Run Eat Repeat

Tonight we held the final meeting of the Chickpea Lovers Club 🙁 As you may know, Rose (the only other member of CLC) is moving to Pennsylvania and I am moving to California. For a short time we were in the same state with the same passion for chickpeas, but unfortunately this time has come to an end. I am…

When I went to the New Harvest conference a few weekends ago they gave us a kit to test the Omega-3 levels in our blood. Then, after 30 days of taking New Harvest we can test it again and see if and/or how it’s changed. I haven’t had time to stab myself until today and thought I’d share the experience…

I conveniently “forgot” to take pictures of the bowl of cereal and granola bar I had today – hence the name of this post to remind me. I’m still within a good range of cals, so I’m not mad at me.

I’ve decided to start my training a little early since I will be traveling a bit over the next few months and will miss out on some key runs.

Before I left I had a piece of toast with PB, banana and jelly. Oh, and a lot of water. When I got…

One girl’s dessert is another man’s, “What is this weird stuff?!” I was craving ice cream, but we don’t have any so I had to make some. I made it with the recipe below and served it with a Vitatop. I made some for Ben too and his response was, “Ah, Babe. This is weird.” 🙁 You can’t please ’em…

I look forward to Friday Kickboxing class each week! This is definitely my favorite group fitness class ever!!! I only discovered KB a few months ago when I joined my gym and fell in love. I’m studying to become a personal trainer, but what I really want to do is teach kickboxing 🙂 These classes are in the usual gym…

This afternoon I met my friend Kristin and her dogs for lunch. We took a walk and chatted about the crazy events of life. My walking buddies Max and Willow: I packed my lunch to take over – a salad with veggies, chickpeas and tons of guacamole. I figure guac goes back fast and I refuse to let it go…
