I'm Nothing If Not Consistent + A Fruitful Recipe

Well, I hate to be redundant, but I started my day off with a 3.15 mile walk.  I'm nothing if not consistent.  Earlier this afternoon, I was thinking that today's walk was 3.15 miles ... a smidge longer than a 5K race.  I can do the distance. I just can't do the running part.

And my first mile is always the slowest.  I think it's because it takes a mile for me to really wake up and get my body moving.  Then the second mile I'm just on cruise control and walk at a nice happy pace.  Then the third mile is where I have to hurry up and walk fast so that I can get home on time. My numbers definitely show it, too.

The other night, I made a peanut butter yogurt dip to go with my fruit.  It's just three simple ingredients, but I thought it was really tasty.

Fruit Dip

8 oz plain greek yogurt

3 Tbsp natural peanut butter

3 Tbsp honey

Combine ingredients and mix well.

This recipe made a thick dip and it's perfect with apples, bananas, pears, etc.  You could thin it out with a little milk if you'd like.  YUM.

Have you ever run a 5K race?  That's on my bucket list.

What do you like on your fruit?

Healthy Eats: Fruit Bowl

Can we just talk about breakfast for a minute?  Let me start by saying that I've been loving my breakfasts lately.

I recently started a new job where I work from home and it has allowed me more time in the mornings to fix breakfast.  I used to be a grab-and-go breakfast bar kind of girl.  Not going to lie - I used to sit on the couch with my smartphone in hand and peruse all the news apps while I ate my breakfast every morning before rushing off to the office.

Now that I have more time, I like to fix myself a fresh fruit bowl.  My current crush is red and green apples, fresh strawberries, pineapple chunks, cantaloupe, and grapes.

I top my fruit bowl with a cream cheese fruit dip.  I tried to make my own fruit dip with yogurt and light cream cheese and some cinnamon, but it was not my favorite.  I plan to try a different recipe soon, but for now I've been using the Marzetti Cream Cheese Fruit Dip.  It's 70 calories for 2 Tbsp.  I'll take that!

What do you eat for breakfast?
