Who else would title a post “The C Word” and put a picture of her self under it? I know. Thanks for reading. But, I’m not talking about the C word you’re probably thinking of, I’m talking about the COLD! It is painfully cold, as in if the air outside touches your skin, it burns. Ouch! I don’t know if…

Orange Foods – Pumpkin Oats
My mom said when I was little I used to love all orange foods…sweet potatoes, carrots and pumpkin! Well, I haven’t changed at all in this aspect!

Running Vest and Chickpea Casserole
This morning I added another layer to my running gear – a vest! This isn’t actually meant to be a “running” vest per se, but I needed something else to keep me warm without making me overheat. It worked perfectly! Before I left for my run I ate a small bowl of cereal. I knew I would be stalling for…

Questions, Comments…
My seventh grade science teacher would always say, “Questions? Comments? Complaints keep to yourself.” Ha, I love saying that now. I am totally digging all these questions from my anonymous question form. I’m going break up my answers in different posts because I don’t want it to get too boring… Question: How do you remain so positive? Monica: Ouch, are…
