"I really regret eating healthy today." ~ said no one EVER! Just keep that one in mind, Folks.

Managed to lace up the running shoes and hit the pavement today for another chilly run (33F and 24F with windchill! Yowsa!) and I rather enjoyed it! I just wish there was a touch of sunshine instead of these dark, grey skies, day in and day out. Oh, and for those of you cold-loving runners, is there anyway to prevent yourself from turning into a human snot machine when you're running in cold weather? Sorry if that's gross, but my nose runs like crazy when I'm running and was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints?

Food wise, I'm trying to plan something fun for The Sig-O and me for Christmas, and since we don't eat "conventional" foods (i.e. anything remotely processed, man-made, animal products or grains), I'm thinking I might make some almond flour flatbread, baked falafel burgers and maybe more of my Kashmir garam masala curry red split lentil and butternut squash soup and some of my amazing raw, vegan, sugar/grain-free "pumpkin pie in a jar".

For me, "healthy" never takes a vacation. It is a state of being. And no holiday is going to derail me from feeling so joyful, healthy and full of vitality and boundless energy! Besides, aren't the holidays about joy, friends, family, goodwill and love? Screw the eggnog, I'd rather go for a nice, long jog! (Hey, that rhymed!)

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! Be safe, be healthy, and when holiday stress rears its ugly head, just remember to breathe.

Kale, Kettlebells and Kisses to you all!
*muuaaahhhh*

Great advice for Holiday eating! I could use the advice about the runny nose too....I am just getting back into and what I do really couldn't be called running but I plan on working up to it!!

I could barely drag myself a mile a year ago and I finished a half-marathon this fall, so just keep putting one foot in front of the other and it'll get better! Promise!

Just take tissues with you and learn to blow your nose while running.

I'm already really good at blowing my nose while running. But I'm partial to what I affectionately refer to as "old lady handkerchiefs". You know, those hankies old ladies used to shove down their cardigan sleeves. I throw them in the washer at the end of a run and they're nose and eco-friendly! I've suffered from horrible seasonal allergies and when the mold spore count spikes after a rainfall for most of my adult life, and even those "tissues with lotion" rip your nose to bloody, chapped pieces, nothing is softer to the nose than an old fashioned hanky! I collect them embroidered and vintage from consignment shops.
