Whenever my weight creeps up over 119 I start to freak out. That time has come and so I need to re-focus and start tracking again. Thanks to my friend Michele I decided to start mid-way through yesterday instead of waiting until this morning. As you can see by my food log from yesterday, it … Continue reading Time to Get Back on Track

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.

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

Week in Review: I Choose Happiness

January 5, 2014 Laura Runs a Latte Running plant-strong, Running, vegan, Vegetarian, weight loss

It was a good week for both food and running :) I went from 122 back down to 119, and I ran 29.4 miles. It's amazing what a difference logging everything makes! And for running, I decided to stop worrying about speed/pace, and just run for the sake of running. I think that's made … Continue reading Week in Review: I Choose Happiness

Today's recipe is a simple yet delicious (and mostly healthy) dessert. Also, since it only yields 10 balls, you could accidentally eat them all for about 1000 calories ;) Cocoa Nutty Dough Balls Ingredients: - 1/3c oat flour (you can grind up rolled oats) - 1/3c ground pistachios - 1/3c ground cocoa-roasted almonds - … Continue reading Cocoa Nutty Dough Balls
