Helllllo blogging world! I’m happy to be back and catch up with all of you. Between being sick this past week, without internet for one day (yes, I almost didn’t survive…), and not being on the computer much, I didn’t have much to blog about. Who knows, maybe I still don’t but I was missing you guys, so here I am :)

I haven’t ran in the past week… being sick and running is a no no, well I mean I could have gone but it would have been painful, so I decided to take it easy and got a few workouts in at home when I felt up for it. I have really been enjoying my short intense workouts at home but I am feeling antsy to get out for a run. I feel like I haven’t been eating the greatest lately… I may have tried one of these…
But don’t worry.. G-Man and I shared it. It wasn’t the greatest and definitely NOT worth the calories or fat. I surprisingly didn’t check the nutritional stats before buying it and it’s a good thing because I probably would have had a heart attack. Oh well, it’s gone now so there is no need to stress over it, right? Right. However, G-man took good care of me and made homemade chicken soup, loaded with fresh cilantro and lime juice. He makes THE BEST soup!

After getting my appetite back, I was just craving some greens. I feel great to be drinking these babies again. I have been loading on the spinach and my protein powder really takes away that "green" taste which is a bonus. The other day, when I was looking through my cupboard, I found a can of chickpeas and I thought I won the lottery. I love roasting them after marinating them for a few hours in lemon juice and spices. I saw this recipe here over at Mama Pea’s, although I changed it and used what I had on hand. Fresh lemon juice and chilli powder with a little bit of olive oil. YUM! They are seriously so so good!

You really should try them if you are a fan of chickpeas.

Tonight G-Man, the boys and I arrived at my parents house. I just love coming home. Except for the fact that my Mom always buys treats for the boys… like the big bowl of Halloween candy that is sitting on the table.. which is nice of her but not nice for me since I have no self control when it comes to sweets. Thanks Mom.. next time at least hide it from me! We arrived to SNOW.. yes, Winter is now upon us.

Our time here is always busy with either appointments, photo shoots or events to go to. I’m not complaining because I love connecting with the people I love but it’s unfortunate that the time always flies by.  I do plan to take full advantage of my Madres treadmill and the spin bike downstairs.. my legs are itching to run! 

Have a GREAT weekend wherever you are. Remember to embrace those around you and make time for a little movement!

Run hard, eat well and live better!
