Hi there bloggies: Is it really Tuesday night already? The week certainly is not flying by (by any means) but at least tomorrow is hump day! (I might be celebrating a little early, huh?) Remember back to Thursday and Friday of last week when I was getting back on track with eating more protein and…… Continue reading Mini Vacation & Carrots
Today is the first day I am trying a “revamped” diet. Low carbs – or should I say lower carbs. The idea makes me frown a little bit 😦 I enjoyed an iced coffee with skim milk as I drove to work and it was really refreshing. I had a Kashi granola bar at 8:30…… Continue reading Friday
For the past week or two I have been stepping up my exercise routines. Last week I exercised FIVE DAYS of the seven day week. This week has been the same – and by exercise I am including the brisk walks that I take, as long as they are half an hour or longer. Last…… Continue reading Stepping it up
Good morning bloggies. How is your Saturday going so far? My day is not off to a smashing start, I must say. Last night I set my alarm for 6:15 AM so that I could get up, eat something and get ready to go for a run before it got really hot outside. Then I…… Continue reading Saturday’s Breakfast
The other night I was so sad to learn that Nora Ephron passed away on Tuesday. I loved her writing, and I will always remember this one article she wrote that was in The New Yorker about her apartment in New York. I just loved it. I loved Heartburn and my mom loved I Feel…… Continue reading Good Advice
On Thursday night I knew I had to work late on Friday. I told my co-worker that I would be in ‘later in the morning’ on Friday. Usually I try to get to work before 7:30 AM. Today I was aiming to get in at 9:30 AM. My alarm still went off early – 6…… Continue reading Friday AM Run
Hi there blog readers. I hope you have all had a good Tuesday. Personally, I cannot believe that tomorrow is Wednesday (ok, I just typed Friday for some reason – would it not be amazing if tomorrow was Friday and we already had another weekend?) – but really, Monday and Tuesday were good days, I…… Continue reading Froyo for Dinner…
So, I promised a brief recap of Sunday’s race – and I’m not about to let you down! On Saturday afternoon I got into Boston where I was spending the night so I didn’t have to worry about getting to the start line by 7:45. My hotel was an easy walk right to the Boston…… Continue reading Sunday’s Race…
Happy weekend, Bloggies! I really took it easy with my exercise this week – it was in the nineties most of the week and it really just zapped me of all energy I was able to muster (which wasn’t all that much to begin with!). I guess I felt a little better taking it easy…… Continue reading Pre-Race Saturday
My morning was sort of funny today. I left the house without a smoothie and without coffee. I stopped at Honey Dew Donuts and ordered a medium iced coffee with milk and (in all caps as I was ordering) NO SUGAR, please. I was so thankful to have an iced coffee on my ride to…… Continue reading Salads and French Cooking
