I’d say “Happy Monday” but that just feels so…wrong. Let’s face it, even if you’re lucky enough to have your dream job, Mondays are just plain daunting. If you’re reading my blog, you’re probably just like me (although probably not NEARLY as disorganized): your schedule during the week is absolutely packed and by Friday you’re completely wiped.
So I always try to start my week off with a nice lil morning workout and a good breakfast. (Please note: This does not always happen) Continue Reading →
Wacky Food Combos: I Can’t Believe It’s Not…
Indoor Picnic in 2007...the last time I baked a pie!
As you can probably tell by now, I am not quite the “ complete package” healthy living blogger. As mentioned in my first post, I can barely get it together enough to PLAN a meal, much less cook it, much less take a picture! However, as an avid reader and fan of these blogs, I know it is very interesting to see how others eat. I’m still not sure WHY. I just know the first time I read SELF mag’s Eat Like Me blog a couple years ago I was hooked. There is something so fascinating about glimpsing into a healthy person’s daily food choices. Some of my favorites now include PB Fingers, Greek Yogurt and Apple Slices (love her recipes) and Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life
I can’t share any recipes with you…because I don’t have any right now…because I don’t cook very often. However, what I can share are some truly unique food combos that remind me of favorite foods that I’m either A) too lazy to make or B) too worried about the nutrition facts (full disclosure here ALWAYS). In a tribute to my old faithful I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray, here are the “I Can’t Believe It’s Not!” food combos…
**Some of this may not look as good as it tastes…remember, don’t judge a book by it’s cover 🙂 Continue Reading →
I Don't Wanna Run! I'd rather hang out with Kelly and Brenda!
Happy Saturday! Are you procrastinating like me right now? Over the past few months of marathon training, I developed a reliable Saturday routine. I would wake up by 7 or 8, think about my long run, stress about my messy apartment and relocate to the couch. From there, I’d spend 2-4 hours devouring a giant breakfast (convincing myself it was fuel for my run) and watching SoapNet’s 90210/One Tree Hill Breakfast in Bed. Next, I’d either walk around the block to Dunkin Donuts or put on a pot of coffee to give me a little caffeine boost. Finally, at around 2:00, I’d head out for my long run.
(Don’t want to read the rest of the post? I understand…it is Saturday after all, click here to link to the marathon playlist in iTunes…maybe read the rest of the post while you download?)
Imperfections Make Us Special
The rips make the jeans!
Or at least this is what I tell myself to feel better about all of MY imperfections. Because this mantra would make me EXTREMELY special. Since this blog is all about transparency and “embracing” the little kinks, I feel it is only fitting that I share some of my “flaws” with you every Friday :-). Think about your favorite jeans and what you like most about them: My guess is it’s the rips and worn-in quality, not the perfect fold. In other words, flaws add character. So now that you are on the edge of your seats, here are some of mine:
