Chicago Here I Come

by Nicci on 05/20/2010

Happy to say I will be attending the 2nd annual Healthy Living Summit in August.  I’ve never been to Chicago, so if anyone knows of places to eat and visit, please let me know.

I came home just in time to purchase my ticket Wednesday night after Zumba class and a 2 mile run.

Loving my new Yoga top, purchased for a measly $1.99 @ Old Navy. Woohoo gotta love that store; the tank kept me nice and cool during Zumba.

Freaking out…

I’ve been slacking in the running department lately…shame on me. I’m running this 5k with Kyra from A Foodie Gets Fit on Saturday for ”Run for Retrievers”; can’t wait to meet her in person.  I’m focusing on fun rather than time, but I know I may change my mind at the last minute before the race begins.

Snack Attack.

Last night called for a late night smoothie since my body is craving fruits. Some weeks I go heavy on veggies but slack on fruit; not on purpose.

My smoothie contained:

  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 packet Amazing Grass Green Food

 Happy Friday.

Good Habits are Forming

by Nicci on 11/16/2009

Good habits are forming with sticking to a schedule for work and life in general.  I’m going strong with all my work outs and running. I pulled out my trusty crock pot to make dinner in advance last night.  This way I have time for a work out, Old Navy stop and laundry.  I’ve also decided to cook and bake more b/c I have been slacking in those categories.

Breakfast was another Amazing Grass smoothie on the go…
