I have to say how great it is to be back into blogging again! I’m currently studying for some personal training exams, so I won’t be on my computer a lot in the next couple weeks…however, just starting to blog regularly again is wonderful. Once I get a couple important life goals done in the next couple months, there will be some exciting changes here! I have honestly missed regularly connecting with you all.<\/p>\n

So today there are 7 Colourful Things I’m thankful for and Number 1 is you<\/strong>! Thanks for sticking through all of this with me!<\/p>\n

\"Full<\/p>\n

2. Evening walks<\/strong> – I have started regularly going on evening walks. When the day is full and crazy, it’s just a very peaceful way to end the day to pray, think, or just get some gentle exercise. I love being where people are, so I often go to a local park. I usually bump into someone I know, which make it all the better. People are my jam.<\/p>\n

\"Laughin<\/p>\n

3. Laughing Cow Cheese<\/strong> – Dreamy, creamy and ridiculously delicious. It’s one of the staples that is always in my fridge. The Queso Fresco and Chipotle is my favourite! Whatever your snacking style or current craving, I feel like Laughing Cow<\/a> works for everything. If I’m craving something sweet, the Creamy Swiss is delcious with fresh cherries or raspberries for a low calorie dessert. Or, if I’m feeling salty and savoury, I like the cheese on little wholegrain crackers. I also really like the cheese rolled up on tortillas or sandwhiches for lunch. Hello yum. (Disclosure: Laughing Cow allowed me to try their cheese for free, but I would buy it anyway AND I was not paid for these cheesy, but loving thoughts of mine.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\"Sister<\/p>\n

4. My sister<\/strong> – This girl will always be on my favourite list…but after my graduation we got to spend the weekend together, so that was special…and I can’t wait to spend more time with this beauty queen!<\/p>\n

\"Runners<\/p>\n

5. Running for Beginners Book<\/strong> – Runners World sent me this book<\/a> to read and I’m excited…because I’ve gotten out of running because, bluntly put, I was bored of it. While I’m not going to get all crazy and run like I used to (check out my full marathon post!), I think it’ll be fun to read and try a new program, or some new tips. I’m a huge fan or Runner’s World and all their books. Always a fabulous source of quality information.<\/p>\n

Also, you might’ve noticed me doing more book photos on my Instagram<\/a>…if you want to see what great reads I’m digging, check out my new hashtag #colourfulreads!<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/p>\n

6. Low Carb Tortillas and Salads<\/strong> – My perfect lunch. I get tired of the same foods all the time (except for a few favourites!) and am constantly rotating foods in my fridge…but currently, this is a lunch I still am digging! For me, I love a simple salad especially with a good oil and some gourmet sea salt. I really want to try some new oils lately…and this Macadamia Oil<\/a> caught my eye (actually the whole health webstore<\/a> did…all my favourite superfoods on there!). I feel like fresh, unique oils are what make a salad gourmet and extravagant, yet simplistically divine! For the tortilla, all you do is stick some cheese and veggies in a low carb wrap, fold, heat, slice, and serve with greek yogurt and salsa…and waaaala! Deliciousness everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"1250\"<\/p>\n

7. Doodling<\/strong> – It’s a habit and I like it. And this quote…is exactly how my life is right now. Full and tiring, but happy. I think maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n

What are a couple things you’re thankful for and bring colour into your week?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Disclosure: Sometimes with my 7 Colourful Things feature, there will be free product or sponsorship to try a product or refer to a great site. However, I only post about things I like or am interested in. These sponsored posts keep me doing what I love…blogging…recipe creating…and also allow me to go grocery shopping and buy salad greens…because I like kale.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
