Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Did you know that this week is National School Lunch Week? Well now you do. Thank me for being the Nutrition Representative for my son’s school. I will be keeping you in the know on important things such as this throughout the year. The theme this year is School Lunch Across the USA. It focuses on […]
I have been spending a few extra dollars lately at Trader Joes. $2.99 more to be exact. See this vegetable tray? I have developed a new habit where I grab this tray when I walk into the store and snack my way through to check out and continue the snacking during the car ride home. I have a […]
I’m tired. I don’t often say it but today I feel the need to inform you that I am a bit tired. I decided I was tired yesterday afternoon. You should know that deciding you are tired on a Monday afternoon is not OK. Nor is it OK to discover you have two completely overripe bananas […]
It was bad enough spotting the return of the school supplies last week in Target. This week I have to deal with the end-cap displays of Twinkies. To reinforce the return of the crème-filled yellow sponge cakes, the little boy said, in a whisper, and I quote: “Do you know how embarrassing it is to be 9 years old and to have […]
I sat down bright and early this morning to write this post when suddenly my computer decided to shut down and begin 30 minutes of updates. Thankfully, because I am always ahead of schedule, those 30 minutes did not affect my routine. Although it completely annoyed me. I may be “summer messy” but I am […]
If I didn’t already qualify for Mother of the Year, I secured the top spot last night for sure. Not only did I take the boy last night (on a school night) to the Islanders/Penguins playoff game, I excused him from Hebrew School, I sported an Islanders T-shirt in support of the orange and blue […]
Isn’t it funny how as soon as you finish one race, you are busy planning the next? I am trying to work on my race calendar but it isn’t so easy. The only upcoming races between now and the fall season are mostly 5k distances. I really don’t like the 5k. I prefer to run […]
Oh rainbow shoes how I loved you. Lesson learned. Do not judge a book by it’s cover. Although on a side note, I always seem to gravitate towards the novels with the pretty covers that have a picture of a cupcake, brownie or ice cream cone and they usually come through for me as great […]
This cold weather is getting real old. So is the puffiness under my eyes. I am a long time allergy sufferer but lately I have been trying to pinpoint exactly what is causing my most recent flare up. Yep, I play allergist in my spare time. Anyway, I really didn’t think I would still be […]
Tuesday. What was once a blah day stuck next to Monday and nowhere near Friday, is now a fun-filled day every week here at The Cookie ChRUNicles. In addition to being Spin Tuesday, 3-Tip Tuesday and Kidfresh Product Review and Giveaway Day, today also marks a very important day here in New York- well it was […]
Happy March 1st! Not only am I excited that it is Friday, March 1st signifies that Spring is on the way. In fact, my friend and I refer to March 1st as our unofficial “first day of Spring.” Now, an egg won’t stand on its head for us or anything as it does for the […]
Good morning! How is everyone doing today? My legs are no longer tired from earlier in the week; I am so glad I did an elliptical workout yesterday as an easy cross training day. It is about 40 degrees this morning which means I can venture outdoors for a short run before I get busy […]
