Hey Everyone!! How was your week??  Stroke & Stride ended on Wednesday so summer must be coming to a close. I ended up winning my age group for the series!! YAY! Thursday I "ran" my longest run ever (32 miles) and then Saturday we moved out of the RV where we have been living the past 2 1/2 years and back into our house in Colorado. I'll be posing about that this week in my blog at www.FoodFitnessFinanceFun.com.

I am heading into my LONG RUNNING season doing a 50 miler AND 7 marathons in 7 states!! Here are the details on the  SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES I am offering for your biz or cause. 

I am  grateful for my friends and mentors who help me make the hard decisions daily!! I will say that once I make a decision, I feel AMAZING, regardless of the outcome. Deciding is a chore!! So as Jack Canfield says IF IT'S NOT A HELL YES, IT'S A HELL NO!!

Hope you are doing LOTS of things that you love this week!

Happy Hump Day!

See you next week!!

Kirsten :)

So I have never posted a dessert recipe. Mostly because I rarely eat sugar. If you want some super AMAZING recipes for desserts, I have a TON in our I HEART VEGAN RECIPES GROUP so you can grab some there. 

 

Here is one I have about once a month. Ice cream used to be a total comfort food (PROOF HERE) but now that I rarely eat sugar, my body doesn't like it very much. So when I do have it, my body yells at me and reminds me not to have it again...until I forget!!!

 

Anyhoo...here is my recipe...

 

I start with a non-dairy ice cream. There are quite a few out there now.

My faves are...

So Delicious Cashew Milk Ice Cream

So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Almond Dream Frozen Non-Dairy Dessert

 

Then I top it with my favorite toppings!! Simple as that!!

My faves are...

Natural Peanut Butter

Amys Chocolate Cake

Enjoy Life Vegan Choc Chunks

Or any other vegan treat I want to top it with!

When I am feeling KIND OF healthy I will pick fruit.

Strawberries and vegan whipped cream makes a great "strawberry shortcake".

 

Enjoy your SUGAR COMA and let me know YOUR fave toppings so I can pass them on!

 

ANY QUESTIONS???

 

So the past 10 days I have eaten perfectly, which by the way is some kind of record. By perfectly I mean I have generally stuck with my plan AND haven't over eaten even once! I do my grocery shopping on Monday, which was a week after my initial "perfect eating" and I found myself looking for a treat to reward myself for making it a whole week.

 

Some of you are thinking "nothing wrong with rewarding yourself for your hard work", but for me there is. It's a super slippery slope (say that 3 times fast). It's hard to explain with food for people who don't have food issues, so I like to compare it to an alcoholic who has been sober for a week. She decides to meet her friends at the bar as a reward for being sober a whole week.
