What’s a girl to do?

So how is the Spring cleaning coming along? That’s what we’re supposed to do when Spring arrives, isn’t it? Well if you need some motivation go and check out Lindsay’s post here. I loved reading it and I’m feeling motivated to climb on board with her.

One can’t go wrong by Spring cleaning the mind, body and soul. What about the cupboards? I think that’s a good way to clean house — not only physically in your house.. but for your body’s sake aswell. That old can of soup in the back of your cupboard that has about 1000mg of sodium, or that box of cookies full of trans fat… get rid of it! How about replacing them with some homeade soup, or homemade granola bars? I know for me, I hate wasting food, so I don’t recommend throwing it away. I like donating to a local shelter or community care as they are always looking for donations. Although I do recommend hiding some chocolate in those cupboards in case of an emergency, of course. It will make you feel better, I promise. Let’s start this season out right by nourishing our body with the food it needs in order to take us where we need to go. I always find it so much easier to eat better when it’s nice out and fresh produce is everywhere to be found. Are you with me on this?!

This morning I had an awesome run with the Runner’s Edge crew. I ran 8.03km in 41:12 with an average pace of 5:08/km.

yes, I know.. I'm stylish. note to self: don't wear that again.

It was only a short run but really enjoyable over good conversation! I don’t know how I kept that pace up but it felt great.

hello sunshine!

When I first started out I was worried I didn’t have enough layers on and by the end I was trying to peel off the few that I had. It was bright and sunny and we were actually able to stretch outside afterwards…bonus eh!

I’m off to make some of those granola bars right now. We are all out of those AND the emergency stash of chocolate… uh-oh… what is a girl to do…

    You nailed it with “I always find it so much easier to eat better when it’s nice out and fresh produce is everywhere to be found.” Last summer we got fresh fruits and veggies each week from our CSA plus there was a farmer’s market in my work parking lot once a week and my town had another weekly farmer’s market. It was tough NOT to eat tons of fresh fruits and veggies. As fall and then winter set in, I began to gravitate towards heavier comfort-type foods. I am so ready for summer and fresh produce!

    When I clean my cupboards out it usually goes to my girls. Sometimes I don’t clean them out, the girls just help themselves.

    oh I am totally with you! Fresh produce, real food, feeling good! I can’t wait for that granola bar recipe.
    By the way, I actually think your running out fit looks cool! I love vests!
