Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
My week did not start out on the best note aside from the lack of energy I experienced while running from eating too little carbs. I woke up early Monday morning to learn my Pinterest account had been hacked! While Pinterest isn’t a HUGE deal and it wasn’t my blog or my bank account, […]
Laura and I began this week under the assumption that our recipe challenge for today would involve trying a new to us Power Bowl recipe. I am no stranger to eating Power Bowls. Power Bowls (or Buddha Bowls, the terms are often used interchangeably) have been my favorite go-to meals ever since switching to a meatless diet well over four […]
I go through phases with my cravings and right now, it’s all about veggie burgers! Last week, when I saw Laura was having the exact same craving, I told her that we needed to challenge ourselves to make some of the veggie burger recipes we have pinned to our Pinterest boards rather than rely […]
Thank you for your sweet comments yesterday! I always appreciate what you have to say and love hearing your personal stories too 🙂 Really, thank you for sharing with me. So I am all excited it’s Friday and even more excited that winter break is approaching. We may not celebrate Christmas but I do look […]
We are quickly approaching that time of the year when everyone starts to freak out over Thanksgiving dinner and how it will magically make you gain 20 pounds so let’s starve ourselves before and after just so we can have one day of stuffing and pie. Or, we encounter the reverse attitude of Thanksgiving will make […]
All of our dinners did not exactly go according to plan this week. But it’s okay to deviate every now and again, especially when Subway is running a buy one get one free deal. I took advantage of the deal Tuesday night which gave my son a dinner he really wanted plus an extra […]
As you already know, I made Amanda’s Pumpkin Banana Bread the other day which got me thinking about all of the yummy Fall recipes I have been pinning lately. Did you happen to notice that amongst the gazillion Fall recipes floating around these days, so many of ingredients involved offer us runners lots of healthy carbohydrates […]
I turn around and it’s suddenly Friday. Not a bad thing! I convinced my friend Lauren that she needed the Dior Cheek and Lip Glow when we were in the mall the other day and I still think you need it too. Have you seen the latest Pro Compression socks? How pretty is the new Heather […]
I am so happy that today is Thursday because I have A TON of random things to share with you this morning! The other day when I had the maintenance crew from my community at my house to fix my closet door (don’t even ask) they let me know that I am known as the Energizer Bunny […]
I may have an insatiable sweet tooth but when it comes to the roasted vegetables from the Whole Foods food bar, I have zero will power. I was at Whole Foods over the weekend just to pick up wild-caught salmon to cook for my mother’s birthday dinner (she loves salmon, me not so much at all unless it […]
Happy National Ice Cream Day! Okay, Red Mango isn’t technically ice cream but we had it yesterday so I am sharing the photo with you this morning. On the ice cream front though, we must locate this new Peanut Butter & Co./Turkey Hill collaboration special flavor: Let’s keep our eyes on the freezer cases in […]
Everyone handles the day after a race very differently. Some take the day off, some opt for an easy shake out run or cross training session in the form of a walk, yoga class, light stretching or elliptical-type machine. I have yet to take a complete day of rest after a race because I find […]
