I knew these weren’t collards, but they were on the collard shelf, and I was way too tired to argue.  So I told myself, “Caitlin, these are baby collards.” Got home, read the label, and discovered I had purchased dandelion greens.  Not sure how I felt about accidentally purchasing – and eating – dandelion greens.  [...]

Whoop, whoop!  After 7+ hours of packing and cleaning, we’re finally resting happily at my in-laws’ (1.5 hours north of Orlando). It was truly a long, long day!  Let’s get this recap started…   Woke up early with a bit of a hangover from our going away party.  When will I ever learn that 1 [...]

Meghann bought the same 40-day pass for Hot Yoga that I recently purchased, so she joined me tonight for a sweaty sesh!  But first, we stopped at my favorite vegetarian cafe, Dandelion CommuiTea, for some hot tea. We both got the Detox Tea, which had peppermint and other yummy herbs. Hot yoga was, as usual, [...]

Husband drove me to yoga class this morning!  I invited him to come, but he begged off, saying the class was a little too “advanced” for him.  It’s not that advanced, but I think hot yoga makes him nervous. :) Do you ever actually follow the teacher’s breathing instructions?  I know the rule is “breath [...]

I really wanted to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this morning!  The Husband felt the same way, so we decided to take the dogs to downtown Orlando and explore.   First, we made breakfast at home to save a little money: That’s a mini whole wheat bagel, a dippy egg, grapes, and EVOO-fried [...]

I LOVE writing race recaps, but I also love pre-race posts!  I always feel so excited and positive.  I'm hardly ever nervous -- what's there to be scared of?  All races are great races, in my opinion!   My clothes are laid out....  I've already got my number, so that's one less thing to worry [...]

It was the Husband's turn to be interviewed! He did a great job!   Filming is now officially over, and when the video is done in a month or so, I'll be sure to share.   I had a light lunch around noon. Two little whole wheat bagels with melted cheese and sprouts: And raw veggies [...]

Gonna make this snappy - I have a race to prepare for!   The Husband and I went out to dinner and a movie.  We saw Harry Potter, which I thought was very good but kind of slow.   Before we left, I snacked on cherries.  We ate dinner at Dandelion CommuniTea (a vegan restaurant).  [...]

Hello!  Around 10 AM, I started to prepare for my 30-mile bike ride by eating some fuel.  I had a whole wheat English muffin + PB. Then, I got completely dressed (helmet on and everything), but when I went to pump my tires, I realized my pump was broken! :(   I asked the Husband [...]

Evening, lovelies.  Today was a typical Monday in the Boyle household (yayyy)... we worked, went to the gym, went to the grocery store, bought lottery tickets, made dinner, and we're now watching sports/Gossip Girl.   Mid-day snacks included.....  the ever-faithful combo of Grape Nuts + yogurt (con blueberries). Two truffles... Some crackers.  I was in [...]

Good evening! Well, since I woke up so late, we didn't get around to errands until 1 PM... and I never got a chance to run. Oh well! I think my shopping functioned as cardio today!   After a trip to Wal-Mart for a wall mount for our television, we stopped at the Track Shack.  [...]

Good evening! Sorry I didn't post ALL day! I am obviously in a whirlwind of emotions at this point, so I'm sorry if posting isn't very regular.   My morning started off with a yummy platter of WW pancakes and some real maple syrup. Plus a banana. Then my mother, my maid of honor Sarah, [...]

Add another 7.0 miles of walking around the mall to my cardio for the day.  I am sooooo tired!  Unfortunately, we weren't too successful in our errands.  We didn't find centerpiece vases, but we did play around with silk flowers and decided on a general style for the tables. Pretty, yes?   Before we left [...]
