Friday 5

5 Friday Favorite Fashion Finds

April 15, 2016April 14, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 18 Comments

I might just be stretching the Friday 5 rules a wee bit today. I'm talking fashion again, obviously. My passion for fashion is almost as strong (stronger?) as my passion for running -- but nothing trumps my passion for chocolate! At least I snuck in some Skirtsports. And I wouldn't do that if I wasn't … Continue reading 5 Friday Favorite Fashion Finds

5 Favorite Postrun Snacks

April 8, 2016April 8, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

A while back nuts.com reached out to me to see if I was interested in doing a post on healthy snacking for runners. The first time was the wrong time -- it was the end of the year and I was just exhausted with everything going on with Chester. I kept thinking I should reply, but … Continue reading 5 Favorite Postrun Snacks

It Takes a Village to Raise a Runner

April 1, 2016April 1, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 35 Comments

It's true that some runners are lone wolves (I'm looking at you, Wendy!), but even those lone wolves tend to rely on more than just themselves to keep running. I came back from a long walk with Lola at the park and today's subject just popped into my mind. Seriously, very few runners get by … Continue reading It Takes a Village to Raise a Runner

5 Finds from Target

March 25, 2016March 24, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

The title may be 5 finds from Target, but the truth is I didn't buy any of these items, although I was tempted with a couple. And lest you think the only thing I do with my free time is shop, this particular visit was a month ago. I just never got around to sharing, … Continue reading 5 Finds from Target

5 Favorite Yoga DVDs

March 18, 2016March 18, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

I love yoga. I mostly practice at home with DVDs, although through the years I've taken classes, too, which I really enjoy -- but remember my number one complaint about running? Yeah, it's less time consuming for me to practice at home. It's favorites Friday from  Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, Courtney from Eat … Continue reading 5 Favorite Yoga DVDs

I have been busy in the kitchen lately and I've even come up with a few simple recipes that I've been enjoying again . . . and again . . . and again . . .

5 Reasons You Might Want a FitDesk Bike

March 4, 2016March 4, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

I had been saying I wanted an exercise bike for years, but 2016 was the year I wanted to make it happen. I didn't need a lot of features, I just wanted to get in some cross training (and have something to fall back on in case of injury). Enter the FitDesk Exercise Bike. (disclaimer: affiliate … Continue reading 5 Reasons You Might Want a FitDesk Bike

5 Reasons Weight Loss isn’t a Punishment

February 26, 2016February 25, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

It's a theme week here on Chocolaterunsjudy, and that theme, for the most part, is about weight loss/management. Most of you got to know me at my current weight, which is my goal weight (plus or minus a few pounds). You don't know the overweight Judy. The Judy who had a lot of black in … Continue reading 5 Reasons Weight Loss isn’t a Punishment

What I’m Loving Lately: Friday Five

February 19, 2016February 19, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 37 Comments

It's incredibly easy to focus on the negative (like I did for the weather in yesterday's TOLT), so for this Friday Five, I'm going to focus on the positive: favorite food, favorite clothes, favorite treadmill workout, favorite reads, and favorite blog posts from this week. Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, Courtney from Eat … Continue reading What I’m Loving Lately: Friday Five

5 Reasons I Love Mug Cakes

February 12, 2016February 11, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 31 Comments

I eat mug cakes for breakfast. I eat mug cakes for desserts. I eat mug cakes for snacks. I even eat mug cakes for lunch sometimes! Mug cakes had been around the Interwebs for a long, long time before I finally decided to try them (same with overnight oats in a finished nut butter jar, … Continue reading 5 Reasons I Love Mug Cakes
