Some where in the span of the last half year – give or take a couple weeks – life went from sickly sweet and seemingly picture perfect to oh-so-insanely soap opera-ish that even Susan Lucci would have to change the channel because she can’t keep up.
Yes, once upon a time I used to watch All My Children. So sue me.
Yes, yes, I know. It’s been a while. I’m still here though. Still running. Still riding. Still drinking green juice. Still eating salads as big as my head. Still living in the city. Still blogging. Oh no, wait, not quite. Blogging again? Hmmm, maybe. I don’t know for sure just yet.
What I do know though is that today I’m feeling motivated to write a little something about the newest thing I’m currently psyched about:
Raising our own backyard chickens.
I was hungry sort of early today for lunch. This felt like more a snack than lunch. I made fast guac (avocado and salsa!) with some carrot legs to chomp on.

A few hours later Maxine and I were headed out to visit a friend. I was hungry and knew I had to eat before we left. In days gone by it would have been pretty typical to grab a handful of Kashi crackers and some hummus as a quick, healthy, out the door snack. I’m not knocking this as a healthy snack option, this is of course better than something from the fast food drive thru. I’ve just come to discover, especially this past week and the disappearance food cravings… any processed foods, organic or not, seem to be what sends me into a downward spiral with craving sugar and more processed carbs.
Today started with nice and easy 5.28 miles in just over 40 minutes.
While I was on my run, Zak picked breakfast from our tiny berry patch the backyard.
Those little red berries in the back are currants, there are also red raspberries, small cherries and some black raspberries hiding in the pile too.
Whoops! Lucky for you we’re vegetarian so you are pardoned Mr. Slug.
Zak and I ate fruit for breakfast together standing on the deck since the chairs were still wet from last nights rain. I busted out the watermelon for a little more pink.
