Finding Radiance

I slept great last night!  Probably because  I took a Tylenol PM since my back was bothering me a touch.  I think my disk will probably bother me forever, I guess.  Interesting note,  5 months after herniating my disk and I still have skin numbness in my knee.  I am beginning to think that is [...]

Unbelievably gorgeous day today!  It was chilly this morning, though.  I was ready for a warm brekkie.  I had forethought last night to soak some steel cut oats, so they were quicker to cook this morning.  Love that technique.
I did the usual banana custard style topped with some strawberry jam and cashew butter.

My mouth and [...]

Woke up to a nice morning for breakfast on the porch today!  I made some protein waffles and did a fun sandwich combo out of them.  I mashed a banana and put it in between the waffles and topped with the last of the chocolate homemade fluff.

Very, very good!
Then I got caught up on emails [...]

Thursday is the new bagel day!  John plays poker on Tuesday nights and can’t get his butt out of bed, so we moved bagel day from Wed to Thurs.  It actually works a little better for me because I am not biking after a strength workout.  I had a protein drink and then we headed [...]

Happy Independence Day everyone!  Woo Hoo!  I actually am working today, but sneaking in a picnic.  Long post ahead, fyi.
So, the 100-mile ride yesterday.  Surprised?  So were we!  The plan was for 85 miles.  We started the day with a good brekkie.  I had banana custard oats topped with some extra almond butter and fluff.  [...]

I am glad you all enjoy the Friday blooming posts   I would love to work in a nursery, but they are seasonal jobs around here, but maybe I could work it in. (Like I need another job….)
Breakfast began with coffee brewing and some protein waffle making.

Topped with banana/maple syrup mash.
The weather forecast called [...]

First off, thank you all so much for your comments on my 100-pound anniversary.  Nothing like tooting your own horn, right?   Guess that is what a blog is all about.
So, yesterday was a really long bike ride and I needed to decompress last night, so I saved the recap until today.
We wanted a [...]

Doesn’t metric century sound so much more than 60 miles?  Woke up to a gorgeous day today and a fabulous bowl of oats.
Pumpkin custard oats sweetened with molasses, fresh cranberries (okay, frozen), and topped with toasted pecans.

That and some coffee seemed like a good starter fuel for a long bike ride!
We packed up water and [...]

Slice of Life Giveaway ends on Friday at noon!
Last day of my work week.  Yay!  I woke up a little too early today, and went down to make coffee only to find we didn’t have enough!  So I was on the porch at 7 am roasting coffee in my jammies.  John forgets to tell me [...]

Gorgeous day today!

We woke up and wiggled our legs to see how they felt after yesterday’s ride, which was pretty good.  So, in pre-coffee insanity, we decided to bike to bagels this morning.  My legs aren’t really all that sore, and my back feels pretty good.  We headed on out to Panera Bread.  8 miles [...]
