Being truthful

My apologies for not posting yesterday, but unfortunately the litigate part of eatrunlitigate got the better of me and I worked a 15.5 hour day (I was actually at a mediation and we were there until 12:30 a.m.! I’m happy to report it settled!).  I got home at 12:40 a.m. and had to be out [...]

Menu Monday

Over the past week I made these recipes. Thoughts on each below.

Sun Dried Tomato – Zucchini Risotto & Basil Pesto Pizza – I have made both of these before. As I mentioned in my post last week, these are become fast favorites for us. What I especially love about the risotto is how great it [...]

Fit Friday

Today was a great great great day for my first Fit Friday.

First, I weighed myself as soon as I woke up. Hello, lowest weight to date!! I was pretty stoked. Perfect thing to see when I’m trying to kick start myself back into business. Also really proves to me how important my eating is because [...]

Web Wednesday

Today, my focus is going to be the three blogs that inspired me and I have been reading religiously for nearly a year now:

Healthy Tipping Point: Caitlin is a runner, vegetarian, and all out foodie. She’s about to announce three big things tomorrow and I absolutely can’t wait. She has struggled with knee problems and [...]

Set-up Sunday

This past week I did not follow my training plan. I was not feeling motivated and it showed in my workouts.

Monday: M and I were both totally lazy and unfortunately decided to skip the gym and opted instead to be lazy bums.
Tuesday: Planned to do a 40 minute tempo workout. Did okay with the first [...]

The good, the bad and the ugly

It’s late and I should be sleeping, but alas I’m going to throw a quick post together.

Eat

Because M and I went to The Restaurant at the Canterbury Hotel (yes, that’s the real name of it) as part of Devour Downtown, my calories for today are somewhat of a guess, and my guess is that they [...]

An Odd Combination

Eat

Had another good day of eats today. Had to add an almond butter sandwich to dinner (roasted eggplant) because I was going to be a bit calorie deficient.

NSV!

I managed to drag my butt out of bed this morning and run 3 miles as the sun rose (this was my NSV). Sadly, I did not feel nearly as energized today as I expected. I’m hoping to do it again tomorrow again. I did the run as more of an easy jog and [...]
