Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I hope everyone is enjoying this time of year when no one knows exactly what day it is! I’ve been in the city a few times over the last week. It’s always a fun time of year to be there, and, I would say it felt like pre-pandemic times. Streets and stores were packed! While […]
Yesterday, I was all excited to report that it was already Tuesday. And now today, while I’m thrilled it’s already Wednesday, it almost snuck up on me in some ways. Like, oh, I need to post about food today? Ok, shoot, let me pull something together. I was in the city at Bloomingdale’s on July […]
The days are totally slipping away from me! Ugh. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there’s really nothing I can do about it. Some weeks I have more time to think about and write posts and some weeks, I just don’t. I feel like I said this last week too. Ah well. Just […]
June weekends are always busy weekends. It started Friday night with pizza from Stella’s. My son had an all day carnival type thing outside at school as a party celebration for the 8th graders. He was full of sun and clearly tired when I picked him up from school. After forcing him immediately into […]
I think it’s great that Amanda (our weekly Thinking Out Loud host) has been enjoying herself in Hawaii but if you want my opinion, it’s time for her to come home already. My days are not the same without talking to her all day long! Saturday night following the 10k race, I had to […]
I snacked on watermelon while food shopping at Trader Joe’s. I saw these cute cake pans in Target which made me want to make a layer cake or rainbow cookies but I didn’t buy the cake pans so I won’t be making anything. It doesn’t take much to convince me to have dinner at The […]
Friday’s roses. All for me. Dessert appetizers: The chocolate-covered strawberry was mine but I snagged some of the fudge from the top of the fudge brownie too 🙂 I will admit my frozen yogurt creation is not the one on the right. I want this collapsible water bottle. My son shared his onion rings with […]
Friday night sushi for dinner is the best way to start the weekend. Especially when it’s all you can eat so you keep ordering more. And more. My son talked me into Cold Stone after dinner even though I was extremely full and didn’t want to overdo it the night before my long run. I […]
It’s a real good thing that I type and you read rather than I talk and you listen because I have no voice left after yesterday’s Islanders game. It was a crazy intense, loud game (hence the no voice thing) that ended with an Islanders win (2-1) in overtime! I didn’t even play the game and […]
You are going to be so proud of my will power. I was in Whole Foods on Monday shopping for Rosh Hashanah and completely held myself together when passing the food bar. The roasted vegetables display was bountiful and beautiful BUT I was able to resist and my wallet was super thankful. I have even held […]
It’s fun sometimes for me to look back at old blog posts to read what I was doing and saying a year ago. Like a year ago today I recapped the walk to Fire Island. The onion rings were totally worth the walk to Surf’s Out on Fire Island. Possibly the best onion rings ever in my life. […]
Thinking Out Loud posts are a lot like what our phone conversations would sound like if we were actually speaking instead of me writing and you reading. Although, I rarely talk on the phone since I prefer to text and I never really talk about running with my friends because they don’t run but when I am […]
