Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I love the opportunity for randomness… As a peanut butter lover, it is my duty to make sure you are aware of the recent nut butter recall. I was slightly nervous when I saw Trader Joe’s involved since I recently bought a jar but it seems that only their almond butters made the recalled list. If I want […]
My brain goes to interesting places while I am running, yesterday’s nine mile run is no exception. Based upon this post, it shouldn’t be any wonder why I don’t say hello to others as I pass them…I am clearly in another world trying to solve all of life’s mysteries for us. Have you ever […]
I wasn’t going to post today but felt the need to pop in and tell you that 12 years ago this morning I took a spin class. Yes, I realize this may sound of very little importance but let me explain. I still recall the spin class I took 12 years ago this morning […]
So guess what? I actually went to Lifetime yesterday like I said I would. I started on this elliptical-arc trainer type thing – the one that lets you go in multiple directions and positions. I love the variety that it offers, especially being able to do the motions in the squat position but I only lasted 10 […]
Spin Tuesday it is not, at least not for me. I once again can’t get to Lifetime which leaves me only with the option to spin next Tuesday before my membership is frozen August 1st. I am not all that upset about missing spin though. I am more than happy to run instead. I ran 5 miles yesterday […]
I never made it to spin yesterday (as I assumed I wouldn’t) but I did have time for a quick visit with the elliptical machine followed by some strength training for my legs. I am trying my best to work those strength training sessions in to my routine. And I must have done a decent job […]
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 […]
Good morning Spin Tuesday! Ok, so I am not all that excited for a grueling hour of intense spinning but I am slightly looking forward to checking out the new spin bikes. I hate to report that I have not had the chance to get to Lifetime to test out those new treadmills. I know that so many of […]
I survived spin. I more than survived. In fact, I couldn’t believe the class was over and felt as though we easily had 30 minutes left. So, either Ernie went easy on us or I am back in spin mode. I chose not to look at the time which might have helped the hour spin […]
Spin was intense. Actually, intense is an understatement. I questioned my sanity within the first 10 minutes of the class. I questioned the woman next to me half way through to see if she felt the class was especially difficult this week or if perhaps I was completely out of spin-shape. She was barely able […]
We are back in business. It is quite evident that Fairway noticed my complete boycott of their market and finally caved in. I am sure that sales had dipped; especially in the area of Granny Smith apples. And it appears that Fairway is so concerned that I won’t return that they have also placed Ezekiel bread on sale […]
It is Spin Tuesday once again! I am super excited to get myself back into the spin. Remind me of my excitement around 10:00 am when I am 15 minutes into the grueling class. Yes friends, this morning I revert back to my motto of, “Please do not call me, text me or expect me […]
