Week 20: Ramping it up…
Plus Realizing Why Mom Never Let us eat Cookies for Dinner…
So, we are starting to get into the home stretch for this season’s training season. We are also in the thick of the Holiday Season, which means lots of obligations outside of training. Christmas parties, shopping, and work obligations seem to [...]
Weeks 13-14: Healing and Easing Back into Routine…
Plus My First Success in Bread Baking!
I must apologize for not posting my update last week as I had promised. I was honestly getting into a funk from not working out. Whenever I don’t get the exercise I need, I tend to get really tired, moody and easily [...]
Breaking Records and Feeling Sore!
It’s been an interesting and tiring week in our household…our schedule pretty much has been: work, run, eat, sleep, repeat! The run part has finally started taking a bit more of a toll on my body, as has allergy season, which has hit me with full impact. We also were breaking [...]
Getting Back to Basics Bake Sale and Another Milestone Accomplished!

A Truly Simple and Satisfying Treat for a Hot Summer Day
We’ve officially entered the dog days of summer in Houston…nearly a continuous week of 90+ temperatures (most over 95F), no rain, and no relief from the heat in the short-term forecast. I normally don’t like ice cream, but today was a day that I just [...]
A “Good Kind of Different” for your next Oatmeal Cookie!

When I was a kid, my grandmother always had oatmeal raisin cookies waiting for us! She was diabetic, so it was what she felt comfortable making with her dietary needs. I miss those days, she passed over 10 years ago, but I [...]
Seriously…Tastes Just Like Tollhouse…Only Healthier!
Sorry for the short hiatus…I’m going to work hard to update with my new recipes and clear out my photo inventory this week in the evenings. The reason for the hiatus was my grandmother-in-law’s death and funeral. We had to fly to Philly this past weekend to celebrate her life and [...]
