We’re having a relaxing Sunday morning here, Leela is parked in her favorite mushroom bed in the office with me.

And Miko is snugly stuffed in his bed.

It could be 100+ degrees outside and he still loves burying himself in a blanket!

It is Sunday Runday again at Runkeeper where you can get 20% off at Saucony for tracking a 30+ minute running activity at with Runkeeper. Last time I used it on a pair of Women’s Bullet Capri pants which have been awesome at the gym for holding cell phones, the pockets on the side are big enough for an iPhone 6.

I’m spoiled by these style capris too, I will only buy ones with cell phone pockets now! My other favorites are Lucy Pocket Capri Leggings, not cheap, but worth it for long runs.

Eats have been a little plain this week, lots of smoothies, salads, and oil free stir fries with a lot going on at work. I threw together this fast salad yesterday with a yellow cucumber from our garden, rainbow carrots, and chopped tempeh seasoned with nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, and dill for a tangy fun summer blend.

We had a casual dinner at my sister’s house last night where I threw together a quick oil free stir fry with brown rice, organic chopped frozen spinach, tempeh, and frozen broccoli seasoned with tamari and hot sauce.

Simple and quick for a hearty one pot meal. And I’m motivating myself to head out for my Sunday Runday currently! But first the news list.

Russell Simmons talks about his awesomeness being a vegan for 17 years and I’m looking forward to his book.

Sadly, a majority of Americans aren’t eating enough fruits and veggies!

The Today Show makes trying a vegan diet simple with this meal plan.

Good health is the most important thing and even a healthy, plant based diet can’t combat the effects of heavy drinking.

Good skin care and a plant-based diet are key for anti-aging.

Long time vegan Christie Brinkley is just wow at 61.

I need to take a road trip to Amy’s Drive-Thru soon! Getting jealous looking at friends Facebook posts from this amazing place, but thankful for the positive changes in fast food offerings.

Mmmm, I need to try roasting red peppers.

Ireland Baldwin is taking the vegan challenge and hopefully sticks with it!

One Green Planet has a collection of nut-free vegan recipes.

Finally, real men can value their health too.

  1. We’ve been eating very plain this week too, it’s just been to hot to cook, lots of vegetables just raw because it’s too hot to steam them. So cute you ate the cucumber from your garden, yay =) And rainbow carrots are so tasty and look so pretty in every recipe, agreed!!! Your dogs remind me of mine, they just hang out in their little dog beds lazing around all day.

  2. Lol! Coco loves to bury herself under her blanket too. So cute!

    Great links, Christine. I love Russell Simmons, I’ve seen him in interviews and he schools those who try and make excuses for eating animal products.

    I LOVE those running pants! I’m going to order a couple today. :)

  3. Eating veggies from your own garden is the best feeling ever! I remember when I was younger and we had a garden! It was so much fun :)

  5. Seriously awesome pants! I swear, I would work out more often if only I could take my phone with me. It’s silly, but I find it impossible to really wear any bottoms that lack pockets. Clearly, I’ve just been shopping in the wrong places. I’m checking these out!

  6. i always look forward to your weekend lists! i love all the articles on men going vegan and the health impacts of being on a vegan diet :) i would love to see some links to raw recipes too! hope you had a wonderful birthday! x
