Finding Radiance

When talking about Fage the other day, I thought I would also share some of the other foods brands I love.  Normally, I find no-name brands to be just fine the majority of time. However, there are some foods where I am extremely brand loyal. First off?  I love fresh blueberries, but alas, they are [...]

I have a link to this in the recipe section, but thought I would give a step by step on making the sauce you see so often on here. You can use any blueberries you want, but I happen to prefer Wyman’s because they are sweeter than other blueberries and they are the tiny wild [...]

Well, we did not get all of that snow predicted!  Or it just was slop and melted fast, so no shoveling needed to get to the gym…. phew!  The workout: Warm up of 10 minutes on the stationary bike. I decided to change up the strength workout this week by doing lighter weights with higher [...]

Hello and happy Monday!  I am glad you enjoyed my winter pictures from yesterday.  I love my camera (even though I drool over DSLR!).  I made up a lifting program to do for the month of December.  It will be 2 alternating workouts for the next few weeks.  Today: Big muscle group start: Chin up [...]

No formal workout today since my last 5K of the season is tomorrow.  Forecast is 30 degrees, which is 15 degrees warmer than last year!  Plus I am not sick. Stacked up some protein pancakes with blueberries for breakfast.  Yay for superfoods! Made myself productive today with some cleaning and organizing before I get to [...]

Hope you are all having a great holiday week so far!  I woke up and noticed the temp was around 40, so I went out for a quick 3.2 mile jog.  I normally do not jog 2 days in a row, but tomorrow will be a rest day in case I run the Turkey Trot [...]

(I forgot to hit ‘publish’ last night   ) Today was a run day.  Too cold to go in the upper 20s when I first got up, so I had breakfast first I worked for a while until the temp hit 39 degrees and headed out.  Pre run fuel: The addiction is still alive and [...]

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 [...]

On the straight and narrow today after the Chinese food debacle of yesterday. Made my good protein pancakes for brekkie. I get a lot of questions about what these look like, so here are the pics (recipes below pics): Naked right out of the pan. Look just like regular pancakes, no? And topped with my [...]
