Friday Finds
Well, to be honest I didn't find them on Friday but I am sharing them with you today 😉 It is rare that I eat granola bars if I am not preparing for a long run or out snowboarding, but every once in a while at work I will need something to get me through …
Sweet Potato Sunday
Sunday night I had a craving for sweet potato fries. So I made a version of my own. I thinly sliced one sweet potato, sprayed the tops with a bit of olive oil, sprinkled them with salt, pepper and some garlic powder and baked them at 400 degrees. Within 15 minutes I had sweet potato …

A Sunny Day for Books
Yesterday was my first full hour at the gym. I biked for 45 minutes and then finished the hour with some planks, push ups and clam exercises. While I might have been nice and sweaty on the bike, the entire time I was staring at the treadmills trying not to hop on one and join …
Kicking Butt
Yesterday was my first day of personal transitional training. I worked with a trainer at my physical therapists office doing specific strength training to build up my leg and glute muscles.
