Links to a Healthy Weekend Is Back!!

November 21, 2009

Well, hello there! It has been a long time since my last edition of Links to a Healthy Weekend, but I’m back and ready to start sharing the great things I read once again.
Things here are going great! Of course, we’ve been running around like crazy since my plane landed from San Francisco a week ago last Monday, but now we both have vehicles, our desktop is up and running, there are pots and pans to cook in, a kitchen table to eat at, and a TV watch.
Our apartment has an excellent gym so it is making getting back into my regular workout routine very easy. I’m especially glad to be back to weight training. I’m determined to get off some pounds I’ve gained over the past two years and during our recent trip and I’m happy to say I’m down 4 lbs since I’ve been back.
Several months ago I mentioned an ebook I was working on. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the link on my left sidebar, but the ebook I coauthored for Charity Mile is now available! If you are ever involved in planning a charity run/walk event or know someone who is, this guide is designed to help. I am so happy to be a part of it!
To top off all that good news, as you read this I am on my way to Las Vegas for our annual trip. We’ll be spending a few days there before we head to our hometown to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. I’ve got some posts lined up for next week though and I’ll be checking in.

How are things going for you this holiday season?

On to the links…

SJ Gourmet has me thinking about all things holiday-related with Cream Cheese Cake with Cranberry Chambord Sauce. Not only does that combination sound wonderful, but the picture of the individual cake is beautiful!
ayurveda on my plate has a post about making your own coconut oil. Yes, I said making your own! I never would have considered doing something like that, but this step-by-step guide makes it look doable. Sangeeta was nice enough to link to my post about coconut oil from a while back as well as listing a multitude of uses for coconut oil that I was unaware of. Be sure to check it out!
Trend Central had an informative article about what is new in the world of community-supported agriculture from Frozen Produce CSAs to Alcohol CSAs.
Science Daily recently reported on findings which show that how fish is cooked affects heart-health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
Charity Mile, the site I blog and wrote the ebook for, is looking for guest bloggers. If you’ve participated in an athletic fundraising event for charity or have an interest in them check out the guidelines and consider doing a guest post.

    Congrats on the e-book and the more frequent gym visits. My gym isn’t too far, but now that its getting colder I dread the walk back home. I miss my SF apartment that had a gym in it! Though since I have been at work full-time I’ve found that I’ve lost a few lbs. Moving around more and just not enough time to indulge myself with treats! I’m sure I’ll be making up for it though with my Christmas trip back home – already dreaming of mom’s cooking.

    My cousin is a runner and running her first full marathon in a few months so I will let her know about your book.

    I was a little afraid when you got back you’d stray from blogging – so glad that’s not the case!

    Glad to hear things are going well and hope you enjoy your Vegas trip and Thanksgiving. Holiday season hasn’t really kicked in for us here yet, but Christmas will be upon us before too long, with all of the food that entails!
