Finding Radiance

Okay, not on the road traveling per se – but the bikes are out!
And a note on the sweet potato muffins from earlier, I used the Spark recipe calculator to calculate nutritionals.  It’s pretty cool!
First off, though  – must get to the important breakfast stuff.  Banana custard oats topped with pecan butter and strawberry all [...]

Happy Monday!  It was nice to take a little bloggy picture break yesterday.  Don’t worry, I ate healthy
Today started Stage 7 of New Rule of Lifting.  The final cut.  Each day will be different for the next 2 weeks.

Barbell squat:  1 set of 8 at 45 pounds (warmup), 1 set of 8 at [...]

Packed a lot into today!  I tried to sleep in a little later and managed to sleep until about 7, which was good.  I needed to wait until it was light enough outside to bike to the gym.  Temps were upper 40s this morning, so definitely doable.
NROLW Stage 6 A:  last workout!

Negative chinups:  3 sets [...]

I actually slept until 7 a.m. this morning!  Yay!  It’s so hard for me to sleep that late, although I didn’t get to bed until after midnight.
It looked pretty cloudy this morning, so we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to ride or not.
Breakfast was so yummy:

40 grams oats
4 grams cocoa powder
1 [...]

Phew – I am feeling a little overwhelmed and busy lately!
A couple people commented about not seeing my triathlon videos – so here is the link to the post of the recap!
I did really well last night and didn’t eat any carrot cake that was for Mom and niece Devon:
I just had tea and snacked [...]

Gorgeous day today! It was cold when we got up, 38 degrees. At least we weren’t going riding right away, so it had time to warm up into the 40s LOL!
Breakfast was pumpkin oats with the fresh made pumpkin. I love it! I like canned pumpkin, but the fresh is so [...]

Sounds like most of you love cheese like I do!  Yay!
Going to a Tupperware party later, so thought I would squeeze in a partial post in case I don’t get by later.
Preworkout snack today:

My chewy granola bar.  This was good for over an hour, so I am happy with that!  Biked to the gym under [...]

Yeah!  Football!  We grocery shopped yesterday.That meant we didn’t need to go after bagels, so we could bike there.  It was nice weather for biking, a little foggy, but not cold.  I was hungry by the time we got to Panera Bread!  It’s about 8 miles each way.
French toast bagel and coffee.  So good!

Fueled by [...]

It’s my weekend.  Yay!  Another chilly night in the 40s.  It’s crazy!  No gym this morning, but could I sleep in?  No!  I woke up at 6am…. sigh.  Then I just laid there for an hour trying to make myself get back to sleep LOL!
Fueled up for my ride with protein pancakes and blueberry sauce!

Extra [...]

Long post coming up, so grab a cup of coffee.  Dang, what a day!  Got up and fueled up for a big bike ride today.  Had banana oats cooked with cinnamon and with some fresh  made peanut butter on top.  Sooo good.

We decided to bike to the Saratoga County fair today (my BIL gave us [...]
