My Weakness...

Hello my friends!  I can't believe it is Wednesday already!  These holiday weeks always seem to throw me off.  Hopefully, everyone is settling into a routine again, as another school year is now underway. Here in Michigan, the feeling of fall arriving is definitely being felt.  The mornings at the bus stop are very chilly, already! I am talking, see your breath, cold! I swear my blood has thinned since my brief 9 month bout in southern Ohio!  I like fall but, come on mother nature, could you please just ease me into it a little bit more gradually?!   

Anyway, I am fully challenging myself to make a very brief post today, just to see if I am even capable of doing so.  I didn't even plan on writing today but, something popped into my mind, so here I am.  

So, I went for a brief 3 mile run today just to test my body out and see if it was all recovered from my race.  I can report that I feel pretty good!  It was great to just head out to run at my favorite place and not have any pressure whatsoever, other than my own expectations of myself.  Although, I was feeling tired as I headed out, it still felt absolutely fabulous and carefree.  

Believe it or not, the point of this post was not about running...it was to be brief, right?  

After my run, I ate my lunch and was just wanting something sweet to munch on.  Call me lazy but, I wanted something easy.  Luck has it, my favorite treat is just that....easy.  I absolutely have a weakness for Rice Krispie treats.  They are so incredibly easy to whip up in a few minutes and just simply addictive. I just so happened to have just enough of all the needed ingredients to make a pan of these delicious, sticky, oh so yummy treats.  


My weakness....

I do suppose that I could have much worse things to call my weakness, such as, dark chocolate fudge brownies or white chocolate cherry cheesecake.  Can you see me trying to reason with myself on why its okay for me to sit down and eat the entire pan of these and feel okay with doing so? Of course, I will not do so, but, maybe close.  Am I asking for your approval?  Nah.  Of course it would be nice, but, once in awhile it is okay to give in to harmless weaknesses such as these.  Keep in mind....once in a while, being the key phrase.  After all, I did burn over 1000 calories on Saturday while running...OK, enough  reasoning.  

What is your weakness?  Do you feel guilty if you give into it?  

Enjoy your day!

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

It Happened To Me Again!

I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1. So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me.  Are you ready for this one?  I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retai

Munchie Mix for Monday

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans.  Here is what I did t
