Follow my Footsteps

Happy Tuesday everyone!


I am a bad blogger and have about a zillion posts to catch up and comment on, So if i haven't commented on your blog in a couple of days, I still love you AND your fabulous blog


Yesterday I woke up after an excellent dream that consisted of me running barefoot in some kind of crazy marathon and the first thing i thought about was... 


Today... I RUN


Pretty brazen huh?


Very decisive as well


I'm decisive in a lot of places in my life


Like how the brick i like is WAY better then the brick BF likes for the new house


However...


*Deep sigh here*


I am not that decisive when it comes to restaurant menus


That was the understatement of the year


I always ask to order last


And i inevitably want what someone else gets


But this morning


This morning I was decisive


And i went for a run


I'm hoping you will Travel with me Tuesday with me on my run


Get it?  


This is me trying to get out of not having more Aruba pictures edited so this is how i'm filling in my Tuesday Travel post


I'm sneaky like that


Sneaky AND Indecisive at restaurants if you are keeping track


And if you have followed the blog long enough you know i have a small head as well


Now we are all caught up, lets get started!

The running adventures of Donna & Sydney


Fun shadow shot at the start of the run
Tight leash = squirrel spotting, one of these days she will pull my arm out of the socket, if she ever ACTUALLY caught a squirrel i guarantee you she would ask it for a tummy rub
Why does this path seem never ending? Ohhh anyone like that movie Never Ending Story?  I did not like it, that dog dragon thing scared the bejesus out of me!
Lets have some fun, this was right before a bicyclist rode past me and i dropped the phone in fright


If you want the best case every BUY this, i drop my phone at LEAST once a day!

YAY park, almost home!
This is the doodles "you are the worst mum ever for making me run THAT far mummy" pose
I love love love when she sits like this, she looks like a little person
Close up: this is her i just rolled in grass but i still look cute face
Stretch, admire cute lululemon pants
Officially thank your running partner
Hydrate on the deck while worshipping the sun, where have you been all spring mr. sun?
Realize you should have hydrated WAY more and decide this $5 cup of caffeine is the only way to feel better , sometimes you have to take one for the team, errr thats my excuse, i just really love skinny caramel machiattos :o)
Reward yourself with Winners goodies, its TOTALLY necessary in the post run  recovery!

So since BF decided he wanted more Vegan food (yay progress) i decided to make a recipe that has been all over the blog world lately
This is my spin


Cheezy Creamy Vegan Sauce
Adapted from Peas and Thank You

1/4 cup of Cashews
1/3 cup of Water
1 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp of Garlic
1/2 tsp of Salt
1/4 cup of Canola Oil
Juice of One Lemon
2 tsp curry paste
1/4 cup of Nutritional Yeast








Directions
1. Blend, this is like a smoothie recipe huh? Blend blend blend and anticipate the amazingness that is this sauce!
I get lazy and sometimes i do this, shhhhh don't tell BF!
Pre-sauce, this is brown rice, steamed veggies and extra firm tofu brushed with curry paste and broiled
Action shot ala Katie of Real Food Katies Way 


Oh so freaking yummy
This is me stepping back and admiring - right before i INHALED it! Sooooo yummy, even got the BF's stamp of approval as well

I hear ya! I was very headstrong about my run today, but I usually order last too... even if I've been to the restaurant on multiple occasions. Yeah, it's pitiful. It's my first trip to your blog though - good stuff! :)

YAY for your run Tiff and i even look up menus online first and still can't decide!
Thanks for visiting the blog, i appreciate it :o)
I wish I woke up with the desire to run. I don't know if I have ever experienced that. I only like to run when I'm angry. :)

This was my first ever running dream so i thought i would take advantage, i certainly didn't glide the way i did in my dream, i kind of chugged along, lol :o)
Angry running is great, i agree!
Totally have a run planned this afternoon. Unfortunately I have put off running for far too long. I am going to start the C25K today just to give me a jump start back into running.

I am planning to try that sauce this week :)

What is the C25K Helen? Hope you had a great run!
Let me know what you think of the sauce :o)
I love that you rocked an awesome action shot!!

Isn't it an awesome feeling knowing that the only thing you want in the world is to RUN??

HOORAY for Winners stuff!! The gourmet food aisle at Homesense is where you will find me...I just bought vanilla extract from there too...I said to Jeff, if I ever lose my job I am going to work at Homesense/Winners.

You were totally my inspiration for the action shots :o)
Homesense is 30 minutes away and Winners is 10 so i get there a lot more but i'm obsesed with both of them, i've been avoiding Homesense since we want sooo much stuff for the new house that i know if i go in i will spend a TON - must hold back but reading about you going ALL the time makes me want to go more, hahahaaaa!
It's seriously an addiction....All the money we COULD be saving we are SPENDING are Homesense!! Grrr! ;)
I love the title of your post...although you definitely could have used "Fitsteps" here ;)

That vegan sauce looks amazing!

Every time i read the title Natalie I would think to myself fitsteps because i've been totally loving and catching up on your blog, lol!
Haha! Love the pic of the blender propped up against the wall! That is SO me!
