristen! I'm a 20-something mother of two working to make exercise and healthy eating a simpler and more enjoyable part of life. I love lifting, running, being outdoors and enjoying food in all it's healthy and not-so-healthy forms. I believe that happiness is as essential to 'healthy living' as exercise and vegetables - that's why I never turn down dessert! 

A great post-pregnancy workout I do is Tracy Anderson’s! She is bru-tal. But it works!
I’ve heard Tracy Anderson workouts are really tough – but that’s what we want, right?
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely check it out!
