I somehow pulled myself out of bed at 5 this morning and met my Team in Training group for 10 awesome miles. To me, this is remarkable considering several things: I didn’t have a great night’s sleep. I didn’t eat a proper dinner last night and just ate a really big snack right before I [...]

So much to say! This will be a bit of a rambling post. First of all, posting yesterday just did not happen. Life has been super busy lately, and a little bit stressful. Consequently my meals yesterday were super-random (we’re talking broccoli for a nighttime snack…what the heck?). This morning I woke up early and [...]
She’s Back

I took a little blogging break (and break from everything, really) yesterday, but I’m back! I started my Monday off with a bang, as always, with a run. My training schedule said “40 minutes, easy” so that’s what I did! It’s funny, actually, I woke up at 6:15-6:20 to start getting ready, and then I [...]
Halfway There!

7 miles done!! I am over halfway there now, distance-wise, with exactly three months until the Nike Women’s Half. It was a huge mental leap this morning for me to get to seven miles for some reason. Before I started this training, I was definitely fit as a consistent three-mile runner, but I never went [...]
A Balanced Lunch

Here’s another healthy eating & cooking tip for you: when cooking something like bulgur or brown rice (or even vegetables) make an extra serving or two to have for the next couple days. An important part of eating healthfully is to make it easy, and this is a great way to do it! Check out [...]
My Old Standby

I turned to my trusty friend this morning for breakfast: oatmeal! I haven’t had hot oatmeal in quite a while, so today was as good a day as any to rotate it back in. Why does the oatmeal look a little brown, you ask? Well, the almond milk I usually buy is Almond Breeze Unsweetened [...]
Apple-Centric

The majority of my meals today centered around another giant Fuji apple. I start with breakfast, which had two components. Number one was the basic bowl of oats with chopped apple and walnuts. I diced the apple and then microwaved it for about 20 seconds with some cinnamon. And on the side I had some [...]
Mountain of Blueberries and a Boring Lunch

Well hello! After a fabulous weekend away, I was back at it this morning with stovetop oats as a nice fueling breakfast before work. Our fridge is currently overflowing with blueberries, so this is oats, a whole bunch of blueberries, walnuts, ground flax, and cinnamon. My lunch, however, was not that interesting since I had [...]
Happy National Running Day! I got my run in…did you? The speed work on tap tonight was more half-mile repeats. It was super humid out tonight, though, which wasn’t fun. :/ But my recovery dinner was good! Super simple, just oats with flax, cinnamon, walnuts, and the end of those amazing blueberries. Snacks this afternoon [...]
Anything Better?
Posted: May 31, 2009 in FoodTags: almonds, banana, blueberries, flax, milk, oats, walnuts
Is there anything better for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast than an awesome, comforting bowl of oatmeal? Yeah, didn’t think so. Normal proportions: 1/2 cup each of oats, almond milk, and water. I used one ripe banana, half mashed into the oatmeal and half in slices on top. There were more of the best blueberries [...]
