I was going to call this Five Things I’m Loving Right Now, but then I realized everything I was listing was a food or beverage. I must be hungry… 1. My Sodastream. It took me a really long time to decide to buy one. I have a tiny kitchen with virtually no counter space and…

Adventure to Fitness giveaway, Honest Tea Review and WIAW
Whew, that’s a lot to throw in one post… Recently I was given a bunch of different Honest Tea products to try. At the same time I was approached by Adventure to Fitness about getting one of their Fit Family packs (and giving one of them to a reader.) Since Adventure to Fitness has partnered…
2 things Thursday + Pin It Party
1. I’m finally feeling normal. I took naps three days in a row this week, which is pretty much unheard of for me. But they weren’t optional. My body pretty much said “Sleep. Now.” So I did. Yesterday I finally went out in my Kinvara 4’s and ran a fast for me 4 miles. I…
Simply Snackin Review + Giveaway
A while back, Simply Snackin offered to send me some of their meat snacks to try. I took them up on their offer and really enjoyed the flavors. I’m your typical on-the-go mom. I always have snacks in my bag because hunger doesn’t necessarily follow the schedule I set out for it. I found the…
Glad that’s over…
The sugar detox, that is. I didn’t have any of the physical withdrawal symptoms that some people had: no headaches or crankiness or anything like that. I just found myself constantly on the prowl for food. Some of that would have happened anyways (thank you, hormones, for making my life awesome. Not.) But a big…
WIAW: No sugar
I’ve mentioned in passing that I was going to do a sugar detox for a week with Mommy Run Fast and some other bloggers. I LOVE sugar. No really. I’d be happy to eat nothing but sweets. And once I start eating sugar? I can’t stop. I’ll keep grazing on sweets until I don’t feel…
And then I fell off the wagon…
And I didn’t just fall. I plunged. It started with a fruit leather. Ok, really it started with running 34 miles in the last five days. And did I mention the yoga class? Ok, it started because I was hungry. I should have grabbed an apple, but frankly, that thought never crossed my mind. So,…
Fueled by Joe Joe’s
There are a few days a month when I’m, umm, weak. I spend the days searching for snacky foods to eat instead of eating my usual meals. Normal days consist of 5-6 meals that include a vegetable and protein as the base. They might also include dairy or fruit or some whole grain carb, but…
Barilla Microwaveable Meals Review
Have I mentioned lately that my September and October are a little insane? Between birthdays (the boys and 3 of their 4 Godparents), the start of school, soccer season, various school activities, Back to School night, a professional conference for me, a few out of town trips, a few races, and just regular life, I…
Wordless Wednesday: Calamari
Simply Bar Review and Giveaway
Recently I was contacted with the opportunity to try out “The Simply Bar.” I had heard about them on various blogs and I happened to be attempting to add extra protein to my diet plus eat more frequently. While I was mostly focused on clean, whole foods, I’d had a few instances where I hit…
Jewish Mother’s Split Pea Soup
This has been one of the more miserable falls that Virginia has had in a while. We seem to be getting rain at least a couple of times a week. A lot of us are beginning to wonder when Virginia got placed just outside the *other* Washington. For most of October, my mood has matched…
