I have never been able to (or really ever wanted to) blow a snot rocket. Maybe I am a lady, maybe I don’t possess the snot rocket gene, but I can’t bring myself to do it. But, when I run – so does my nose. My answer to this is a folded up paper towel* tucked in my shorts or…

Fruity & Ruby
After a big, late lunch all I wanted for dinner was fruit! I cut up an apple, 2 kiwis and some watermelon. On the side I had a piece of cheese toast – this is one of my favorite savory things to eat. Normally I’m a sweets girl all the way. I have been having a very hard time randomly…

Day of rest & Raspados

Push-ups Challenge

Kick the food police to the curb
The fourth principle of Intuitive Eating is Challenge the Food Police. Scream a loud “NO” to thoughts in your head that declare you’re “good” for eating under 1000 calories or “bad” because you ate a piece of chocolate cake. The Food Police monitor the unreasonable rules that dieting has created. The police station is housed deep in your psyche, and…

Sloppy Seconds
I had leftovers for dinner – I like them, but I thought Sloppy Seconds was a more fun title 🙂 Leftovers are so great – you don’t have to cook, but you still get all the deliciousness of a home cooked meal. I had the Peanut Noodles from the other night – those are chickpeas (the first time I made…
