Mindful Munching

July 20, 2010 32 Comments

Hello friends!

I have missed you and missed blogging but have also relished the extra time it has given me.

I knew I had to check it and give you a bit of a recap of what has been going on in my neck of the woods.

Daley Dog Walking has become quite a busy side business and with Bill back to work, I have been spending lots of time walking doggies.

Running has been almost non existant because a few weeks ago I got really bad blisters from my new shoes and have had to take a break. Instead, I have been riding my bike and doing boot camp. Can I just say boot camp has got to be one of the hardest workouts I have ever done! I did a class on Saturday and I am still sore today-crazy.

And lastly, I have been doing a lot of mindful munching. Hee hee…..

Take a look at what I got in the mail a few days ago:

Somersault snacks are:

all natural
3g fiber per serving
nut free
7g protein per serving
15% of your daily vitamin e
gmo free
trans fat free

And they taste so good.

I had to dig into the cocoa flavor first:

They also sent these other yummy flavors:

So far I have bought a few packs at Fresh and Easy and Whole Foods.

I think I need to live by their logo:

“Live upside down”-love it!

Have you ever tried somersaults?

How has your summer been?

Miss you all!

Busy Bees

Hello friends! I feel like I have been MIA for so long but in reality I think it has just been 24 hours

I cannot wait to read up on all of your July 4th adventures…………

We have been Busy Bees for sure over in our neck of the woods.

There has been lots of Ultimate Oats thanks to Bill. Look at this mornings breakfast:

Oh Yum…….He really is the master of the kitchen

Lots of dog walking-my legs are sore! Don’t let anyone tell you walking is not good exercise!:

Lot’s of dog trips:

Pepsi LOVES to hang her head out the car window.

Lot’s of tired dogs:

And a 5K race!

Bill and I and Khrystle woke up bright and early on July 4th to tackle the Harbor Run.

Bill and I did the 5K and Khrystle did the 10K.

Bill rocked it! No official time yet but we think he got under 20 minutes. So jealous.

I think I got somewhere around 26 minutes. Oh how I want to hit 25 something for my next race. Khrystle thinks I don’t push hard enough in races. She is threatening to run a 5K alongside me next time to see if I push hard enough-gulp………I think I am in trouble.

And she did her 10K in under 50 minutes. That girl can run! Oh and she can bike too…….

Great times I tell you.
