Sunday is one of my usual rest days so I was ready to go this morning. I did 5.3 miles – there is no specific reason for this distance on Mondays other than it is the loop around Ben’s neighborhood. I felt good the entire time and felt pretty fast too. It was dark when I first started and I…

POM Wonderful – Review
The lovely people at POM Wonderful recently sent me some of their juice to sample. It’s 100% pomegranate juice (from concentrate).

I actually discovered…

Soyrizo!!!
I love when vegetarian substitutes taste just as good, if not better than the “real” thing. Soyrizo of those things. I had it with some egg whites, ww tortilla and salad. Dessert was a lot of grapes. Lunch held me over very well and I wasn’t that hungry around 3:30p when I made a smoothie and topped it with cereal Jamby…

Instead of turning to food when you are tired you can help prevent fatigue with certain foods. For example, having an iron deficiency often results in fatigue. Red meat is one of the best sources for iron, but I…

Usual oats with a crunch
Is everyone as happy as me that it’s Thursday? I am so ready for the weekend!!! I slept in a little bit today and feel so much better than I did yesterday. I think part of the reason I didn’t want to run yesterday was I was sooo tired. I am a huge advocate for enough sleep – it makes…
