Walking is becoming more natural again as the pain continues to subside. I'm dying to run but I think that is still a few days off so for now I will be content with sweating via the bike. For someone reason Oscar night seemed like the perfect night to try a new recipe. As I …

Home Office
My recent injury left me feeling even worse on Friday morning so instead of hobbling to and from the bus, I nursed my pain from the comfort of my own home. It was nice to wake up and work on some emails and make myself I nice warm bowl of pumpkin butter oats. Cook up …
My glute got me
Tuesday's run was shortened when I got a kink in my left glute and unfortunately this pulled muscle plagued me all of yesterday too. When I woke up for the gym, hoping to run, I had shooting pains down my leg and up my lower back, so I listened to my body and did some abs, …
The shoe saga
It has taken 3 pairs of shoes over this past month to finally find a pair that I am in love with. After adjusting my running form I went back to my original lightweight running shoes but I was not satisfied with the lack of sole padding and they were pretty warn in. So then …
One of the bloggers
It is rare that we are not scooping peanut butter out of a Costco sized tub, but yesterday morning I was left with a normal sized, mostly empty, jar of peanut butter, so I did what any other healthy living blogger would do and I made Oats in a Jar (OIAJ). My oats did not soak …

The California sun took the day off yesterday. The clouds rolled in just in time to accompany some unfortunate news in my work world but I am taking advantage of the situation and making it work for me - more on this in the next couple of days. Yesterday's rainy/cloudy day in the bay inspired …
Thriday
Yesterday was my last day in the office for the week so I decided to treat it as my Friday 🙂 The morning started off with a sweet concoction of pan sautéed apple with cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla. Then I mixed this toasted mixture with some plain cottage cheese and topped it with a bit of bran. It was still …
A day of experiments
Yesterday was a day of experiments... For breakfast I was craving something on the savory side so I slapped some tomato sauce on a sandwich thin and sprinkled some "fake" cheese in between the bread. When I got to work I stuck it in the microwave ... and ... tada! Ooey cheesy-ish goodness in the a.m. …
Yes, last time I checked it was January
Hard to believe that it's the middle of winter after the day we had yesterday. Saturday morning I enjoyed the glorious weather and went for a seven mile run. I decided to implement the tricks I learned during my physical therapy session and dedicated my entire run to focusing on my feet placement and overall …
