I came home for lunch today and tried to find something in the fridge…the no-grocery thing is proving to be challenging. I miss fruit. I did find some ingredients for a salad! Romaine, garbanzo beans, canned green beans, olives and hummus, red wine vinegar. When I got to the bottom of the bowl it was … Continue reading »

Thumbs up for Thursday
Thank you all for your well-wishes for my thumb recovery! It actually wasn’t too painful, and it has almost completely healed. It sure makes for a good story though… I did my favorite Pilates DVD this morning, and it felt nice to stretch and strengthen after 2 hard days of pounding on the pavement. Breakfast … Continue reading »
Staples and Thumbs
So, the post-work run was about 10x harder than the 5am run. I think it’s just my body’s natural clock. It likes mornings better. However, when I came home to clock my total miles, I realized that my loop was actually 4.5 miles – which makes my total for today around 9 miles. Not bad … Continue reading »
Compromise
It’s not ideal – but I went with the 4 miles before school/4 miles after school plan today. I just couldn’t bear the idea of 8 miles after a long day. Nor could I handle the thought of running at 4:30am. When I got back from the fabulous and relaxing 4 miles this morning, I … Continue reading »
Scrap Salad and Sandwich
I had the same lunch as yesterday because I loved it so much. However, to stretch it a little more – I added a TON of lettuce. Like ½ head of romaine. It was just as delicious as the day before. Then I snacked on this Soyjoy sample after the kiddos left. I have decided … Continue reading »
Oats for Running
On mornings that I have a hard workout – like today – I like to have oatmeal as a way of patting myself on the back. It makes it special for me. It also holds my hunger longer, as I am usually a hungry monster on days that I push myself with the workouts. This … Continue reading »
Can I re-live this day of eating?
I came home to the house smelling like my grandmother’s on Thanksgiving. My sweet Meeker had slow-cooked a pork roast that been in the freezer for months. I tell you – it smelled just like my Grandmother’s house – I didn’t know we ever ate pork at Thanksgiving, but we MUST have – because it … Continue reading »
Best. Lunch. Ever.
My lunch was so good today that it deserves its own post. I ate it alone in my room while catching up on some parent emails, and I was Mmming and Awwwing so much that I would have been mortified if someone walked in and saw me drooling over vegetables. But seriously. Roasted carrots, zucchini, … Continue reading »
It’s easy as 1,2,3…

Two… Coffee out of my ‘Audrey’ mug Three… Broiler toast made from homemade bread One satisfying breakfast! In the smoothie: ½ cup vanilla yogurt ½ … Continue reading »
Football and Custard
Is there anything better than waking up on a Sunday morning to a perfectly clean house? I think not. After a 2 month break, I started working at the nursery in our church again this morning. I work with the little babies, and just get to hold, rock, feed and play with them. They are … Continue reading »
