I have not bought ice cream since November 2011. True statement. I got an ice cream maker and have not looked back. As if by magic, when I got my ice cream maker blogger Kavey started her “Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream” challenge series. I have participated on most months, not always getting my posts […]
Another Friday Food post, in keeping with my “who says cooking is hard” theme. This week it is “one pot chicken”. This is super easy to make, done first on the stove and then into the oven to bake. I served ours with asparagus and rice. Super easy. Super yummy. Initially I thought about doing […]
I found myself in Seoul earlier this week for work. My trip had been scheduled for the beginning of December, but was postponed for a number of reasons. Postponed to the middle of a completely crazy hectic time of the year at work and in my personal life, with the run up to Christmas and […]
I have a confession to make – I am #fatfluential. Train hard, eat lots. That’s me. For me, food is enjoyable and I don’t restrict myself. I don’t avoid certain foods. I eat, and I enjoy. Yes, I know. Not everyone *can* eat like this, and not everyone *chooses* to eat like this. But for […]
Most people know that I have an interest in health and food, and in addition to a good old novel or two that I am reading on my Kindle (yes, two – I still can’t quite bear to finish “There’s Something About Kevin”) I also usually have a non-fiction book on the go as well. […]
…then surely a video is worth more? It has been a long time since I posted any running videos. Probably because it has been about a year since I had any taken trackside. My running coach, James Dunne of Kinetic Revolution, has filmed my running form evolution since our first meeting in June 2011, as […]
If October was about changes and decisions, a bit of a re-set and re-think, my November was about deliberate actions, patience, and just plain old enjoying things without pushing them. I have gently eased back into training, although in some ways this may not seem gentle when you look at the numbers! It is the […]
I try – try being the key word – to keep a positive outlook and healthy perspective on life. One of the ways I keep positive is by expressing my emotions – somehow I find that when I get something off my chest, even if it is not always positive to express what I feel, […]
On Wednesday evening we got home from the gym and as an unexpected treat, DH took over in the kitchen. I know I am lucky in that my husband cooks – and cooks really really good food. He has been more adventurous recently – including a recent Friday evening meal that has become a new […]
It is funny to write this post as my “offseason” has now been underway for two months. But that said, I haven’t really reflected too much on 2012 yet. Maybe that is because it was just too painful. Between broken ribs and hypothermia, I am somewhat left feeling like I just didn’t really have a […]
