Finding Radiance

Another super nice weekend! There are those times when life is just really good, you know?  This is one of those times  I did, however, have to pay for John’s football meal from week 11.  He decided on Indian food, so we headed down on Saturday to Saratoga to hit up Little India: I like [...]

Saturday is bike day!  I was up pretty early, so I had a piece of toast and pear/cranberry jam. I don’t want to say that I was waiting for John to wake up because he noted that I seem to write that a lot on my blog.  So, we will just say I was up [...]

Woke up to the most gorgeous morning, although it was very chilly. We hit an overnight low of 43 – can you believe that? I wanted something warm and toasty, so I made protein waffles and topped with an apple cranberry topping. It was good enough that I am going to write down the recipe [...]

Palak Chole or Chickpeas and Spinach.  This is a very easy recipe to whip up.  Do yourself a favor and  use low sodium canned items.   The ingredient list is mostly spices, so don’t let it scare you.  It happens to be vegan, too.  Can someone tell me if this is gluten free?  I think it [...]

Sunday and back to work again.  The weather has quieted down.  Since my chain was not working well and we had to go grocery shopping, we just drove to breakfast.  Back to Panera Bread for bagels!  We need more than 2 bagel places around here within an 8-mile radius. Blueberry with reduced fat cream cheese [...]

Slept pretty good last night and got up at about 6:50, which is pretty good sleeping in for me I had a protein drink and biked to the gym in gorgeous weather! Did the iron – trying to do less weight and more reps. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Squats 3 sets of 8 at [...]

It happened – the closing is done! But first, I’ll start off the morning.  Had a protein shake and headed out to the gym.  I got my first recognition from the Shape magazine article that was posted there.  One of the employees came up and said “I didn’t know that was you!”  I happened to [...]

Woke up around 6 am this morning, hearing Pixie playing out in the hallway.  I think I dozed for a while and maybe slept more?  Not sure if the balance bar I had later on in the evening mattered or not as far as helping me sleep better.  Need to keep experimenting. Regular readers know [...]

Today is John’s and my anniversary!  13 years ago we were married in the flat irons of Boulder, Colorado. It was a gorgeous day – snow the day before, sunny and 70 the day of.  That’s Boulder for you! You know one of the fun parts of this day?  For my bouquet, I went to [...]

What a soggy day today!  For some reason, rainy days make me really snacky.  No weight workout today as I have the race tomorrow and I want to rest my hamstring.  Feels much better, though. I was going to pick more blueberries with my mom today, but it was raining all day, so nixed that. [...]
