A Little of This

Posted on May 23, 2010 | 20 Comments

Boy my 50 miler yesterday was fun and challenging :)

Ever since then I have been doing a little of this and a little of that but mostly resting and recuperating.

First of all we received a fabulous box of goodies from Newman’s Own Organics:

Look at all the goodies!

You know I can’t resist sharing some of these with you so stay tuned for a giveaway Tuesday morning :)

We could not wait to try some of the products so this morning we created a fun “oatmeal bar”:

Yum Oats!

Khrystle thanks for the beautiful bowl :)

Later on,  Bill and I headed to Ojai for a fun impromptu lunch:

The grocery items were very expensive but we couldn’t resist some homemade granola and a Kombucha with our salad:

So far the weekend has been great and I still have one more day left-yay.

I look forward to catching up on my blog reading and seeing what you all have been up to.

Hope you are having a great weekend too.

Happy Sunday friends :)

Am I Healthy?

Posted on April 1, 2010 | 21 Comments

I often wonder if the foods I choose to eat everyday are as healthy as I think they are.

Do you ever wonder that?

There are so many conflicting facts and studies out there that sometimes you have to wonder, “Am I Healthy?”

Lately, I have been visiting blogs that have been talking about NuVal.

NuVal is a nutritional company that rates foods on a 1 to 100 scale based on their “healthfulness.”

If you read Tina’s blog, you might have heard of NuVal.

I was lucky enough to get contacted by Melissa from A Better Bag of Groceries to rate some of my food.  Today she rated my Green Monster Shake so please head on over and check it out!  I wonder what it got rated as?!

Speaking of Green Monsters I have had a break from then lately, instead of I have been revisiting my dear beloved oatmeal.

It is tough to make oatmeal in the morning for me though because I am always in such a rush in the mornings.

  • Must blog
  • Walk Pepsi
  • Get ready for work
  • Walk to work

I thought I would share with you how I make my oats so I can take them nice and hot with me to work.

I put everything into the saucepan-steel cut oats, apples, bananas, pinch of salt, and cinnamon:

Set the stove top temp to about a 4 and head out to walk Pepsi.  By the time I get back they are cooked!

Then I put the oats in a Tupperware and add some raisins and I am good to go to eat my breakfast at my desk :)

How do you make your oats when you are in a rush?

Oh I just remembered it is April 1…….

Have a Happy April Fool’s Day!

Tonight I am meeting Khrystle for our hill workout. Can’t wait to see what she has under her sleeves for me :)

See you later gators!
