Tid Bits

Sorry I have been so sporadic lately! Life!! Anyway, I am a fan of Giada de Laurentis (if you don't know who she is, you gotta check her out!), and decided to make these roasted tomatoes of hers that just looked too good to resist, and it was AMAZING!!! Here is a link to the recipe on her site: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/roasted-tomatoes-with-garlic-gorgonzola-and-herbs-recipe/index.html  

These were so fast and easy to make and they were, I am not kidding, the best thing I have eaten in months!!!!! SOOOOO good! Wish I would have taken a picture for you, but there is on on the webpage you can see. I actually used parmesan instead of the gorgonzola because I was afraid my hubby wouldn't eat the gorgonzola, and even he loved them! I am going to make them again tomorrow. This could be my new favorite thing to eat!

Also wanted to share my friend's blog with you that is a gazillion times more informative and helpful than mine!! She is my pilates teacher and has a doctorate. She is highly qualified and has a lot of really great things to share, so check her out!!! http://hightofwellness.blogspot.com/ Love her to death-so enjoy!!!

I have also been reading Jillian Michaels book, 'Master your Metabolism' and it has been really interesting and informative about how the foods we eat affect our bodies, especially our hormones, which control everything in our bodies. Check it out and get informed! She is a bit extreme, but she has some really great information about foods, how your hormones work, and how to make good food choices. Just FYI. 

Woo HOOOOOOO!!!!

Sorry I have been so terrible at updating this blog, but we'll just chock that up to be being a total CRAZY person!!!! So, I don't have any pictures to post, because my computer is infected with a virus, and I haven't gotten it fixed yet-but I have some good stuff to share!!! My hubby and I FINISHED our half marathon!!!!!! It was our very first half marathon-and the longest I have EVER ran! (My previous length was 8.5 miles-yes, even training for it-that was the longest I ran!) It was soooooo great! (Okay, so let's be honest-the first 10 miles were great; the last three, we were just hanging on for dear life!) We ran it in 2 hrs 11 minutes and 6 seconds; our goal time was 2 hrs 10 minutes, so we were very happy with that! We finished in the top third of the competitors, I finished 3500 out of 13,000 some women and I was really excited about that! It was really great to do something like that with my hubby, and even though he didn't want to at first, he stayed with me the whole way, and was glad he had by the end! I know that isn't super amazing, but it felt good to do it! Thanks to my wonderful husband who supported me and did it even though he really didn't want to!!!
