Heeeey Everybody. How’s your Friday going? Mine’s spectacular – and I’m keeping my promise and enjoying every last bit o’ July. My friend, Missy, asked me if I wanted to go for a run after work (she works halfies too on Friday,) so we met up around 2:00. Not the smartest time to go on [...]

Good morning bloggy friends! Before I get started, I wanted to ask your opinion on my new header! The hubski made it for me, and for having no experience really in Photoshop, I think he did a wonderful job. What do you think? It’s Friiiidayyy! Man did Thursday night seem to fly by fast. Well, [...]

…consider more factors before running in it!! Since I’m partaking in my very first race here in nine days (what?! Yikes!) I’ve been researching running and everything to do with running like crazy.

Tonight’s recipe was from a Betty Crocker cookbook I have (of course, with my own tweaks!) The dish is called Creamy Quinoa Primavera: Ingredients: 1 cup of [...]

You know what’s comical? Today I talked about people who can sabotage our healthy habits, or “healthy habit haters,” as Bites for the Better and Gena, the Fitnessista cleverly puts it, on my guest post today. Alas, I came into work today discovered it was a food day! A “food day,” where I work, is [...]

It seems like the word “stress” is being used a lot in the blogging community lately.

July 28, 2009 By 9 Comments
Talk about having a hard time waking up! I knew I had already overslept was consciously on my third alarm this morning, so I couldn’t go back to sleep. I kept myself awake by just wiggling my toes and fingers for a while, and not letting myself stop and fall asleep until I gradually awoke. [...]
