Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Our Thinking Out Loud host is currently on a beach in Hawaii and while I hope she is having the best time, the selfish side of me really misses talking to her every day. Amanda is one of my closest friends, even if we have never met in person! I know I have told […]
I tend to reserve more in-depth discussions for Tuesday, formerly known as Three Tip Tuesday. Lately I have dropped the Three Tip part and find myself simply sticking to topics rather than looking for three tips. Topic Tuesday? A few of you have asked me recently to address running for beginners, including one of my close friends […]
Pandora was really kind to me yesterday morning. I don’t know how Tiffany landed on a Pitbull station but I will certainly take it. Maybe Debbie Gibson will be next? 30 minutes on the elliptical plus a few minutes dilly dallying with weights for the biceps and I was done. Short workouts like this often leave […]
Amanda suggested we Think Out Loud today regarding National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDA). This year’s NEDAwareness Week theme is “I Had No Idea” to raise awareness towards the significant impact eating disorders have on individuals, families, and communities across the nation. You see “eating disorder” and immediately think anorexia and bulimia. You automatically think of […]
One of these days I am really going to talk about Apple Cider Vinegar and the health benefits associated with adding it to your morning glass of water. Today is not the day. It was going to be the day until I decided we needed to talk about something else entirely, something that is […]
In case you were wondering, Edible Arrangements didn’t run any super spectacular Cyber Monday deals. I know this because I checked. To send one to myself. Anyway, I would happily bet you an Edible Arrangement that if we surveyed everyone reading this blog today, a majority of you would say you weighed yourself on a regular […]
Yesterday’s “runtention” – 10 miles. Done. I am really enjoying this new game plan of mine where I have thrown a long run into my midweek routine when I can squeeze it in. And squeezing in 10 miles while trying to find a place to run only makes my accomplishment that much sweeter. I really […]
Sometimes the questions that come out of my son’s mouth shock me. “How do you do all that you do and do it so well?” This question really came out of left field. I think it may even contain a compliment. The answer is, I don’t know how I do all that I do and sometimes I […]
Friday already? This week sure flew by quick! I ended up running 5 miles yesterday morning. With an average pace of 9:35 min/mile, I was clearly not in my zone but I felt well enough to complete the run and I am confident that I will be able to enjoy my long run tomorrow morning. I still […]
So. I realized I left one important item off my pool bag essentials list: I spotted this must-have Juicy Couture sun visor while on my mission for a new handbag (which I have yet to find). I didn’t purchase the visor when I found it in the store though. Why? Well, it was basically the only item in the Juicy Couture […]
My outfit for Sunday is all ready. I can’t begin to tell you how nice it has been to be able to prepare for Sunday’s half without the random debilitating arm injury I dealt with a few week’s ago during the days prior to my last race. I mean, I was so consumed with the […]
Fairway is still toying with me. I am not at all amused and will simply be purchasing my granny smith apples somewhere else. I shop at 5 different grocery stores Fairway, do you hear me? So don’t think I am any more loyal to you than the next store down the block. Especially if you […]
