Running Fever

True Confession here: I miss running, I miss it badly! I need to find time to run somehow somewhere. My schedule seems so tight that I don’t know where to fit it in or even where to begin. I miss it in two ways, one is the fact that I want to maintain being physically fit and my routine usually includes running, and second I miss the high I get from running, the feeling of conquering the next mile or even the next few minutes or even the next stop light when I run out on the street. I also set a running challenge for myself which I am suppose to begin this year.

Since I am up at 5.30am feeding the baby(ies) and getting ready for work, the morning time does not seem to work and then after work I have about 2 hours before the babies go to bed which is just enough for me to do some bonding, bath time and feeding. Next is dinner if I’m cooking that night and then getting some rest for myself. 

Sooooo, I don’t know, what do you think? Are these excuses? Could I carve out sometime somewhere or am I really beating up myself too much? Ugh, I am still looking for the solution but right now I guess I can dream of when I settle into some sort of routine someday. 

I miss you, running! Rant over…

Meal Planning Monday (err Thursday..)

So I have been seriously slacking on putting out my meal planning on the blog, but trust me I have been following through, I have it noted down in my handy dandy note book that I take everywhere with me, so far this is what my week has looked like-

Monday: 

Potatoes and Sautéed Kale with red peppers and Turkey

Tuesday: 

Pesto Pasta and Salad

Wednesday: 

Corn and Spinach Salad and Salmon

Thursday: 

Brown Rice tomato stew and sautéed carrots and butter beans

Friday: 

Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken and sweet potatoes or brown rice

Saturday: 

Mediterranean Quesadillas

Sunday: 

Leftovers of anything!

My philosophy in meal planning is really easy, eat a healthy variety, avoid too much rice, save money on grocery shopping, and no red meat!

Some tools that have helped me so far is finding recipes on sites like wholefoods.com, some favorite food friendly blogs like budgetbytes.blogspot.com which I routinely add to my pinterest, (you can follow me here) I also find awesome recipes on pinterest.

When I don’t have any specific recipe I just throw anything together, an example is Monday’s recipe (Potatoes and Sautéed Kale with red peppers and Turkey), this recipe is a hit with my husband especially, I always have potatoes on hand (red or white), so I either bake or boil them with a pinch of black pepper and salt. 

Kale is always handy in my fridge too, I chop up three bunches and sauté with onions and red peppers and I usually buy a huge batch of turkey legs from my butcher (I go to the butcher once a month), I prep them by cooking it and storing in several Ziploc bags so that they are available to use whenever I need some sort of meat. I diced the already cooked Turkey into the sauté and it came out delish! If I didn’t have Turkey I would substitute with shrimp, equally yum!

31 Days of Prayer for your Husband

As the month of June is about to begin, it marks a couple of important dates for me, my 5^th year anniversary and Father’s Day. Bearing this in mind, I decided to go through 31 Days of Prayer for my Husband, (forget that June has only 30 days ;-) ) I will be sharing the prayers each day in June, you can always catch up if you don’t happen to catch this from Day 1. 


I promise it will be worth it!

Bless your husband by praying for him! The Apostle Paul instructed all
Christians to pray for one another (Ephesians 6:18). This includes
wives’ responsibility and privilege to pray for their husbands.
Earnest prayer for your husband is good for him, for you and the
spiritual health of your home (Proverbs 31:11-12).

Satan desires to destroy your husband, especially his character and
his leadership in your relationship. Trust God through prayer as you
daily surrender your husband and marriage to the Lord’s wise, loving
care.


Day 1
Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and consider his
accountability before the Lord. Pray that he will guard his heart by
developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study, prayer,
meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (2 Peter 3:18; Prov. 4:23)
