I decided to mix things up for breakfast yesterday.  mix1 sent some samples of their protein shakes so I figured I’d give it a shot. mix1 is an enhanced protein shake.  It’s reccomended as a post workout shake,  part of a meal, or a snack. Here are the stats: 15 grams of superior whey protein [...]

I’m enjoying my last days of freedom before Marathon Training. Doing anything and everything besides running cuz I’ll be doing a lot of it for the next 18 weeks.  Training hard from June 14 until race day on October 17.  I like running for fun and picking and choosing my distance, but preparing for my [...]

I tried a new flavor of Puffins this morning.  Jared bought a box of their Honey flavored cereal.  It was okkkk.  Not the same as my beloved peanut butter.  But it was pretty good with a spoonful of Barney Butter. After my mini-Clif bar mid-morning snack, I was ready for a filling lunch.  I ordered [...]

Saturday nights are going to be like a “school night” from now on.  I’ll be working on Sundays from 8 am-5pm.  And depending on the date, I might have to head to cheerleading practice after work. After spending the morning running and the afternoon drinking, I knew I had to make last night even more [...]

I don’t know what was more exciting: Running in Harpoon Brewery‘s 9th annual 5 mile race or wearing our team t-shirts for the world to see! I ate a Blueberry Raspberry Bran muffin before leaving for Harpoon Brewery. We arrived at 9 for the 10 am race so there was plenty of time for pictures. [...]

It was so nice to wake up in my childhood bedroom on Friday morning.  I added fresh strawberries to a container of vanilla Chobani for breakfast. I spent the morning running errands: Target, the craft store, and the vet.  Some things are much easier to accomplish when I’m outside of the city!  I can drive, [...]

My legs are tired when I think about everything that happened today! My mom and I walked all over Midtown, from 10:30 until 5:30 when we caught the train home.  We stopped for lunch and sat for 20 minutes, but otherwise it was go-go-go.  It was great to stroll around the city, take photos, and [...]

Finally, a blog post that gets back to my roots.  My meals and my moves! I’m still keeping it real…real simple and hopefully real healthy. I had a bowl of vanilla yogurt with granola and Barney Butter to start my day. Lunch was a bowl of soup and some snacks while I was at work.  [...]

Sometimes it’s great to get away for an afternoon.  Monday afternoon was well spent wandering around the adorable seaside town of Rockport, MA. I was snapping photos at every turn.  Rockport is beautiful! We wandered down Bear Skin Neck, stopping inside the shops along the narrow road. I could shop all day in the variety [...]

Tremont 647 hosts a pajama brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  For the Memorial Day holiday, brunch was also held on Monday morning.  All of the staff actually dressed in pajamas!  I wish the customers could wear pj’s too.  I ordered a cappuccino to kick start my morning. Jared and I split a Homemade strawberry [...]
