Good morning! You know how life seems to ebb and flow? There are good times, bad times and a lot of mundane in between. Over the last few weeks I’ve come to realize that I’m smack in the middle of one of those good times and feeling a deeper sense of peace and ease right now than I’ve felt in all of 2016. Nothing super special has happened but things just seem to be coming together in all the right ways on both a personal and professional level. And for that I feel really grateful.
I am also grateful for all of you. Thank you for reading and for sharing your comments on yesterday’s post. They were heartfelt and wonderful. I’ve also loved connecting with so many of you through the online half marathon training group. We ended up with almost 450 runners from all backgrounds and walks of life and it’s pretty cool to see everyone come together on a shared goal.
I didn’t intend to start today’s post on such a sappy note but I just wanted to share what was on my heart. <3
Now, let’s talk breakfast! I was browsing through my TimeHop this morning and saw that one year ago today I posted a big bowl of oatmeal. I realized that I haven’t eaten oatmeal since pre-Whole30 so I decided today was the day. It’s also the last day of August so I decided to bring together summer and fall with our oatmeal. We’re enjoying the last of South Carolina peach season and they’ve been big, juicy and sweet lately.
Peaches & Cream Egg White Oatmeal
I made peaches and cream oatmeal with chia seeds and egg whites and sweetened with mashed banana…no sugar added!
I mashed a banana and put it in a saucepan with coconut oil, raisins and peaches and then added all the other stuff. Here is the recipe for two servings.

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]

I’m going to get really real right away. I wish I could say that I was feeling excited and confident about the race but [...]
