The Healthy Slice

Make the most of every day

Currently: Birthday Edition

Books: Way too frazzled with holiday stuff to be reading much of anything.

sunny trail

Running Path: It’s been so windy and raw here, I’ve been taking to the trails for refuge. I think this pic was taken on the one sunny day we’ve had here this month so far.

squat

Non-Running Workout: I’m all about the free weights. After just one week my body seems to be getting with the program and I’m much less sore after strength sessions. Haven’t gone for the gusto and attempted an unassisted pullup yet but hopefully soon.

peppermint mocha

Drink: Peppermint Protein Mocha. Made with this. Apparently I’ve got a thing for peppermint lately. Recipe is here.

birthday

Excitement: Hey, it’s my birthday, that’s all the excitement I can take for one day.
Garden Item: Say What? Well I’ve got a few butternut squashes from the garden left in the garage, but my stash is dwindling.
TV: Say what again? I’m eagerly awaiting the new season of The Bachelor with farmer Chris and Celebrity Apprentice in January. When it rains it pours. Until then, I watch nada. Even the Sex & the City reruns haven’t been on.

crack in a bag

Indulgence: I’ve sworn off holiday baking this year but somehow this crack-in-a-bag jumped into my shopping cart. I’ve been making chocolate bark like it’s my job too. Almond/apricot mostly. I’m giving most of it away, but dang it, pieces just keep jumping into my mouth.
Pet Peeve: I’m sure I could complain about the crowds at the mall or the total D-Bag who cut me off because he thought I was stealing his parking spot when all I was doing was trying to leave but I’m not gonna do it.
Mood: Celebratory and upbeat!

Birthday words of wisdom: Old is a state of mind. I don’t live in that state. Oh and don’t wear fleece socks too soon after a pedicure.

What is “Current” for you? Since Runfession Friday falls the day after Christmas, I’ll be sneaking mine in this Friday instead. Since strength is my focus, there may be some “Gymfessions” in there too! Feel free to join me!

  6. I hope you’re having a great birthday!!!
    Love the words of wisdom about not wearing fleece socks too soon after a pedicure – the biggest reason I don’t get pedis in the winter – no one sees my toes then anyway!!!

  8. My current pet peeve is the parents who let their children run around the shopping centre like it’s a playground. Luckily I’m agile enough to avoid them mostly but I’ve seen some horrible near misses with elderly people.

  9. Happy Happy Birthday! Ha ha, what is the fleece sock tip? I don’t get it (maybe since I never get pedicures). So you don’t mess up the paint?

  12. I’m all about the free weights too. I think they’ve become my own personal fountain of youth. Altho right now I’m so sore from yesterday’s deadlifts that I’m walking like an 80 year old man…

    I hope you enjoyed your birthday!

  15. Happy Birthday!! I haven’t done a currently in MONTHS– I need to get on that in the new year– Currently obsessed with the Walking Dead and once that is done I am going to try a pod cast… been hearing amazing things about Serial!

  17. A very happy birthday to you! I am going to take you up on that offer and come and run a 15 degree trail run with you– Not joking I need to plan a runcation! We can eat Crack in bag, go for cold trail runs, and tell each other jokes. Someday!

  18. I hope you enjoyed the birthday! I am a Celebrity Apprentice junkie- love that show! Don’t let me miss it! Thanks for the pretzel reminder too- I could eat that whole bag……now I need to stop at the store…Damn 🙂
