Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Okay, so first, here’s a picture of my cold oatmeal that I had post-run on the boardwalk on Sunday. There’s nothing pretty about it but it’s what I eat every single morning for years. Oatmeal (steel-cut and rolled oats cooked together) with cinnamon, sea salt, blueberries, and peanut butter. When I have other berries […]
Just a quick Thinking Out Loud post for today! I finally got a pedicure the other day. I say finally because I am usually so good about going every few weeks but this month, actually more than a month, got away from me. Pedicures are important beyond the pretty polish colors, especially as a […]
Lots of food to discuss today for What I Ate Wednesday! Breakfast: I had my usual pre-run small bowl of oatmeal with banana early in the morning. After my run, I wanted a slice of cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread with peanut butter and jelly. Trader Joe’s was out of the organic crunchy salted peanut […]
#1 – I am loving these new puffed heart accessories from Marc Jacobs and wish I could find this pattern in a handbag. The puffed heart wristlet does hold a phone though so maybe I could make it work somehow. #2 – Have you see the new Kate Spade ice cream cone phone case? She has a new ice […]
The winter months make me want to cuddle my feet in Uggs, slippers and comfy socks. Have you seen these cozy looking slipper socks at Target? I think I need them! Instead of ordering pizza Friday night for my son and his friends, I picked up a pizza from Fresh Market during the day to heat […]
1) I found a stash of chocolate chip cookies that I baked a few months ago in my freezer the other night. I wish I knew which recipe it was that I conjured up because gosh they were good cookies and now I have no idea how to remake them. I must confess that I picked out all […]
Did you know that I rarely do take out for dinner? It’s like this — either I am cooking or we are going out to eat. No need to order in pizza or Chinese food and very rarely do I feel like picking dinner up on the way home. Except for Friday night. Friday night somehow we took […]
I hope you are busy enjoying the long Labor Day weekend! Just popping in with some scenes for the weekend so far 🙂 It’s always a pleasure dining at my friend Lisa’s house because she is a guaranteed good food time, especially since she is a vegetarian which means her barbeques will always involve […]
I love these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies. Do I really need to say more than that today? So I finally bought coconut flour. Amanda is always making something with coconut flour (most recently her oatmeal cookie dough mug cake) and I felt really left out so I picked up a bag of it at Target a few […]
Where did June go? Has anyone else realized next Friday is the Fourth of July which means somewhere between now and then June will end and July will begin? I don’t even understand. It is all a blur. This whole week is a blur as well. A good blur of graduation parties, ceremonies, good […]
It works out perfectly to link up with Amanda for Thinking Out Loud fun since I have so much to say this morning. 1. Once again I found a load of laundry in my dryer. Even better, the clothes were still damp. This actually worked to my advantage early yesterday morning – I was able to […]
I ran six miles yesterday on the treadmill. Simply stating this fact to you without including details really doesn’t tell you much other than the number of miles. See. Just telling you I ran 6 miles now looks totally different, doesn’t it? There is nothing wrong with breaking up your runs. I don’t always, […]
