YUM! I love brussel sprouts too. They are so yummy when roasted. I can't wait to have mine today :)

Looks like you had a great food day and I'm happy to hear that your run went so well.

glad you liked the brussels sprouts - i used to hate them as a kid, but now they are one of my staple veggies - so easy to prepare!

Your dog's full name cracks me up! Nice job on the run! Glad the leg is feeling better.

anon - my immediate reaction is that you should see a doctor. if you have weight to lose and have been working out for 6 days a week, and eating a balanced diet, you shouldn't be having trouble losing weight in a healthy way (about 1 lb a week). there are a number of hormonal and medication issues that can affect weight loss.

also, i hate to encourage this, but are you counting calories? that's how i lost the weight. to lose weight, i had to stick around 1600-1800 calories.

if you look at my current eating habits, i am easily putting away anywhere from 1900 (on non rest days) to 2800 (super long run days) calories a day. i eat very healthfully, but my weight hasn't budged while training for my half. just because you eat whole foods doesn't mean you're not consuming too many calories to achieve weight loss. you may also want to see a nutritionist for recommendations on your calorie intake, in light of your intense exercise.

good luck!

I had a baked sweet potato for dinner as well... try putting a dollop of natural yogurt on top with a sprinkle of cinnamon! Divine (espec' with those beans!)..

I am really trying to lose weight and i seem to beign doing all of the right things.. eating healthy balanced meals frequently but also cutting down on calories. Making sure I fuel and refuel after a workout. Workout a burn 400-600 calories a session. And i usually take off 1 or 2 (if super busy) days off of exercising a week. I have been doig this for 3 months now .. and still no budge. What is going wrong?

congrats on a great run!!!

i've never had brussel sprouts either! i'm terrified to try them since i'd heard all my life how much everyone hates them! but seeing people try them on the blog has me excited!

glad you run went well and i love the meme!

I love to read your blog! I hardly ever comment, but your enthusiasm for running has really complemented mine!! I just did a 10K 2 weekends ago and I am training for a 1/2 marathon in November. I often think of you on my long runs ... "if she can do it, so can i!!" Your snacks have been inspiring, and if I didn't go out to eat tonight I was actually going to try the sweet potato/black bean combo!! (plus some fage I think). Alsooo I just wanted to say that I loved the Power of Now. Not so sure if it's really a cover-to-cover kind of book, but it is my go-to for situations when I need to slow down and center myself, like yoga! Keep it up .. you rock :)

I'm amazed neither of you have had brussels sprouts! I could never understand why people hate them so much. I'm glad you liked them!

You have never had brussel sprouts? I love them with vinegar on them.
Maybe we can meet up at Gasparilla. I am desperately trying to meet like minded people in my area.
Good job on the run.
Your blog makes me hungry! :)

I love brussel sprouts too! I just had them for the first time two years ago, and couldn't believe how good they were (I feel like they get a bad wrap!)

LOL - I love that your dogs full name is Maggie Britney Spears Thatcher - too cute! :)
