What do you think about having dessert everyday? I want dessert everyday after dinner. I think this is a bad habit, but I don't have the willpower to just stop all together. Denying myself dessert only makes me want to eat every dessert in sight. I don't want to have to eat dessert, but I can't ... Read More about Dessert daily?

Birthday Bash!
I wanted to do something fun for my friend Adriel's, birthday. I decided to throw a BASH - literally. I got him a pinata to destroy at work! We spun him around so much he didn't even know where it was... Finally, he cheated, took off the blindfold and stabbed it. I didn't realize he had this ... Read More about Birthday Bash!
"That's a good workout"
Today is a new day! I woke up and did 5.9 miles, during the run I ran up and down the 1 hill in my area 4 times. A guy walking up the hill to work said, "That's a good work-out." It made me feel very proud of myself! I run as much as my chubby little Mexican legs can take me. This morning when that ... Read More about "That's a good workout"
No comment.
That is my thought on tonight's eats. I came home and snacked and snacked and snacked while making dinner. By the time dinner was ready I wasn't even hungry anymore. I ate some of it and went for a walk. Now I'm eating ice cream and making myself blog for accountability and honesty. I don't need ... Read More about No comment.
Hummus – the new dressing
It's still Monday... and I'm still at work. I'm sad when I think about all you east coasters out there that are already home :( But, I am barely getting to work when you are all eating lunch! Lunch : great salad topped with hummus. I love using hummus as dressing, but this one (I found at WF's ... Read More about Hummus – the new dressing
Barney Butter – 4 ways
So, I finally broke down and bought some of the infamous Barney Butter. I had resisted for months now despite the raves around the blog world. Ben wanted to go the Borders and there is a Whole Foods nearby, so I had a lot of time to just walk around and see all the very expensive and delicious ... Read More about Barney Butter – 4 ways
Thanks to Quaker, I'm a boxer
I went to yoga first thing this morning :) It was the Power Vinyasa Flow class and I had never done it before, so I was a little scared. Luckily, I did okay and enjoyed myself. Before I left I had a big bowl of oats I received my great robe/slippers/granola bar pack from the great oats company - ... Read More about Thanks to Quaker, I'm a boxer
Come fly with me…
I was terrified when I first saw the plane we would be flying in to Santa Barbara. It was tiny! Ben is still studying for his license so the instructor was with us (thank God!). The views were amazing! I know I'm partial, but Southern California is so beautiful - I love it. I had to wear ... Read More about Come fly with me…
All the stars aligned…
All the stars aligned this morning and I finally had a great run! I am so happy because I felt very beaten down from a week of bad runs. I guess it happens. I have said in the past that all the stars have to align in order for me to have a good run since I'm not "made" to be a runner. So, I need the ... Read More about All the stars aligned…

Guinness Book of World Records Salad
I forgot to tell you that Friday is my weekly weigh in day (or did I?). I am the same as last week, which is okay since I didn't really make any effort this week to cut back on things. It's a struggle with trying to lose weight, but also focusing on intuitive eating, you know? I'm hoping next Friday ... Read More about Guinness Book of World Records Salad
With a cherry on top
Since Fridays are rest days from running I was in no rush to get up this morning. I think I took too long though, because I took a quick walk to the store to get milk and on the way back I was starving! I wanted milk to have cereal for breakfast, but I knew I needed something more filling, so I ... Read More about With a cherry on top
Loafing around
Since we had a big ol' pot of lentils I decided we needed to make something lentil-centric. I got inspiration from Giada, but ended up doing my own thing. Lentil Loaf I mixed : 2 cups lentils (cooked) 1 cup brown rice (cooked) 1 cup spinach (cooked) Big handful shredded cheese (whatever you ... Read More about Loafing around
2 weeks notice
Today I wanted to quit running. I wasn't even going to give it 2 weeks notice, I just wanted to quit. For some reason my legs felt like lead today. There is no explanation for it - I got enough sleep, I ate well last night...I have been missing my 30 minute after run window to eat, maybe that's it? ... Read More about 2 weeks notice

Win, Eat, Repeat
There are a lot of blog contests going on right now (including mine that is just wrapping up!)... Healing with Juicesis holding a contest to give away : Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. She says the recipes are "to die for", but they're probably really "to live for" since I don't know if there's raw food in ... Read More about Win, Eat, Repeat
