FOOD DETECTIVE

Girl, this ones for you! Remember, we are free from dieting! And mommy runners, lets be real with each other! You will be driving through that MceeDee's one day or another, don't feel guilty.

Its all in the switch up. 

1. Grab a really yummy chocolate performance protein shake instead of a chocolate milkshake. Seriously, mixed with ice, its close.

2. I love me sum crunch. Find a better option than a chip. I'm not for the celery crunch either, I get it. I can switch to air pop corn though.

3. All fast food is gross. There are those darn unprepared days that we've gone to the drive thru and you can find a healthier option.

4. Stock your freezer. Sounds gross? Nope, these days its better to grab a Lean Cuisine and let those taste buds go crazy for low calorie, small portion. Remember, we made peace with pasta so if you want the chicken alfedo this might be the way.
5. You know Pinterest? Well, get on the bandwagon and search for skinny drinks. See, if you have the mindset of rejecting the diet mentality then you are free of guilt. BUT(!!!) the world isn't there yet. So yes, you're still going to have to say or use the lame word skinny. I'm sure you could use healthy living or green drinks to but I am talking bout' a better option for a sangria or espresso martini. Just bein' real peeps.

PLEASE DONT STOP THE MUSIC, MUSIC...

There is something so great when the right song comes on while running. Its like the best duo's in history. I'm sure its up there with Lucy and Desi or Mickey and Mini (cracking myself up right now). For me, music is super important while running. I sometimes try to run 3 or 4 miles and pray or have some solitude but mostly I run with music.  Music pumps me up and with a high beats per min. (BPM) you can raise your heart rate and make you run more worth it {shred lb.'s,}.  I search for 200 intense songs which is a lot of top 40, hip hop and house like Flo Rida, Rihanna, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Jay Z and so on. Its not for everyone but everyone should try it.

GO FREE YOURSELF

NIKE + RUN + FREE

What could be better? Food? They have that too, and treats and give aways. Well, after you run a few numbers. 

Check out Junior's socks as he is about to run in the Nike Free's. So fun to try out shoes that aren't even out yet. 

Oh hey rad design display

 And the Free's I get to try. LOVED em'! 

 These people are so inspirising all with a unique story. Now go find a Nike store and run.

YOGA CONVERSION?

We all know Ms. Turlington loves her yoga but she has crossed over to the asphault. She is also way more than just a pretty face. My favorite quotes she says about running is "I just love being outside. Everybody keeps asking me if I've been on a permanent vacation because of my tan." But the kicker was when she said this, "It's almost like meditation for me. I've been a yoga practitioner for many years, and I didn't realize there was as much of a connection between long-distance running and my yoga practice. It's not so much that you empty your mind with complete silence and peace, but you do get a sense of being able to see your life and put some order to it. I think there are so many extra benefits to running besides the health ones that come from getting your heart rate up, sweating, and all that other good stuff." Go ahead, read the article and lace up those shoes.
