Weekend Part 2: Running, Drinking, and Cooking

cooking, running / 1 Comment

Wow, what a week it has been! You know things are busy when you’re just writing the second half of your weekend recap… and it’s already the new weekend. So – when I left off, I was bitching about that stupid bouncer who told me I was too ugly to get into his club. Great end to my Saturday night, right? I headed to bed around 1:30am and wished I could just sleep all day… but I had signed up for a 10am running group through Urban Girl Squad, and it met all the way on the East side! I …

How to adapt your recipes for low-cal cooking

cooking, diet / 2 Comments

The Fit Bottomed Girls recently ran a post about Rachael Ray and the healthiness of her recipes. While Rachael often dubs her meals “figure friendly”, they are often far from that! Rachael’s 30 Minute Meals tend to use whole, natural ingredients that are certainly healthier for you than fast food or restaurant meals… but many times, the portion sizes or amount of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or butter seem unnecessarily large. Having cooked over 300 of Rachael’s recipes myself over the years, I started writing a comment to add some other tips of my own, but it ended up …

Getting the week off to a good start

cooking, diet, running / 2 Comments

Yesterday I worked from home, and it went pretty well. I alternated work with chores around the apartment (VERY few bugs left alive, and those that are still here are just living on borrowed time because there is absolutely nothing starchy for them to munch on), and managed to get a lot done on both counts. Plus, I was able to sneak in quite a bit of gym time, and eat healthy to boot. For example, dinner last night was seafood sausage, lentils with veggies, and a side of steamed okra. Yum! Today, I started the morning with an hour …

Diet inspiration from a lazy Sunday morning

cooking, diet, goal setting, health and fitness / 5 Comments

Despite my push to increase my workouts last week (successful, too – I logged 450 minutes of gym time in the last 7 days!), I have been gaining weight. I blame my all-inclusive trip to Punta Cana, my singledom that is encouraging me to go to bars and drink in order to meet guys in NYC, and my training last week that had catered food about which I had little to no choice in eating. Okay, so maybe those tequila shots with my team were another story… Speaking of which, last night I was out with my friend Kristen until …

Did I carb load with a paella?

cooking, running / 10 Comments

A few weeks back, I posted about how Boyfriend’s stepfather was sick and we were canceling our trip to Phoenix, thus resulting in me canceling my marathon in Albuquerque. However, with no other Labor Day weekend plans on the horizon and Boyfriend in the midst of that crazy deck for work (that would probably keep him tied up until Saturday at least), I came up with a great gameplan. Since there was a routing to go through Vegas to get to Albuquerque, I booked that for a roundtrip, leaving early Saturday morning and arriving in Albuquerque late afternoon. I’ll be …
