Of course I had to have some of the Irish Soda bread for breakfast! I know I am going to eat it anyways, so it’s best to actually eat it during a meal rather then sneak slices in between meals all day. I toasted up a piece and slathered it with almond butter = divine. On the side I…

Dark Chocolate and Jammies
Some days I’m not going to stop eating ate eight (even though I think I’m really onto something with the idea)…some days call for dark chocolate and jammies well into the evening. This was one of those nights. This afternoon I wanted to celebrate St.Patrick’s Day, but green beer isn’t my thing. But all is not lost because - carbs…

Running with a Smile
I did my first outside run today and I think I was running with a smile on my face the whole time 🙂 Stats: 4miles in about 39 minutes. I’ve really slowed down on my time off, but this was my first real run since my injury, so patience is needed! When I got back I had one thing on…

Lentils and Rice
Today I was working with: lentils, rice, tomato paste and stewed tomatoes. I considered making the Lentil Loaf I made a year ago (blogs are so cool in how you can keep track of that stuff!). But, I decided to wing it instead of using a recipe. I figured I would cook the lentils, mix them up with tomato sauce…

Not the full story
The pictures of my eats today definitely don’t show the full story. I had this “third grade lunch” of PB&J, carrots and yogurt. But – I added hummus to the carrots and chia seeds & cereal to the yogurt too! Then, I went for a long walk to enjoy this amazing weather we’re having 🙂 It makes me happy. When…

I only discovered my love for hot sauce in the last two years. Even though I grew up in Pico Rivera (where there was an earthquake this morning!!!), in a Mexican household that was never short on salsa or Tapatio I always stayed away from anything remotely hot. But now that I have opened up my world to hot sauce…

Rule #34: Don’t Buy It
Healthy Living Rule #34: If you don’t want to eat it, Don’t buy it. This is a simple rule, but one I sometimes break. Like I did today for example. I just ran into the store for one thing. Yes, I actually ran. Now I that I have clearance from the PT I run everywhere = around the supermarket aisles,…

I’m In The Men’s Room
This week my gym is renovating the women’s locker room, so all women have to use the Men’s Locker room and the men are using the Women’s. Aren’t you curious about boys bathrooms and changing rooms? I kinda am, but this one would have been more fun if there actually were men in it 😉 It was just like the…

Raw and Fried
I ate Raw veggies and Fried veggies for lunch today. First in the form of a salad: and then in the form of chips. Both were delicious in their own way 🙂 But, I’m going out of order here, this morning Ben and I went for a walk. It was a gloomy day, but at least it’s not raining…
