A Lazy Sunday
Actually, I most of my Sunday was lazy…minus my eight mile run! I woke up yesterday morning and had my Trader Joe’s goods on the brain. Especially the pumpkin butter. I had to have more TJ’s cinnamon raisin bread as well…so breakfast and pre-run fuel was cinnamon raisin toast, slathered with TJ’s almond butter and pumpkin butter, with a banana. I ended up taking the banana off, since for some reason the texture of a banana on toast has been bothering me. Weird? Yes.

Five Running Gadgets I Can’t Live Without

Chips that Pop
Thanks to those of you who responded the the questions on my last post, it was very helpful! I have to learn not to beat myself up over the bad decisions I make. I just have to realize that I’m human and I’m not perfect and I can’t live my life feeling guilty over food all the time! It is not healthy. Anyway, lunch today was just a Morning Star Farms chick’n patty on a whole wheat sandwich thin, along with some Popchips! The lovely people at Popchips sent me some samples to try out. I tried the sour cream and onion flavor. They come in a convient 100 calorie…
