Plain yogurt, … Continue reading »

28 Hours

I need 28 hours in a day. 24 just aren’t cutting it. I feel like I’ve been rushed since 4:30am. Here’s a little bit of how it went: 4:30 Wake up early…ugh, I hate working out, I don’t want to do it. 4:45 Just get out of bed, you’ll be glad you did 5:00 chug … Continue reading »

The Cheese Touch

Hello! Happy Tuesday to you. Yes, you. My day went quickly, which is always a good thing. It started  with a fantastic speedy workout as the sun was rising. I ran 100yd sprints in the wee morning hours, leaving me energized and enthusiastic about the day. I re-fueled with a green(ish) monster. 1 banana, ½ … Continue reading »

Three Breakfasts Deep

I had three breakfasts this morning. 5:00am – Sliced apple 6:30am – green monster ½ avocado, ¾ cup frozen spinach, 2 strawberries, 1 cup rice milk 7:10 – Eggy/bagel sandwich with avocado I’m always ravenous in the morning, especially when I work out. So my three-course breakfast barely filled my rumbling belly. But I had … Continue reading »

Wind Blows.

Happy Thursday, best day of the week! My April fools was filled with silly eight-year old tricks (Mrs. Unger my I forgot my homework…April fools!!) I started early with this apple at about 5am… But this shiny little friend was playing a joke on me…it was mushy and icky. So, I gave it to Punky … Continue reading »

Applesauce and Red Pens

This morning, after a nice walk with the Punk, I had a very satisfying breakfast. Oats in a very empty almond butter jar. I’m not even sure there was any almond butter in there – I cleaned that sucker out pretty well with a spoon earlier this week. These oats were pure mush. I cooked … Continue reading »

No Cook Wednesday

I started the day with an hour of Dave Farmar yoga, then hustled myself out the door to work. Eleven hours later, I strolled back in the door and crashed. Here are the highlights, in terms of food at least. ¼ cup cottage cheese, 1 sliced apple, a handful of toasted cashews and cinnamon I … Continue reading »

A Relaxing Monday

Ahh, nothing like a day off of work, and a short week to look forward to. I started my morning with a nice sunny run, followed by yoga for runners. Then refueled with oats in a jar. I added two egg whites while cooking to pump up the protein. And coffee while I puzzled. After … Continue reading »

Smells Like Fall…

Good Morning! The first thing to go when work gets busy is my intake of protein. It is so much easier and (for me) more satisfying to eat fruit, bread and cookies. So this morning’s breakfast was my best effort at “comforting protein”… Looks icky – but trust me and Emily, it was dang good. … 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 »
