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 bread….

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 pepper flakes and soy sauce– perfect combo…

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 now! My physical therapist has been taping…

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! ************************************************** We stayed up a little past our bed…

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 I was…

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 spinning class….

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…

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 waffle with almond butter and…

S-t-r-e-t-c-h and Making Health the Goal
I rarely stretch, but my IT Band issues are making me realize that I should incorporate a good stretching program into my daily life (at least after running!). I found this video on Sparkpeople that shows some good stretches. The moves in this video are for the lower body – just where I need it. But, I think we all…
