Happy, relaxing weekend! Well maybe not for Leela. She’s pouting about Smokey discovering her favorite bed by the fireplace and hogging it. Looks like we need to pick up another bed! I’ve been enjoying decadent chocolate mint smoothies the last few days thanks to NuNaturals NuStevia Cocoa Mint Syrup. I should probably be coming up […]
Protein Dijon Dressing
Hey, Friday is almost here! I’m ready, it’s been an odd week of drama and stress. Thank goodness for great family to talk to, a wonderful husband, and intense workouts to blow off a little steam. And we’re still kicking it here with Shadow, he’s eating and drinking. But not gaining any weight, very skinny, […]
Another What I Ate Wednesday
It’s been a bit of a draining week at work, lots of people out and chaos. Nothing I can’t handle, but looking forward to the weekend and blowing off steam at the gym has helped. My mom’s cat likes to shred toilet paper rolls and bath mats for a little stress relief. And it’s exhausting […]
Smoothie Treat, Grilling, & A Cranky Fourth
Hate to say it, but I’m so glad the fourth is over! And hopefully my neighbors are done with their illegal fireworks for the sake of our dogs! They started celebrating Thursday night and Leela was not happy about that. Little miss cranky woke me up a few times during the night terrified and snarling […]
Raw Protein and Dill Dip
Skipper out of the blue today became obsessed with a cat toy and did not want to give it up. We had to rescue it before he ate the fluffy end, though that would have been interesting. I guess that means he’s feeling better and becoming more stabilized on his current insulin dosage since he’s […]
Spiced Chia Seed Pudding
I’m glad the weekend is finally here, it’s been a busy week. It started too early for me though, I woke up around 5 AM unable to go back to sleep with everything I need to get to this weekend turning in my head after a busy week which I hate. And that was after […]
Raw Protein Gingerbread Ice Cream
Even though this week has been hectic, I’m finally feeling relaxed and giddy about the holidays because my shopping is done … I think. And the chilly winter weather, Christmas playlist, and gorgeous holiday lights have been making weeknight runs nice! Shadow has been having his own celebration snoozing under the Christmas tree as much […]
Vegan Feast
Blurg, another weekend shot by. So many fun things I wanted to do and so little time. Oh well, hoping work won’t be as crazy this week, we’ll see! Last night we hung out at my sister’s house, the husbands entertained my nephew playing Xbox games while we played in the kitchen drinking wine and […]
Two Breakfast Kind of a Day
So nice to have a relaxing Saturday at home after a crazy week at work. I spent most of the morning parks on the sofa drinking coffee with two cuddly chihuahuas. Before making my usual pre-workout breakfast smoothie staring a new protein powder – Vanilla Plant Fusion. Since I’m not sure as a vegan how […]
Light Travel Packing
After a long day in the air yesterday, we made it to Florida finally! It was a little sad leaving the Sac area on such a beautiful morning. But what a weather difference here. I’m actually wearing a tank top and saturated myself in sweat on a run this morning! Oh yeah, that’s what humidity […]
