First—6.5 miles on the trails!! This is the first time the weather has cooperated in 3 months. I live in Alabama, and it’s rarely this cold and wet for so long. The trail was really worn out from all the ice and melting ice. But, with half marathon training underway, I needed a place to …

Apparently Frankie approves of my trip today. He’s made himself right at home in my Whole Foods bag. Dinner was a new recipe for the crock-pot. Pork & peas. I used bone-in pork loin chops. The only way I like pork loin is to slow cook it or roast it. This is a much …
Run-2 miles Sugar-121 (why????) I love lazy Saturdays. It’s the one day of the week that I try to take for myself. As a teacher, I always have homework. There is just not enough time during the week to have a life and get all the school work done, but I insist on one …
Too bad I didn’t make my pork loin with field peas like I had planned. What did I do? I sat here on the phone/email for the past 5 hours trying to fix my issue with Windows Live Writer and WordPress. Apparently, when bluehost (my server) updated something, it sent my settings into freak out …
Or maybe I can add Joseph Scott to my Christmas card list.
I had an elaborate meal planned, but when it was time for dinner, I didn’t want it. I’m weird that way. I wanted something along the lines of comfort food. I’m not sick or anything, I was just craving something different. It was a great day today and I had already run, but I was …
This will be short and sweet because….i’m sleepy. First—Ran 4.5 miles!! I was tired before I got on the dreadmill, but watching Criminal Minds while on the hamster wheel helps a LOT! I did some stretching after. I need a long yoga session in a very bad way. I feel creaky lately. Breakfast- Oatmeal …
So, it’s been an interesting night already. As I sit here, Ice Dancing is on. I have to say, the flame girl takes the prize for the Huh? Award. But the guy who looks like the boy in Blue Lagoon is smoking the ice right now. I just had a long spin session with …
Since starting this endeavor to eat more foods with a powerful nutritional kick, I’ve noticed that everyone has their own interpretation of what exactly constitutes a “superfood”. I’ve found many lists and there are 4 things in common—oatmeal, yogurt, turkey, and fruit/vegetables. No big surprise there! I had another round of vertigo today. Thank goodness …
I found this wonderful idea for breakfast from Ashley. Her website is AMAZING. I’ve always enjoyed cheese and fruit, but never thought about putting them on an english muffin. Soooo good. It would have been perfect with some ground pepper, but I’m all out. How did I let THAT happen?? I added a bowl of …
It’s Friday night and I don’t feel like cooking. But I have a fridge with lots of produce left. But I don’t want to cook. But I have food. wash, rinse, repeat. Sigh. My version of Green. Roasted green veggies, including Broccoli, and balsamic mushrooms. Sautéed cabbage and fennel, in my favorite Circulon pan. I …
I overslept and decided to do a quick run anyway. I didn’t feel like I had time to make oatmeal. I knew I wanted to eat something off the superfood list, and threw together stuff in a bowl to take with me on the drive to school. Fasting B.S-119 (yay!) Run: 2.5 miles, slow and …
This morning, I remembered that I’m trying to incorporate as many superfoods into my day. Well, dinner is a pork loin with rutabagas and carrots, and, while good and healthy, they do not contain any foods from the original list. Breakfast was oatmeal with almond butter, flax and gingerbread granola. I’m amazed that in a …
I found myself checking the local news (myfoxclosings.com) to see if my school was closed for weather. Alas, no dice. But, however, I did notice that one school was closed and I’m wondering if it was for snow or for questionable practices in the land of Deliverance. Uncle Joe’s Tot Locker Who in the world …
When it comes to snacking, there is a world of difference between them. Whether it’s the mid afternoon 3pm slump or the very necessary pre-workout fuel, what we grab and eat is just as important as the 3 squares a day. For me, as a diabetic, I can’t visit the vending machine for a Snickers …
Those nasty spots on my dishes and the pond scum left in the bottom of my glasses…they are about to be history. I just read about this!! I’m going to use this in my dishwasher with each load. I can use generic, unsweetened, old school kool-aid. The key ingredient is citric acid. …
