Things are clicking along slowly. I got in some good workouts this week including running and 2 body-weight strength workouts. Things were CRAZY this past week at work and morning CrossFit did not happen. I hope to have a calmer week and better sleep this week. Monday: 3 miles Tuesday: 3 rounds of the following: …

I can finally turn on my oven! The temperatures are turning more fall-like and that means roasted meat and vegetables. I bought a beef tenderloin and had great aims to do something fancy to it. Adding bacon is as fancy as I got. This is a throw-together and let the oven do the work thing. …
Random thoughts is about all I have on my mind today. I think I slept enough to catch up. Since it was slightly foggy outside, I grabbed the camera and keys and went exploring. I got some new shoes! Now lets just hope I can enjoy running again. Lately, it’s been abysmal. Crossing my …
This is a big bowl of comfort food and it did not take long at all to make it. I started with this recipe from Sarah Fragoso’s Everyday Paleo Thai Cuisine which is an unbelievably authentic book with recipes she perfected while traveling around Thailand. I then tweaked it a bit because I wanted a …

This will probably be the last trip to Pepper Place in Birmingham for the season. I will get back to Bham in a couple of weeks, but I’m not sure how long the market will be open. I try to get over there twice a month and stock up on produce to last a couple …

This morning got off to a bad start. Glucose 227. That’s crazy high for me. I need to be below 110 and when my diet is in check and all things are moovin’ and groovin’ on the Paleo train, it is consistently below 100. This is a load of junk and it’s my own fault. …
The older I get, the more I love the arrival of fall. December is still my most favorite month but October is the beginning of the best days of the year. Cooler weather, beautiful scenes, and the warp speed into the holidays. As a teacher, is it a fantastic fun-filled month with the kids. And, …
