Sunny

Sitting in the sun and eating out of an ice cream bowl for breakfast is fun. I woke up craving this breakfast again. Just 3 healthy ingredients into the food processor for a minute or two: one frozen banana, ¼ cup raw oats, 1 tbs. peanut butter. Then I like to top mine with cinnamon. … Continue reading »

Small and Mighty

Good Morning! (I realize that it’s 10am, and many of you live in a time-zone where it’s already lunch). As for me, it’s still (sort of) morning, I’m still expeRAWmenting, and it just led me to an incredible breakfast. It looks small, but that little bowl really packed a punch. It was like a cross … Continue reading »

ExpeRAWmentation

I’ve been experimenting with raw food a lot in the last few weeks. I have no intention of striving for a 100% raw diet, but during the summer, the produce is so fresh and available – it’s been fun, easy, and delicious! For the most part, I’ve been eating mostly raw until dinnertime, and then … Continue reading »

All Summer

Many of you have asked “what are you going to do all summer?” Well, I now have a full week of summer vacation under my belt, and I’ve already settled into my morning routine: Upon waking, I chug 2 glasses of water (sleeping with two fans blowing in my face make me thirsty). Then I … Continue reading »

Google It Up

I started this morning with a lot of moving. At 5:00am I walked the dog. At 6:00am I did some weight lifting, and at 7:00am I walked to school. The morning was so pleasant that I just didn’t want to stop enjoying it. However, lots of moving leads to lots of hunger. One egg, salsa, … Continue reading »

I love my food processor

Ahh, weekends are so nice. I did my share of relaxing/laying around today, and have managed to pepper in some wonderful food. Upon waking, I laid in bed for 45 minutes and read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’m only about 70 pages in, but I’m already intrigued. When I crawled out of bed, … Continue reading »

Heart Warming

Today was a day. In an effort to stay positive, I’ll not go into too many details. I feel so blessed to have a break coming up! I went to the gym early this morning. I would have run outside, but it was snowing. I can run in the snow October- February, but when it’s … Continue reading »

Still Hungry

Aaaand I only have 2 more Mondays left this year. What a sweet, sweet thing. This Monday started with a run con el perro, a green monster, and a walk to school. Frozen spinach (2 cups), blueberries, banana, protein powder, water I had an apple during reading class (I totally talked with my mouth full), … Continue reading »

Yes, I want to run.

Whooooo! I feel like a billion dollars. Butt kicking runs on Saturday mornings are THE highlight of my life. Say what you will about that, but I swear, nothing makes me happier. In hopes of reaching my goal of a sub 14:00/2 miler, my buddy Deane (the Running Machine) wrote me a personalize speed work … Continue reading »

Yode

But not just any yogurt, the best yogurt mess I have ever eaten. ¾ cup plain yogurt 1 banana, sliced Protein brownie batter (protein powder, cocoa, water) Chunky peanut butter Quaker Oatmeal Squares I can’t even tell you how insanely delicious this was. I … Continue reading »
