Okay guys, I really came close to quitting blogging. Part of it was because I know how sparse my posts have been, and I also started to feel I lost my blogging mojo. Since becoming single, I’ve spent so much of the past few months finding my “new normal”, that I just felt a little out of touch with how I’ve blogged in the past. But today I realized I’m not actually done, so I guess I’m no quitter after all 🙂
FOOD
There’s literally no way possible for me to show you the eats of the past 6 weeks. Actually, I probably could, but that would just be way too long!
It’s been pretty typical fare: smoothies, soups, curries, baked potatoes, and the like. A lot of traveling too, so some more fun eats as well.
made some homemade soy yogurt! Love this stuff. I make it super tart so it can be used in place of things like sour cream too
nice krispies!
spicy tofu soup!
Of course I had a TON of meals on the road the past month.
my survival basket from Whole Foods in San Jose (wine, fruit, etc).this, my friends, is called a Paffle. It’s two waffles, with tofu scramble in the middle! A bit challenging to eat, but so creative!can’t go to Florida and NOT go to Epcot. Well, I guess maybe you can, but I know I can’t! It was the international food and wine fest, which was just perfect
I was in Tampa for my bday and the group I was with sent this to my room. Very sweet (even though I didn’t eat it, it’s the thought that counts!)Dallas had the BEST Mexican and Tex-Mex fare ever.ugly pic, but amazing fajitas!
oddly super-green curry. But yummy.got to see my good friend JG in Dallas! Lovely evening with wine and Thai food!
typical hotel vegan food offerings….so the conference in Dallas specifically asked for dietary needs. I said vegan. NOTHING they served was. So they went and got me two bananas one morning. Ugh.
FITNESS
As it happens, I tore my right quadricep in that soccer game in mid-September, so I was sidelined for weeks! I was allowed to eventually do gentle yoga, but otherwise it was walks and upper body workouts only.
Just yesterday I finally felt fully ready to get back into some of my normal routine. So – I went to Hot Yoga! Hopefully this week there will be more of that, and some runs and boxing too. Being still just never works well for me.
hot, sweaty, stinky (I imagine anyway), and incredibly happy!
LIFE
Well, let’s see. Lots in the past 6 weeks of course. I had trips to San Jose, Tampa (with a side trip to Orlando), Charlottesville, Williamsburg, and Dallas.

Also, my youngest went to her first school dance! Homecoming – and I wonder where my little girl has gone.
hair appt – where Raven the miracle worker actually tamed her crazy curls
And other fun stuff!
bought this at Epcot. Couldn’t help myself (Disney junkie that I am!).

Clearly I’m cooking and they each think I have something they wantcame home from some travels to find this on the fridge. Man, I love my kids…carpooling with the eldest as her car was in the shop

I am a 45 yo busy career single mom and doctoral student attempting to find her inner athlete, be a gluten-free(ish) vegan, and find a way to balance it all without going crazy!
I love to cook, read, run, box, do yoga, dance, travel, and learn as many new things as I can - which often gets me in trouble....
I am passionate about life in general, and if I didn't write about it, I'd probably implode.

Wow, lots in this post! Love all your travel pics, I’d love to get back to Orlando for a little theme park fun. And great eats! Glad you’re back to blogging!
Thanks! It’s really nice to be back! Now that life is getting on more of an even keel, I’m seriously thinking of doing as many of the Disney runs as I possibly can 🙂
