    Who’s Bad?

    Yesterday I had a super busy day! I started it off right though, with a another delicious banana scramble. This time, I kept it on the stove for a little bit longer, and it wasn’t as mushy! I love these things! My new favorite breakfast. Banana scramble with a side of fresh strawberries. Yum.     I kept lunch light yesterday with some Amy’s Lentil Vegetable  Soup. I love Amy’s soups so much! I really like that a bunch of them are light in sodium too.  I also sprinkled some Special K crackers on top.   I packed a dinner yesterday (a PBJ, apple and Clif Z Bar) because I had plans to…

    Sweet Glasses and Rajma Masala

    I hope everyone is having a great Monday!! I woke up this morning super early. I think it was because I went to bed at 8:30PM last night (I was exhausted, since I ran a little race yesterday morning called the Boilermaker). I was also feeling a bit sore in my right leg/outside hip area. Nothing a day of rest won’t cure. 😉  Anyway, for breakfast I had a chocolate cherry bomb in my sweet new pint glass! 🙂 We got these awesome glasses in our goody bags yesterday after the race. And I swear, the shake tasted way better in this glass than usual! In my cherry bomb: 1/2…

    Bring on the Boilermaker

    Okay, I guess if I’m not ready by now, I won’t ever be ready!

A fan (for sleeping comfortably!) I think that may be it..besides general toiletries and such. Breakfast this morning…

    Should You Run with a Cold?

    I think I may have come down with a head cold. Not exactly sure how, but last night I started to feel a sore throat coming on, and this morning I woke up with a stuffy nose. Not fun, my friends. Especially when I have my first long distance race on Sunday. This morning I drank lots of water, took a mulitvitamin and some vitamin C, and made a chocolate strawberry protein smoothie in a mug. Ingredients in the smoothie: 1/2 cup of almond breeze, 1/2 scoop of chocolate rice protein, 1/2 tsp of maca powder and a handful of frozen strawberries. It still tasted a bit gritty from the…
