Lately, I feel like all I do is work, eat and train. So is the life of a wannabe-half-ironman-er… I need to find something with a nicer ring.

My current favorite eat, tofu stir fry. Our Annie’s Organic shipments are keeping me from getting bored with the same old vegetables. They are always fresh and usually include something I would pass by at the grocery store. I think I’ve tried every type of kale on earth over the last few months.

I call this dish the Open Face Tofu Sandwich. A little teriyaki tofu with stir fry veggies over lettuce and bread. Filling and delish.

Since life doesn’t get put on hold for 18-weeks while I train like a maniac, I’ve had to get creative in my getting things done. This includes, but is not limited to, lunch break workouts, crack of dawn long runs, and my new favorite, reading on the trainer.

My girlfriends started a book club a couple of years ago and I’m notorious for being the book club slacker. I always buy the book with the best intentions of reading it, but seldom end up making it past the title page.

After another scolding at our last book club meeting I vowed to make it through this one. The group picked 50 Shades of Grey. After an hour and half on the bike trainer this morning I’m nearly halfway done. It’s certainly a page turner.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to take a picture on the trainer? Here is my best attempt.

This morning’s trainer sesh was followed promptly by a breakfast of champions.

I don’t think the peanut butter and banana combo will ever get old. At least, I sure hope it doesn’t.

Have you read 50 Shades of Grey? What did you think of it?
