It didn’t take long for me to change my Marathon Training plan.  I decided to rest today and run tomorrow.  And then I remembered that I’m meeting with a personal trainer tomorrow and taking a pilates reformer class on Thursday.  So I guess I’ll fit running in whenever I can??? Not worried.  It’s all good. [...]

As soon as we woke up yesterday morning, I ushered Jared out the door for some calisthenics.  I planned on running 2 miles but he petered out after 5 minutes of slow jogging.  We power walked back to Jared’s parents’ house, probably covering 1 mile total.  Then I got into training mode. We did jumping [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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.  [...]

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 [...]

There’s no better way to spend a Saturday than out at the old ball game. My Saturday started off slow.  I didn’t take a photo of breakfast so that means I probably just ate cereal. After errands and getting stuff done around the house, it was time for lunch.  I enjoyed a Watermelon Lemonade. I [...]

Today is pretty much a repeat of yesterday.  It’s still HOT out, I had more job training, I ate the same foods. Last night Miles was acting like the King of Pride Rock.  He was perched on the deck, keeping an eye on what was going on in the house and in the yard.  He [...]
