Wow, Sunday is here already! Miko has been all about relaxing this weekend chilling in the office with me. And getting very comfy with us on the couch watching the Olympics. Not so much for Leela, it’s been a rocky weekend for her again – last Saturday I had to remove a nasty tick and […]
Awesome Burger & Simple Stir Fry
It’s nice to relax a bit after a couple of busy days at work, Miko has been enjoying downtime watching the Olympics in the evening with us. I motivated myself to the gym after work today for a 30-minute tempo run and weight session. It was good, but tiring since the heat was back today and […]
Catching Up for the Weekend List
Hard to believe the 4th of July is almost here and summer weather is in full swing with lots of triple digit heat days. I always have to remind myself it’s okay to throttle back running miles in this weather and embrace my slower pace when I am running outside because even early morning runs […]
New Host & Simply Fun Eats
I’m back after the roller coaster that was moving this site to a new host. Still working out little issues here and there, but so far so good and I am beyond impressed with the WordPress support of my new host, DreamHost. I decided to take on the move myself after reading countless articles and how […]
Weekend List w/ New Tofu & Protein
It’s been a relaxing weekend so far here, lots of lounging around and Leela burying herself in blankets. And great eats this week. I have been focusing on adding more beans to my diet lately and mainly in salads and soups thanks to inspiration from Dr. Greger. And canned organic beans are cheaper than tofu, […]
Cookies & Simple Dressing
The summer heat is causing a bit of running burnout for me. That’s pretty typical in June and July here, even running on a treadmill in an air conditioned gym is draining when it’s 100 degrees outside. And Sunday outdoor runs have just seemed sluggish and slower reminding me I need to start getting out before 8 […]
Easy Shopping and Eating
We had some chihuahua drama last night when Miko left is teddy bear on Leela’s favorite bed. Leela does not like anyone disturbing her nap time, especially bouncy, playful Miko. He wanted his teddy bear, but did not want to suffer the Leela wrath and pouted at me until I caved and grabbed his toy for him. […]
Creamy Ginger Garlic Dressing
When I went vegan … wow, over 6 years ago now, I thought seafood was going to be the toughest to give up. But jeez, watch some of these disturbing seafood videos on NutritionFacts.org and it’s not so hard! Especially when vegan alternatives keep getting more amazing. Hubby was a crab cake fan before going […]
Packing for the Weekend List
Good morning and happy Sunday! It’s been a busy, but productive weekend here so far. We spent a couple of hours sterilizing the house and catching up on chores after a busy week and poor hubby being sick. But feels great to have that under control and I have a huge load in the garage […]
Holiday Eats
Tuesdays are probably my least favorite day of the week. Not even halfway through the work week and it’s usually a busy work day, busy gym day, and busy on call day this week. But I had a great 3.1 mile run at the gym, felt much better than expected after running a half marathon […]
