Here are the updates on my 100 day challenge with Courtney from Run, Courtney, Run:
1. Create and maintain healthy eating habits
I’m doing good on this one and kind of excited about it. I grabbed a Vegan Cookbook to get some clean recipes. I’m not going Vegan and will still eat eggs and such, but I figured it’d be a great way to find new recipes. That and the blog world has a ton of good ones too! I will do a post about one of my new favorite blogs really soon!
2. Run 20 miles each week
Goal #2 is going to be a HUGE FAIL for this week! Seriously, I think I’ll be lucky if I hit 5 miles.
3. Lower my body fat %
I’m doing great on this one too! I have to admit, the past few years it’s only moved up or down about 1%. I’m really seeing progress now and I love it!!!!
Three Things Thursday
1. I can’t express how busy it has been this past week. I’ve decided that I need to step down from a few things to get my sanity back and to not always be crazy busy. I let one commitment go this week and next week will be my last week for another commitment. After that, instead of having commitments Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I’ll only have my Wednesday, Thursday commitments. I’m SOOO excited about these two things! More on those things in a later post!
2. This past Tuesday we had another team building exercise with work. This time we went to the park, grilled out, and played volleyball! SO much fun!
3. I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a certification in Nutrition & Wellness. I don’t want to use it to change careers. I just want it to be more knowledgeable for myself and to be able to help others achieve/maintain their goals. Any thoughts or advice?
Hope you’re having a great week!

Three Things Thursday and a Recipe
Three Things Thursday
1. Food Day – Today at work, we had a food day for all of the September birthdays. With my new direction on eating better, guess where they decided to put all of the food? The desk right next to me. There is a veggie tray, so it’s not all bad. I’ve snacked on that mostly. I also brought my lunch/snacks to work as normal. I should have made something healthy and delicious. Instead, I skipped the healthy, and just made the delicious. My hubby asked me last week to make a certain dessert again, so I decided to make that and keep a batch at home. Check out the goodness here.
2. Do One Thing – A while back, my work launched a ‘Do One Thing’ idea. Basically it encouraged all associates to do one healthy thing each day. For some reason, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Even on my rest days, I need to at least do one thing that is better for me than what I would normally do. One of the things I’ve done is to take the stairs instead of the elevator. I only work on the second floor, so if I don’t have too much baggage with me, I will take the steps instead of the elevator.
3. I am SO ready for this weekend! Life has been busy, busy, busy and I am ready for some down time. I think the hubby and I are going to try and go relax at the pool on Saturday and possibly even Monday. Praise God for 3+ day holiday weekends!
Recipe
I have been making this breakfast treat for a few weeks now (not every day) and I really like it! If you think of any ways to improve it, be sure to let me know!
Banana Nut Bread Oatmeal
Ingredients:
1/3 cup dry oats
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup 100% pineapple juice (or 100% apple juice)
1 medium banana, sliced and divided
2 tbs chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except the banana and stir. Take half the banana, slice it in to the mixture and stir. Heat and stir again. The bananas should mix in with the rest of the oatmeal. Top with the remaining half of the banana slices and enjoy!
