Since I normally buy produce in bulk (at Costco) I don’t really think about how much certain things cost individually. This afternoon I was craving an apple so I stopped in the store for an apple and DP. As the title says, the apple was $1.00. Interesting. I think it’s a good idea for me to be ...

SUSHI
I have been craving sushi since I went into Trader Joes last Friday and almost bought some. I stopped myself because I had plenty of other food at home, but I have been thinking about it ever since. Well, I wouldn’t be honoring Intuitive Eating if I kept ignoring this craving, right? So I finally ... Read More about SUSHI
Straw versus Spoon
I know it’s never a good idea to discuss politics with friends, but I’ve finally decided to bring up a very controversial subject on RER. And I welcome you to weigh in on what side you’re on…I promise I won’t judge. Are you a Straw person or a Spoon person??? Whenever I drink a smoothie I ... Read More about Straw versus Spoon
Chickpea Pizza and Cheerios!
I didn’t eat Cheerios today, but I have the biggest craving for Honey Nut Cheerios today. Random. I did eat a Chickpea Pizza for dinner though. On top of a pita: marinara sauce, mushrooms, cheese and chickpeas. I often put the toppings under the cheese so they’ll stay, but I wanted you to see the ...

Salads and Fake Outs
Sometimes I’ll take a picture of food, but then decide to eat something else. So, today I kinda feel like I’m “faking you out” with this picture of popcorn. I meant to have it with my salad, but ended up eating a piece of bread with PB and chocolate chips instead. Oops! That’s right, I am on the ... Read More about Salads and Fake Outs
Confessions
I have a few confessions to make… I know I’m normally brutally honest on Run, Eat, Repeat but I have let some information slip recently. Including the fact that I dropped Ben’s bagel on the floor this morning, but still gave it to him to eat. Three Second Rule?!?! Also, I picked at a pimple on ... Read More about Confessions
All the help I can get
I think I may be fighting off getting sick. I was really really tired all afternoon, even after two huge iced coffees! So tonight I drank one of the POM Wonderful juices the company sent me. I’m hoping the vitamins and anti-oxidants in this will help kill off any lurking illness. Dinner was ... Read More about All the help I can get
Bad Dieter, Not Bad Person
Camera Crisis!!! Okay, I’ve been talking about needing a new camera for a while now. Well, the time has come and I can’t wait much longer. I’m hesitant to get a SLR because of cost and bulk. But, does anyone really swear it will change my life? If not, what kind of camera do you have (if you ... Read More about Bad Dieter, Not Bad Person
Let’s Make a Toast!
This morning I made a toast. Well, actually I made two slices of toast :) One was cinnamon toast with sugar and the other was PB and banana on Ezekiel raisin bread. Fun fact: When I bought this bread from TJ’s the checker guy tried to talk me out of it. He said they have other, much better raisin ... Read More about Let’s Make a Toast!
B. Sprout is Back
I feel like it’s been sooo long since I’ve had roasted brussel sprouts! I guess my travels last week gave me withdrawals! Well, never fear – they are back! It was a whole roasted feast with Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Roasted Chickpeas. I tossed the chickpeas in TJ’s teriyaki sauce mixed with red ... Read More about B. Sprout is Back
Not Running and Intuitive Eating
I had a Physical Therapy appointment on a clinic, like the best physiotherapy edmonton, this afternoon (hence the tardy post). It went well and I’m planning to run 3 miles this weekend. While, 3 miles seems kinda tragic after a run 26 miles two months ago, I’ll take what I can get right ... Read More about Not Running and Intuitive Eating
Ben vs. Michael Pollan
Ben is very well aware of Michael Pollan’s amazing quote: “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants” He’s also been flipping through Pollan’s book Food Rules. But randomly as he was taking off his shirt to go to sleep last night he said: “Wear clothes, not too much, mostly pants.” Ha! ... Read More about Ben vs. Michael Pollan
Track Time
Ben and I took a walk this afternoon. We found a high school track and thought about going for a 400m run :) But I decided not to because my knee feels a little “annoyed” and I want to keep it happy! Don’t mind me, just wearing Ben’s sweatshirt looking like a tragedy… We are dorks :) While ... Read More about Track Time
Too Much Cinnamon
Usually I really pour cinnamon on my oats like it’s going out of style, but this morning I actually poured way too much :( It didn’t taste too bad, but some bites were rather bitter. This morning I woke up and slammed a Green Monster so I’d have some fuel before going to the gym. I took a ... Read More about Too Much Cinnamon
D.C. Zoo
Ben and I went to the D.C. Zoo today. It was such a beautiful day we wanted to do something out doors. The first we saw were the lions. I always love looking at the animals since I love all big ol’ fuzzy things, but then I feel bad that they are all caged up. Do they you visit animal ... Read More about D.C. Zoo
Waffles and Smoothies
Waffles and smoothies make the best breakfast! I love all these flavors and it feels like I’m eating something “bad” when I eat waffles. My smoothie had a frozen banana, spinach, soy milk, ice and chia seeds. I love that this smoothie tastes so good and makes me feel good too :) I covered one ... Read More about Waffles and Smoothies
