It’s still winter, but there are signs of spring popping up all around. It’s encouraging. I am looking forward to the sun rising a little earlier too. Please make it happen soon.
Fathead
Fathead pizza isn’t for everybody. Made with primarily almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and an egg, this pizza dough is perfect for those who are carb conscious. No spiking your glucose/insulin levels with this — unless, of course, you add a butt load of carbohydrate rich toppings.
It is shown here with Rao’s marinara and some pepperoni. The crust crisped up nicely in my toaster oven. I was delish.
sidewalks and bike lanes
A cyclist was hit by a car and lost their life very close to this spot. I am not 100% sure but I believe it was a student on their way to school. It happened several years ago.
The city just recently completed the installation of a protected bike lane and a side walk for the pedestrians traveling on this side of street.
Change takes time, I guess.
Obstacles IRL
Last week, I decided to do another Spartan Race. My training hasn’t quite kicked into high gear yet. It seems that my training obstacles are those of everyday life (work, family, illness). For now, I cruise along in low gear and look for motivation anywhere that I can find it. Today, it was this tire on the football field. I couldn’t even budge it a teeny-tiny bit. But I tried a few times.
in search of a new way of seeing
It’s been an interesting week. While I wrestle with criticism on my newest venture, I celebrate finally being recognized for my efforts at the office. The latter feels good and I don’t mind quite as much when my workload carries me past the usual quitting time.
Today, I take a break from it all to walk at lunch — with camera in hand. I’m not here to run but I end up on the track anyway. I am sure the young men on the football field wondered what I was doing kneeling on the track. I didn’t quite get the image I was after, but it sure was fun to seek out new ways of looking at the everyday experience.
Perhaps it will help me to look at my criticism in a different way and turn it into something positive.
