Weekend Reading

December 30, 2011

Phrase of the week: All quiet. Do you hear that? Me too…a lot of silence. It’s been a quiet week, aside from a few meet ups with old and new friends, for coffee, for walks, and gluten-free treats. I’m finally reading regularly again (currently on How Starbucks Saved My Life – so far so good!), [...]

Lisa’s Foods Review 2011

December 29, 2011

2011 was a big one for Lisa’s Foods. In fact, it was huge. Not necessarily in numbers, but in action. IN 2011, I: Became a self-hosted blog. I wanted the freedom to design my own blog, hence the new clean layout to match the clean eating. Got an iPhone. Yes, it’s consumerist and a lot [...]

Warm Up With Soup

December 27, 2011

It’s getting cold around here. Brrr. When I went for my long run on Saturday, it was in the high 30s, and while I stayed warm enough in my running tights, fleece shirt and vest, and hat and gloves, when I got home all I wanted was a hot shower and a hot meal. Like [...]

Weekend Reading

December 24, 2011

Phrase of the week: Last long run. Did I mention that I’m running my second half marathon in two weeks, again in Disney World? Yup. I’m really excited, and kind of nervous. I went on my last long run today – ten miles – and just like every long run I’ve done since my first [...]

The Love That Didn’t Last…With Milk

December 22, 2011

Once, many years ago, Milk and I were friends. Good friends. I loved Milk. Milk loved me. Back in high school, I easily drank three large glasses a day. Milk went well with cookies and peanut butter sandwiches, was refreshing, and was easily my favorite drink. Around when I turned 17 though, Milk betrayed me. [...]
