WIAW #5

Thanks again to Jenn over at Peas & Crayons for the WIAW link up!

I must say that this is not one of my proudest posts!  However, I must be honest, so here goes it!

I had a pumpkin mug with plain Chobani for breakfast.  I was off to a great start until I found out that Truman wasn’t feeling well & not going to school.

After a few phone calls, I needed a snack.  Looks like Nemo wanted some of this delicious apple too.  She didn’t get any!

Lunch was leftover soup!  It’s still good & I’m not tired of it, so it was lunch!

After lunch is when problems arose!  Truman wanted to make cupcakes, so I promised I wouldn’t add chickpeas, coconut flour, spelt flour, or any of my other secret additions.  They would be down right poison, nothing good for you in them, just the way he likes them.  So, we found a box of cake mix in the pantry (only one we had) along with frosting, and we were making cupcakes.  The problem is that I LOVE cake batter.  Gross, you may say, but I say YUM!  So, I had a spoonful of batter here & a lick of the finger there & by the time we were done filling up the cake tins, I was a bit naseaus!  I like it a lot & have no control when it comes to this poison!

That was my afternoon snack.  Nothing good about that, but Truman was happy!

Dinner was great!  We all had eggs different ways.  Mine were nice & easy.  I had a jar of Rotelle with poached eggs, hot sauce & nutritional yeast as a topper!  Really quick, easy & delicious!

Then, the boys were having cupcakes for desert, well I had to have 1.  Yes, I only had one, am really sick of them now.  (At least until next time.)  I always tell myself that I’m never going to do that again, but then next time comes & I do it again!  More issues…..

I did have a quick run in the a.m., along with my push ups as planned, so at least I started the day off on the right foot & felt good about that.

I’m now off to run on my treadmill watching my new passion: Jail Break.

Love that show!

Health and Fitness Group Giveaway!!!! (& RunnerBox winner)!

Happy Friday to all!

I have to tell you that I was a little sad yesterday because I had such a rough time running.  I only got 2 miles in.  Some days I just don’t feel it & don’t push it when I’m feeling like that!  I’m hoping to get my mojo back this weekend!  Sometimes, I guess it’s just my body’s way of telling me to take a break, so I try to listen.

What do you have planned for this weekend?

Bathing suit time! Yikes!

I had such a yummy dinner last night & wanted to share it with you!

I started out with my favorite roasted vegies.

I roast the kale salad in the oven with garlic/onion powder, chili powder & paprika: 425 for 20 minutes.

pb date dressing

Then I made this delicious dressing to go on top!

3/4 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

2 T Bragg’s Amino Acids

5 Medjool dates

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Blended in blender until smooth & put a nice plop into my vegies!

It is seriously delicious!  Simple & delicious!

I wanted to tell you about a line of clothing that I absolutely LOVE & I’m not so sure many of you know about it.  It’s called Quenchwear!

QUENCHWEAR IS ALL ABOUT:
FIT 
Fit on a women’s body
with a thicker waist and curves,
this detail is key to the way the
pieces hang and embrace the body.

STYLE 

Quenchwear is a system of dressing for the modern era. It’s modular dressing that’s made up of interchangeable building block basics.

VERSATILITY 
From relaxing at the pool or spa, working out (gym, tennis, yoga, whatever) working, or a night out, it’s perfect here, there, and everywhere. And it’s the ultimate travel wear!

It’s funny; Quenchwear is described as “modular dressing that’s made up of interchangeable building block basics”.  Do you remember Garanimals?  That’s just like Quenchwear!  It’s simple to mix & match whichever pieces you like.

I was introduced to Quenchwear several years ago by a dear friend who had a party in her home.  When Quenchwear was starting out, it was mostly introduced via “Tupperwear” type parties in people’s homes.  I immediately fell in love with the clothes.  Mostly, the bathing suit.  I immediately bought one.  It has plenty of coverage and support & yet is still stylish.  I love it!  Actually, over the years, I bought other bathing suits, but nothing compared & I continued to wear my Quenchwear suit.  Then, I purchased a 2nd suit, as another style I liked came out.  So, now I have 2 Quenchwear bathing suits.  I’m as comfortable as I can possibly be in a bathing suit.  They’re both tank tops & I have 1 skirt bottom & 1 short bottom.  I absolutely love them both.

I’m letting you know about this company, because I constantly tell people about it, but because it’s only sold online & not in stores, many people aren’t aware of them.

They do much more than swimwear, but that’s what I fell in love about Quenchwear.  The spring is coming & it’s time to start thinking of bathing suits.  So, I contacted the fine ladies at Quenchwear & they were generous enough to offer any of my readers 30% of on any Quenchwear you choose by using the code RUNMOM30 until Friday March 15.  So, if you’re thinking of making a purchase, don’t hesitate.  The 1st pieces I purchased from Quenchwear several years ago are still in great shape & I wear them often.

If I find something I love, I want to share it with you.  I do not work for Quenchwear, they didn’t compensate me in anyway, I just wanted to share this with you & hope you find them to be a quality company, as do I.  They offer a lot more than bathing suits, but it’s so hard for me to find a suit I like, that I am simply so happy to have found a company that can meet my bathing suit needs!

This is all of my Quenchwear.  See my color theme!  Just like Garanimals- :).

Please let me know if you do order & if you love Quenchwear as much as I do!

Don’t forget about the RunnerBox giveaway.  It’s over on Friday, so don’t forget to enter here.  There are great things in the box.  For those of you who are looking forward to trying some new products before purchasing them, here’s your chance.
