Here we are - week 2 of the FitApproach and Lorna Jane Move Nourish Believe Challenge.  
Lorna's Philosophy:
MOVE her body every day
NOURISH from the inside out
BELIEVE in herself and that anything is possible
if you work hard enough

Week 2 Focused on the Nourish portion of the challenge.  


2/10: Go Meatless


The foods I eat during the day usually do not include meat anyway.  So breakfast and lunch were quite easy to be meatless.  Dinner was a little challenge - but I ate a veggie stir fry for dinner and it was fabulous!  
2/11: TYLTW! - Take Your Lunch to Work today! 
This week I was a little short on the actual days I went to work.  I went home around 9:30 on Monday due to a sick Izzy at daycare, spent time at the doctor's office, waited for the results of the throat culture - strep, then a trip to the health food store for probiotics and then a trip to the pharmacy for antibiotics.  This meant that I wasn't going anywhere on Tuesday either.  Tucker started seeming rather sick Monday night, so I just kept him home on Tuesday.  Both are great now.   But since I didn't go to work, I still ate what I had planned on taking to work - salad!  Yum!

 2/12: Write it down! 

I wrote this list about 3 times throughout the day.  On various sticky notes.  And when I got home from school - I realized those sticky notes didn't make it into my bag.  But at least I remembered what I ate and wrote it all down!  

2/13: Smoothie Day! 

An early release from school - thanks to the snow - and what do I do?  Make a delicious smoothie.  Yum!  And I did't make just one.  I made one for each of us.  I love smoothie days like this!


2/14: Go Raw Friday! 

We are getting rather tired of winter and cucumbers make us think of summer.  So, cukes it was.  Dreaming of summer time.

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler wit...

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the ...

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression ge...
