Mindful Munching

Posted on 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!

Feeling Strong

Posted on July 1, 2010 | 40 Comments

Happy 1st day of July!  Isn’t July a wonderful month?

Yesterday we had quite the busy day.

We dropped off Melanie and Dave at the train station so they could get to the airport and fly to France.

We will miss them!

Then we got into a little accident :(   But we are okay and the car is not as bad off as we thought.

We then thought a trip to Whole Foods for a few things might brighten our spirits.

And it did except where is the Kombucha?  Did they really take it off the shelves due to the alcohol content?  Are you kidding me?

But we still got some fun things:

We walked two dogs and then came home for a fast and easy dinner.

A bagel thin spread with hummus, laugh cow cheese and topped with leftover steamed veggies and almond slices.  Weird but good.

This morning I am headed out on the group ride.  It appears that some of my “training” has been paying off.  I have been feeling strong on my bike.  I hope I feel strong on Sunday for my 5K.  Running is definitely my harder discipline.

What about you?  Do you find that some sports are easier for you than others?

I definitely feel like cycling comes easier to me when I train than running.

Hope you have a great day!

It appears like June gloom may have left to allow July to take over…..Yay for sun!

Remember one more day to enter my tea giveaway!
