The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

I was rifling through my old recipes trying to find something light and spring-y -and this is as fresh and green as it gets. This is from my personal blog archives, originally published last summer. Enjoy!
I love love love Asian food. And my husband doesn’t.
Which was FINE BY ME, because I got to eat the [...]

I am running a lot. That gives me a lot of time to think about things. Lately, my mind has been gravitating towards “food as fuel” or more specifically, “I wonder what I should be eating for breakfast to make sure my morning run is optimal? Do I even need to eat [...]

I don’t like the treadmill at all. Like, at all. I get really bored and am constantly looking at the clock. When I try to cover up the clock with a towel, it’s not much better. The towel falls off or I have a skewed sense of how much time has passed.
For [...]

I was sitting here (okay fine, I’m lying on my bed) thinking about how different the Sisterhood is now than it was a year ago.   It was only 4 months old.  A wee baby, just learning how to spread her wings.  Finding her place in the big scary world known as the bloggy world.
She was [...]

Okay, for the life of me, I can’t remember the last time I confessed.
Naughty!
Let’s see… this week:

I baked. A lot. In the name of taking goodies to my sister-in-law, who just had a baby last week, and because my son keeps begging me for ‘birthday cake’. Birthday cake, to him, is anything in a muffin/cupcake [...]

I made this to go with steaks for dinner one night a few weeks ago. SO YUMMY! Even the kids gobbled it up using Baked Tostitos scoops! It’s all good as an appetizer, late night snack, on chicken, by itself…..well, you get the picture. In the famous words of DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba: [...]

Picture it, Sicily 1942-oh sorry, way too many late night Golden Girls episodes lately.  Where was I?  Oh yes, picture it:
I go to the gym, pick a machine, turn on my ipod, choose my playlist, put my ear buds in, hit play, [...]

This past week has been a huge struggle for me, workout wise. I’m hurting, and it’s kind of freaking me out. I listened to some of my fellow Sisters last week in one of our Team in Training conference calls, who were having a hell of a week LAST week.
The OHMYLORDIMUSTBEOUTOFMY MIND week.
Pretty sure this [...]

I am nothing without goals. I am constantly setting new goals for myself and am always dreaming of bigger things. I feel my best when I have something I am striving for, something I am set on achieving. Seriously? What’s life if you just stick to the same old routine? Pretty boring, if you ask [...]

So, I’m going to switch things up a little bit this week.  Instead of confessing things I’ve done bad, I’m going to confess things I’ve done good.
Is that bad English?  Things I’ve done well?  Things I’ve done good? Things I’ve done right?  Yeah, that sounds better.  I’m going to confess things I’ve done right.
No bull [...]

This weekend, I went for my long run for Team in Training. 
Most runs, I let my mind go blank, forgetting about stresses and troubles and to-do lists at home.  I let my mind go free from all of it, letting my iPod pound out good music in my ears.
And this weekend’s run was the same.
