Look at that! The Nike+ returns! I got a replacement for Christmas and I broke it in today on the 5K resolution run in Baltimore.
It was seriously my first real run in months. Since the marathon I haven’t had any desire to get out there like I was. I have to admit, It was tough, I felt out of breath, out of shape and now I’m SORE! In a good way. :)
Besides the run I had some serious family time this morning. The little guy and I wrestled, made breakfast and invented a few new family games. The husband had breakfast with us and we all headed out to run a few errands before the race.
After the 5k we made a good dinner and then the husband and I paid all the end of year bills, getting our finances in order.
It was a good, productive, fun day. The best kind.
Right now I’m exhausted and I need to take a shower before bed. So I’ll be cutting this short. I’ll leave you with my menu. I’m making an effort to get back to basics. I was considering counting points again but I want to trust myself and follow my instincts. My mantra this week is to eat when hungry and make good choices. It should be that easy, right? :)

|---|---|
| 1 egg 2 egg white omelet loaded with extra veggies and a bit of bacon bite. that’s how i start the new year! :) | |

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]

That’s great! I think that the funk phase is leaving out
I would love to see the recipe for the balsamic dijon chicken tenders, but for some reason the link doesn’t work.
Sounds like you had a great day!
I need to replace my Nike Sensor. I miss using it on my runs.
Im hoping to try out my new Nike+ stuff tomarrow – if the damn wind dies down… it will blow me away!
I’m getting a new nike+ too! I lost mine this summer and my running took a hit.
But it’s a new year.. new year!!
here’s to many wonderful runs.
Congrats on getting a run in on the first day! Today was a DOR for me but I’m going to get out there tomorrow! I loved my Nike+ but after I used it in a race and noticed how horribly off it was, I stopped using it.
My fave toy is my Garmin 305.
Have a great sleep!
Good work on the first run of the year! I got a Nike+ for Christmas (from hubby) and I’m looking forward to using it. I had ITB/knee problems for about 6 months last year so I need to take it slowly.
I’m going back to basics with my eating too, I’ve gotten a bit off track!
Too, bad nike+ took a dump already! We are all getting back to the basics this new year, aren’t we?! Happy New Year!
Congrats on the run! I hope to take up running in 2010.
Julie – I fixed the the links! Thanks for letting me know!
Congrats on the run! I really want a Nike+, but I need to start running before I get one, haha.
Wow I need to get one of those Nike+ things. Looks way cool. Way to get back into it! It’s tough I know. I run for 10 out of the 20 mins on the treadmill and I’m hating life. But afterwards, it feels so good!
Sounds like you started the new year off right! Glad you had a great,family filled day!
That’s amazing! Congrats on getting back to running. I’m starting to that myself.
