I didn't post my goals for January, it has been a crazy month, and I have neglected myself as well as my followers. I apologize!

I originally found this recipe on Pinterest but I tweaked it quite a bit for my own preference and lack of some of the required ingredients. However they turned out scrumptious! One of my best quinoa recipes yet! It's even toddler approved! Ingredients 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup butter (I use I can't believe it's not butter) 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil 3 large eggs 1 cup raw sugar 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate morsels(personal choice) 1) Start by greasing an 8x8 baking dish and preheating oven at 350°. 2) Mix salt and flour, set aside. 3) Melt butter and olive oil on low heat. When melted mix in cocoa powder. After that is well mixed, set aside to cool for 10 minutes. 4) While chocolate cooks whip together the eggs, sugars, extract until nice and creamy.

My grandmother Jean has been battling cancer for a few years, and was placed in hospice this week. Heartbreak doesn't even begin to describe  what our family is enduring. This is one of the reasons I have not been very interactive lately. I ask for your continued prayers. As you all know I mentioned a big thing I have planned for this year, to honor this amazing woman and the impact she had on my life. As well as all of my other beloved family that I have lost over the years. I live in the sunny state of Florida..and it is only 160-170 miles wide depending on where you cross. I have decided that in December of 2013, I am going to walk coast to coast. From Daytona Beach, the place where I saw her last, to Fort Island. The walk is approximately 117 miles. My plan is still being tweaked but here is the main idea: I will start on Monday December 16, 2013 and be finished by Sunday December 23, 2013. I will walk 20-35 miles each day and complete the journey within 7 days. I will star...

I haven't exactly started my New Year off as healthy as I would have liked to, but life has got in the way. While I have kept my eating in check..I have slacked off when it comes to working out. I know it isn't doing to kill me or hinder all my hard work...it heard irritates me that I haven't been allowing myself that outlet. Exercise is my me time, and helps keep me from freaking out. Between a nasty head cold, my sister in law visiting from out of state, and my now very ill and ailing grandmother...some things take precedence. Not only have I been neglecting my fitness but you all as well. You must forgive me. I am back in the groove of things and since it is a Monday...i am resetting my goals. My biggest goal for this year is to do at least 3 miles a day, so that I reach a thousand miles by the end of the year. I am behind so I will be working double time to catch up. My next goal is to complete a half Marathon. I am so stoked about this! I have maxed out on 6 miles ...
