Finding Radiance

I received my Black and Decker Toaster Oven from CNS stores last week.

I have to say that it shipped really fast, so kudos to them! Pretty sleek.  This is also a convection oven, which is pretty cool.  We were doing the standard bread toasting in it at first, but I wanted to see how the [...]

I think this is a most appropriate review and giveaway for this time of year, don’t you?  Nobody likes to talk about chafing, but it is a fact of life for all of us.  The nice folks at Lanacane must have seen how sweaty I get during my workouts and sent me some of their  [...]

So you all saw my sneak tease picture yesterday:

I was sent some Slice of Life adult gummy vitamins to try!  I received a bottle of Vitamin D3 and Omega 3.6.9s.

These gummies are gluten free and made with natural colors and flavors:  Ingredients are: glucose syrup, natural cane juice, gelatin, citric acid, lactic acid, tumeric and [...]

I am going to do a review on these products.  I actually won a drawing for a basket of items from the Ginger People, so these were not provided to me for review, but I enjoyed them so much I figure I would talk about them.
This box was amazingly generous!

I am a big ginger fan.  [...]

While I sit here in the happy land of Vicodin, I thought I would post my thoughts on the Gym in a Bag.
I was given the opportunity to review the Gym in a Bag, which the company was kind enough to send me.   You all know I love strength training and believe everyone should be [...]

A few weeks ago I had posted about my love of steel cut oats (or any type of oats….) and the overnight soaking method for them.  Country Choice Organic read my post and kindly sent me some of their quick cooking steel cut oats to try!

Normally when things have been processed to make them quick [...]

After today’s workout, I came home to protein pancakes.  I left out the protein powder, as I need to be careful with calorie intake this week with the lessening workouts.  I usually burn 600 calories or more on hard workout days, and today was only 300.  Need to account for that!

Got right to work and [...]

* Final challenge check in tomorrow!!*
Thank you so much for the congratulations on our anniversary! 
I decided to try the full format for the duathlon today of run/bike/run.  The temperature was pretty much perfect outside – mid 50s, although a little wet.  I was not feeling very hungry this morning after dinner last night, [...]

Thank you all so much for the nice comments on my running story.   I didn’t think it would be so much of an inspiration.  Now – go get those sneaks on!  Woke up to maybe a little less humid today?  Hope the humidity breaks soon.
Preworkout snack of Ezekiel bread with apricot jam and [...]

Hi everyone!  I don’t have to serve on the jury, but it was close – only by luck of the draw (literally) did I not get picked to sit on the jury.  It took all day to seat a jury, so I was there from 8:45 to a little after 5 pm!
Anyway, on to the [...]
