I skipped breakfast this morning (other than my usual vat of coffee) because I knew we were ordering out (Chinese food) for lunch. I had Broccoli with garlic sauce and brown rice. I ate about half of it, which equals 2 cups of broccoli and 1 cup of brown rice: Calorie-wise I'm sure it was … Continue reading Takeout Tuesday

Back on track day 1. It didn't start so great since I left for work without my food. Thankfully I have stuff that I keep at my office for those "just in case" days. Breakfast was an Amy's Organic Black Bean and Tomato Burrito, and lunch was an Amy's Mexican Casserole, topped with guacamole. Got … Continue reading mEatless Monday (and March summary)

Long Run Sunday

I had a really good run today, and I could have kept going but Lucy started beating on the (treadmill room) door at about 80 minutes. I started my cool-down and finished at 90 minutes and 8.3 miles. After I finished up I threw on a tutu and took a few shots trying to find … Continue reading Long Run Sunday

I'm up a few pounds (again - UGH!), so I decided it's time to try out, and come up with, some new recipes. I headed over to Pinterest for a little inspiration, and after seeing several variations of meals that combine chickpeas and avocados I came up with this refreshing "salad." It's really more like … Continue reading Mashed Chickpea and Avocado Salad

Happy Pi Day!

I'm sort of a math geek so of course I had to take advantage of Pi Day! At 3:14 on 3/14 I ran 3.14 miles in 31:40 :) My running has been going really well this month, with the exception of a "twinge" in my right foot that started earlier this week. I'm pretty sure … Continue reading Happy Pi Day!

While that's been the situation lately more often than not, I got on there today and banged out a 10k in just over an hour (1:01:05 to be exact)! Prior to this I did have a good speed-work session on Saturday, but between the massive amounts of snow we've had lately which has resulted in … Continue reading Tales from the Treadmill
