One Week Without Coffee It's Wednesday, and that means it's been a full week since I last drank (caffeinated) coffee! Today I had some decaf in the french press, but I'm realizing that decaf coffee doesn't do it for me. I think it tastes the same as regular, but drinking it isn't fun for…

Some car fairy must have heard me complaining about having to drive so far to Erin's car guy, because yesterday the exact same problem started happening in my car! So here I sit, in a Panera Bread, while the car guy fixes it. Yes, Erin's car guy. I recently switched back to regular yogurt from…

In the spirit of my little break from cooking this week, Erin and I went to a Thai restaurant last night. Erin grew up in a really small town and she has this thing about old-fashioned good service, so whenever she has car trouble we need to drive 45 miles to the only guy in…

The NMA has asked me to post about my diet changes and offered me his famous gnocchi, so how could I say no? I am not doing this to talk about myself; I was simply hungry at the time and agreed to it. My diet wasn’t terrible recently; I skipped breakfast, ate a turkey sandwich…
Please forgive me for posting this picture. I try to include one with every post, nothing really fit, and "50 First Dates" kind of sounds like "The First 50 Days." So I went with it. And who doesn't have a soft spot for funny-voice comedian Adam Sandler? A little over a week ago, an unexpected…

As you already know if you follow me on Twitter, on Thursday I made the decision to stop drinking coffee! Writing I Can't Quit You, Coffee (and reading your mostly unsympathetic comments about it) motivated me to make the change. Qualifying for the Boston Marathon is one of the most important personal goals I have,…

It's time to come clean. As you know if you've been with this blog since the beginning, I didn't drink an ounce of coffee for ten straight days a few weeks back. After the headaches stopped on the second day, I didn't even miss it. As far as I was concerned, coffee was no longer…

Up to this point I haven't written a thing about running on this blog. It's been all about cooking, particularly vegetarian or almost-vegetarian cooking. I've tried to choose recipes that are hearty and nutritious (remember "vegetarian" could also mean Coke and fries) and could complement a training program, but certainly one could enjoy this food…
The 10-Day Challenge is over. I can go back to eating any way I want, and do it without shame. I don't spend much time thinking about my weight, but today I weighed myself, expecting to see what I usually see. I weighed-in at nearly five pounds less than I did when I started the…
