Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I did my food shopping Friday afternoon to get it out-of-the-way for the weekend! A few things before looking at my Trader Joe’s shopping cart: I made a stop at Whole Foods first. I didn’t get any pictures but I needed turkey, roast beef, rolls, a stack of bagels, and Bell & Evans products for my […]
Last week I was waking up so hungry that I felt as though my stomach may choose to eat itself if I didn’t grab a piece of a banana or something while I made my cup of coffee and got breakfast ready in a flash. Yet this week, I am waking up but my […]
I often say that I notice the time change through my appetite because I find myself hungrier earlier than the clock thinks I should be hungry but the truth is, my appetite never really respected the concept of standard meal times anyway. When I am hungry, I am HUNGRY which translates as I must eat my meal now regardless […]
Lately I have been attempting to write down each run in order to keep better track of my miles. I know I have been running more and want to make sure I am compensating in the fuel department. Think of your body like a car- the more miles you drive, the more gas you […]
If I had a theme song at the moment, it would probably be Yellow by Coldplay. I don’t even love the color yellow, it is just a coincidence that my sneakers have all ended up this shade from the rainbow. You will notice that I am still wearing both pairs of Adidas. My older […]
When my son was little, we were rarely home during the day. I always had us somewhere; playgroups, meals out, rides in the car so that he would nap and I could drive through a Dunkin Donuts as well as just about anywhere a stroller was welcome. Being out with a baby/toddler though isn’t all that […]
Happy Friday! How was your Thanksgiving? It doesn’t feel like Friday, right? Nor does it feel like the color black. I don’t know what it feels like, I just know that as predicted, I have woken up hungry. That would be my loaded up plate from last night. You can be sure I went […]
Would you vote for me for Mother of the Year if I let you have mac and cheese for breakfast? In order to redeem myself from Sunday night when I was told that nothing I have to offer as a meal is appealing, I randomly asked the little boy if he wanted leftover mac and […]
You know how we talked about procrastinating and being lazy yesterday? Well, I think it may actually be time I got a little bit lazy on the running front. I must admit that even though the sun was shining and the air was crisp, something in me just didn’t feel like running yesterday. Or doing any […]
I have big plans for this last day of July. That’s right. I intend to bless Lifetime Fitness with my presence this morning. I decided I might as well live it up on this July 31st because as of tomorrow, August 1st, my membership is officially frozen. I may take a spin class or a kickboxing class […]
So yesterday’s run did not go as I planned. I mean, I never plan for a bad run, I don’t know anyone who does. Right away I felt a little bit off. The tops of my feet were aching in a weird way, my left hamstring might have been saying something and I stopped to tie my […]
