Pepsi’s Day and Some Results

April 23, 2011 9 Comments

Yesterday Pepsi and I both had fun enjoying her birthday together.

My day started out with my microwaved apples and cinnamon. I take a large fuji apple and cut it up and add lots of cinnamon. Then I place it in the microwave for at least 3 minutes. I find the longer I cook it the better. It really does tie me over for about 2 hours. I think after my 21 diet, I will still eat this but add a scoop of raw almond butter.

This breakfast was accompanied by my favorite tea. Can’t get enough of this stuff!

Then Pepsi and I got out for a birthday walk. Gosh I remember the days when I would run her 5 miles up Mt. Rose and back on trails and she was barely tired. Now my dear Bear Cub can only go about 3 blocks before she is really winded

Then I went out and ran a few errands and came back with the main event of Pepsi’s day!

Yup that is a happy dog!

Speaking of my 21 day experiment-I have lost 7 1/2 pounds since I started last Friday. I really cannot believe how easy it has been. Gotta love it!

On a side note, I updated my recipe page with a few of more recent recipes and later today I am gonna post a new citrus chicken recipe that is equally delicious and healthy as well.

Hope you all enjoy your Saturday. I am off to Starbucks for some coffee, the farmers market for some fresh veggies, Lowes for a broken faucet and then maybe some yoga.

Enjoy!

Motivated All the Time?

July 9, 2010 29 Comments

Hello Friends! Happy Friday

Thank you for all of your kind words about our rings. We are really excited and feel quite official now

Today I woke up quite unmotivated to work out. Why is it that some weeks I am feeling GOOD and others I can’t even imagine running around the block?

Do you ever feel that way?

I did go on a long walk with Pepsi though. I usually find that walking sometimes gets me going and then I am ready to tackle a harder workout. We shall see if that works for me today.

Anyway, I hope that some goodies I got in the mail yesterday will help with my apathy towards working out.

Pepsi hopes so too!

Oh Yes! I think it might help…..

I am so excited to try these!

Have you tried Honey Milk before?

Full review to come……..Hope you have a great day and have some fun weekend plans.

Dinner Repeat, Dog Park Shenanigans and a Winner

June 9, 2010 27 Comments

Last we had a dinner repeat.

We copied Monday’s eats by layering steamed spinach, barley, and topping with fish.

But this time we topped with Halibut instead of salmon:

YUM!

Then we took Pepsi to the dog park.

Love our view from there:

Pepsi ran around acting like a much younger version of herself:

Love this pic of Bill and Pepsi:

If you have a dog, do you have a favorite dog park?

And the giveaway winner for these tasty treats is:

Mint Chip Cookies, Orange Dark Chocolate, Ginger Mints

Cindy!!!!! from A Sparkle a Day. If you have not checked out her blog, you should. She chronicles being a mom, running, knitting, and enjoying life. One of my favs for sure

Have a great day friends……..it is Hump Day!

I plan on walking to work, running a quick 2 miles after work, and then going to nutrition club tonight.

Hope you have a great day!

New Themes and Things

April 7, 2010 14 Comments

Last night I did a bit of housekeeping in my blog home.

It was starting to feel a bit cramped around here and I needed some room to breathe.

Do you like it?

Lately, I have wanted to try a few items floating around the blog world.

First up I have wanted to try Millet Bread.

Well I finally picked some up at Whole Foods last weekend. Ashlei, I can’t wait to try it! I have a feeling my lunch will have the bread in it somehow.

Have you tried Millet Bread?

I have also wanted to read The Kind Diet thanks to a review from Karin.

I got this book in the mail yesterday and have already dug into it. I like this quote, “In our modern culture, there is a strange disconnect between what we eat and how we feel.”

I agree! I can’t wait to read more
