    Making A Salad to Go

    I’ll have to admit that when marathon training, the last thing I want to eat is a huge bowl of salad…since I usually crave carbs 90% of the time when I’m training. But with my mileage down lately because of my foot injury, I’ve been trying to eat a lot more greens and vegetables. I’ve been enjoying large salads for lunch every day and I feel so much better about getting my veggies in! One of my most hated tasks is packing my lunch, so I usually hate making salads in the morning. One of my friends had a brilliant idea (why didn’t I just think of this in the…

    Chips that Pop

    Thanks to those of you who responded the the questions on my last post, it was very helpful! I have to learn not to beat myself up over the bad decisions I make. I just have to realize that I’m human and I’m not perfect and I can’t live my life feeling guilty over food all the time! It is not healthy. Anyway, lunch today was just a Morning Star Farms chick’n patty on a whole wheat sandwich thin, along with some Popchips! The lovely people at Popchips sent me some samples to try out. I tried the sour cream and onion flavor. They come in a convient 100 calorie…
