It’s hard to write this post because my fingers are so cold. Brrr! Fall is here! Jen, Wanda and I went out for our last long run together — 10 miles — and it was dark and nippy when we started. I couldn’t have done this training without my friends. They make the miles go […]
For the past two years, Tony and I had participated in a local farm share. We paid $250 for a half share, which was about 13 pounds of vegetables a week (plus bonuses, like the occasional squash or watermelon). The share lasted about 15-16 weeks. I am so completely regretting forgoing it this year. We […]

I thought I’d share: Fannetastic Food is by a woman who is studying to be a dietician. She’s also a runner, so I’m a […]
Since my next *definite* race is the LADU (bike & swim duathalon) at the end of June, I started cycling. My friend Mike also organizes a 100-mile bike trip from Yarmouth to Rangely in the summer that I want to go on, too. So I think, I just ran a half-marathon. I can be active […]

Mmm, I found a way to make my big tub of “Designer Protein Whey” palatable. 1 cup almond milk 4-5 ice cubes 4-5 frozen strawberries 1/2 banana 1 scoop protein powder YUM! You can barely taste that awful stuff amid the delicious berry goodness.
So, my new favorite thing, as introduced to me by Carrots ‘N’ Cake, is almond milk. It has 60% of the calories that milk does, no saturated fat, and the same amount of calcium. Milk, cheese and butter are very near and dear to my heart. I do not think you can replace these things […]
To review: 1. Eat vegetables. Make it easier by keeping canned and frozen ones around. 2. Be prepared. Bad choices happen when you don’t have easy healthy options. 3. No liquid calories. 4. Look for foods that are high in fiber. Part 3 … 5. The slow cooker is your friend. This is kinda related […]
