Honestly, I don’t miss swimming at all! Strange, eh? I actually haven’t swum since the triathlon (which may or may not have been a traumatic experience in that lake…). Think I OD-ed on it a little when I was injured and swam all the frickin’ time. I’m sure I’ll get into another swimming kick someday. I don’t have access to a free pool anymore though (I used to use the campus pool when I was a student).

Yum to that dinner Susan! I love your goals–I never did set any. But my favorite is making workouts more fun. I need that :) xoxo

a whole roast chicken is something i wish i could make at home – since my hubby’s vegetarian it feels like a waste..i mean, i guess i could but then i’d just be eating it by myself….

i cannot wait to hear what your new passion is – that is amazing, and i am so excited for you!

your goals are rockin – mine are going pretty well. i am averaging 2-3 yoga seshes a week and flossing every other day, minus last night because i fell asleep during savasana (corpse pose) and didn’t wake up until this morning, oops!

love your smuffernutterwuttershutter cookie :)

I e-mailed Larabar yesterday too and haven’t heard back yet. They list the ingredients in the peanut butter in brackets, so I would assume the oil is in addition to that.

P.S. Not sure if you saw my response on Caitlin’s blog – but the wheatgrass and apple juice idea is genius!

I am in awe of your roast chicken :D I used to make it when I lived with my dad under his careful watch (I am convinced that I am going to get food poisoning if I cook chicken from raw :P ). Need to try it again.

RE protein powder: since your tutorial, I have used the powder and it makes ALL the difference. I can pick up and eat my cookies with my hands (perfect, since I scale the recipe down and make snack sized ones) but without the peanut butter, they need forks/spoons.

Lara never got back to me- I tweeted them and they said it was naturally occuring oils from the peanuts (um, no!) I sent them the link to your post but never heard anything else.

Congrats on your goals! Now go call your grandparents!!!!! I feel like November has quite literally flown by- yet has been a waste, lol. Not really, just encountered some set-backs interfering which made other things a priority. On the progress front, I am back on track, have started reading again (!) and have opened up a lot more to someone I needed to so hopefully December is going to rock. I see them tomorrow so will see…(both cursing and singing praises to the delights of email right now….)

Holy smokes woman! That roast dinner looks fabulous!
Okay, I am kind of pissed about this fibre thing. Why don’t they count fibre calories in the US?! I did not know that. Grr. Also, why have I stopped spelling yoghurt correctly. I actually wrote it like that on our grocery list yesterday to show Dan how it’s really done (ha) but apparently I am losing my Britishness. Sad.
Love you! x

Your breakfast cookie looks so delicious! I haven’t tried my own yet but I will definitely take your advice with the powder.

I loooooove KIND bars however I haven’t tried any with the yogurt coating. I just love how crunchy and nutty they are! Keep on pushing with your goals! You’re doing good so far :)

As far as your sandwich getting soggy … try not putting the tomatoes on the sandwich the night before. They’re usually the culprit. Can you put them in a separate baggie/container and then just slap them on before you eat?

My goals are simple this month. To run the 5K on Thanksgiving Day faster than my last 5K, to not gain any weight, and to enjoy my family.

Your food looks absolutely wonderful!!

I actually couldn’t taste it that much! Usually I put a couple scoops of plain yogurt in for texture and a little tartness, but the cheese isn’t tart, so I couldn’t taste it ;) Was an incredibly smooooth smoothie though :)
