Sides: ~3/4 cup blueberries & cherries with mint. Pecan Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough (toasted at work, [...]
Day number 2 I made it out for a run!! WOOH! I love morning runs. I never feel rushed or “competitive”. I run a comfortable distance at my own pace. It’s the most peaceful thing I do for myself. I had a few bites of cereal before heading out and made a Jolly Green Breakfast [...]
I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]
I try… but I don’t always have well balanced meals. Lunch today is a perfect example of this. I knew I wanted a big apple that has been sitting in my fridge. I figured that I would start there and see what happened. Bowl #1: ~1/2 cup (last of my big container) Chobani Greek Yogurt, [...]

More Pancake(s)….mmmmm. Today’s Bolgspiration: Eat, Live, Run Let me tell you a story.

It was another smoothie Friday this morning, mostly because I’m going home (I know AGAIN…there is a barrel tasting at a local winery that I HAVE to go to haha) and had to finish off some spinach. But check out that photo…where’s the granola? You would never know from this picture but there is a [...]

Into my blender went: 1 frozen banana, 2/3 scoop chocolate whey protein, 1 scoop Amazing Grass Green Superfood, 1 handful of spinach (what was left in my bag), 2 tsp Hershey’s Unsweetened Cacao powder, 1/3 [...]
Apparently I have an over packing problem. I struggle to close sandwiches, wraps and omelets in the same way that I struggle with my suit case every time I travel. This morning I woke up and decided it was an egg day. The sky was dark and a misty rain was present in the cold [...]
