Get Some Fruit in Your Life

March 15, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! In most of my WIAWs I’ve said that I really need more fruit in my diet. I eat a banana or apple most days weeks, however I am not a big fan of berries. Something about the texture bugs me, not to mention the fact that they seem to go bad pretty quickly. …

{WIAW #20} Drooling all Day

March 14, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Good Morning Friends! I hope everyone is having a great week so far!   I cannot believe it’s Wednesday but I am so excited because I missed out on WIAW last week due to crazy stress and busyness.  (More info on WIAW.) The food pictured was from a couple of weeks ago when I made my…

Thankful Thursday

March 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve had another challenging day.  I have been dealing with a case of the grumpy-everything-is-stupid-and-why-am-I-always-tired syndrome lately.  I mean I didn’t even do my WIAW post this week due to my stress causing shooting pains in my stomach last night and I am super bummed! Let me tell you, SIX hours of Chemistry…

Keep Moving

March 6, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Running is not always easy or fun for me. Take today.  It was abnormally warm today and I have been used to bundling up like crazy to run.  I wore a sweatshirt that I had to awkwardly take off (after taking off my garmin watch and glasses and almost dropping my ipod five…

Crockpot Chili

March 5, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

crockpot chili seasoning

 Hello Friends! I am a beginner cook.  I am sure most of you have realized this. I am fascinated by all of these cooking blogs that I follow because each one makes me feel like I know even less about preparing a meal.  (See my Friday Five Foodie Finds for recipes I drool over weekly.) …

March 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! How’s your day going?  Mine feels busy, but it’s all relative right?  TGIF! I had to get up early this morning to go babysit a cat before I headed out to school.  Yes, babysit a cat.  😉  My friend is out enjoying some sweet oceanic views so I get to pretend to be…

WIAW #19 Beautiful day…of homework

February 29, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Let me share a story with you… It was a lovely Saturday morning. I had a 4 mile run planned that day. And a lot of homework.  You see, I take an online class that has a quiz due each Saturday. So naturally I wait until the last minute to finish my studying…

Happy Pancake Day! Oatcakes Recipe

February 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Pancake Day Friends! Little did I know when I was preparing and tweaking this recipe from Lee at Fit Foodie Finds that it would be on the very day of National Pancake Day! (Who thinks of these holidays?  How can I get in on that?) I made the original recipe for the BF and…

Goal Achieving Awesomeness

February 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Monday, Friends! I have this habit of creating extra long posts (have you noticed this?).  So I decided to split up my food post and goals post.  You’re welcome. I can’t believe that we are coming to the end of February.  This means that it is high time to check out my New Years…

Are you a Fairweather Runner?

February 24, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Dear Friends, I used to be somewhat of a fairweather runner.   Sometimes I just wanna stay inside when I see this! But something has changed recently.   It could be all of the inspiration I am finding on the Dailymile.com or Twitter.  It could be the need to complete my miles, and the quickest way is…
