Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
Recently I tried Panera’s Power Almond Quinoa Oatmeal. Honey and Cinnamon on the side; I wish they had peanut butter, it needed peanut butter! I ordered the oatmeal without the almonds because I am allergic to almonds, especially in their raw form. And that red apple you see on the side of the tray? […]
I had been mentally planning to run a four mile race this morning but was waiting until the last-minute to sign up because I wanted to ensure the weather forecast was ideal and that honestly, I didn’t have anything else on the agenda that I felt like doing instead. I love to run and I don’t […]
Where did June go? Has anyone else realized next Friday is the Fourth of July which means somewhere between now and then June will end and July will begin? I don’t even understand. It is all a blur. This whole week is a blur as well. A good blur of graduation parties, ceremonies, good […]
This morning’s National Nutrition Month tip: Buy Fruit. Sounds so simple doesn’t it? Sometimes, however, the simplest of things tend to be overlooked. Listen, if you don’t buy fruit, you can’t eat fruit. More importantly, if you don’t buy fruit, your children can’t eat fruit. Expecting children to make healthier snack choices, expecting them to realize […]
If I wasn’t already completely confused as to what day of the week yesterday was, deciding to have Red Mango on a random Thursday afternoon for lunch only added to my confusion. Coconut Greek Yogurt loaded with blueberries, strawberries, Nature’s Path Pumpkin Flax Granola, a few sprinkles for good measure and a cherry on top. It […]
I had every intention of unplugging myself from the virtual world for the entire weekend but I wanted to pop in and say hello. Hello! Ok, really, I had a few things to say that just couldn’t wait. First, my long run yesterday morning was simply fabulous. No, I did not chick that guy on my […]
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 […]
No. It is not my birthday. But it sure feels like it is when one starts their morning off with a delicious treat! The Entenmann’s Vanilla Cake and Chocolate Donut flavored coffees are both heaven in a cup. So yummy and delicious that one is left with the dilemma of which flavor to select to […]
In an ever changing world, it is good to know that one can rely on the predictability of certain things. I was slightly concerned that Fairway was going to catch on that I figured out the method to their apple sale schedule. How happy I was to go through my circulars this morning and see […]
The calendar is telling telling me that today is March 14th (not only do I not retrieve my mail on a daily basis, I also am that person who never knows the date). If today is truly the 14th of March, I have a half to run in a month from today as the Fitness […]
I can see the headline now: 34 year old single mother of one forced to file bankruptcy due to extreme over-expenditure on produce. According to court documents, Child Protective Services is looking into case to determine if all child support funds were spent to support extreme produce and organic foods habit. If only I could […]
Awww. How sweet is my little 9 year old making his mommy a card all by himself. Can you read the post script at the bottom? I know, not easy to read right? I battle him every day not to rush through his school work and homework because rushing makes his handwriting illegible. Ugh boys…Or […]
