We currently have a grow-op in our basement- legal of course! He started a bunch of herbs from seed in November I think? He also wants to start a bunch of other stuff so he can plant it in May/June. It's awesome to have homegrown produce all summer!<br /><br />Our bananas are going brown quickly too. I am the same- don't like a mushy texture.<br /><br />Good job on the weightloss. I really have to watch what I eat now which is hard considering I have quite the appetite. Need to stop bringing sugary treats into the house that just tempt me!Nicole @ Haute Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567153986505971579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-58186876627797533372012-03-03T21:25:19.163-07:002012-03-03T21:25:19.163-07:00Hope your ankle is better soon!

Sugar snap peas are a favourite. We've also got raspberries, strawberries, cherries and apples. Can't stand freckled bananas, not even in smoothies - they end up in the freezer waiting for me to bake. Well done with your weightloss, keep up the good work!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15137409066872659859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-50022774788773410662012-03-03T18:08:38.378-07:002012-03-03T18:08:38.378-07:00For the bananas, I usually put them in the cupboar...For the bananas, I usually put them in the cupboard and take them apart from each other and they seem to last longer that way.

Anika LOVES them!<br /><br />I've been thinking about making a little mini herb garden on our balcony with Aria. I'll let you know how my 2 1/2 year old gardens... could be interesting.<br /><br />I was doing great losing my pregnancy weight and then some until we went away after Christmas and I totally got out of my routine. I haven't been running much and haven't been eating well either. Ugh, I've got to get back into it!ms.djinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596040404006094395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-21109492250901546512012-03-02T18:45:01.178-07:002012-03-02T18:45:01.178-07:00I am the same banana way and injury way too for th...I am the same banana way and injury way too for that matter - I did my first run in over a week today and hurt, but ran anyways. sigh.<br /><br />I love hard bananas no brown for me - likewise, they go to bread ;)Ali Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825324100108230608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-87993579629432911212012-03-02T17:16:45.804-07:002012-03-02T17:16:45.804-07:00great job on the weight loss!! i love to garden a...great job on the weight loss!! i love to garden and am hoping one day to do a little veggie garden out back...we get a ton of deer so it's always a battle with them, even though they're super cute.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348267958004053459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-5050286241940188212012-03-02T17:08:19.776-07:002012-03-02T17:08:19.776-07:00"fartlek" isn't made up - it's t..."fartlek" isn't made up - it's two Swedish words concatenated.

After my swim today I will head out for 10-12 mile run. It will be a test since I have a half marathon next week. If it doesn't go well, I will stop short and probably have to cancel the half.<br /><br />As for the bananas... I am like you. I like them yellow. I will eat them if they are just starting to show some brown spots. My wife uses the brown ones to make pancakes.<br /><br />I want to get on the weight loss wagon too. I think I can do better with running and biking if I lose about 15 pounds. Maybe I should post my weight on my blog and do weekly updates. That way I can shame myself into losing weight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-48168771956304004422012-03-02T09:25:49.856-07:002012-03-02T09:25:49.856-07:001.

I still don't think it is "made up" though. 3. Love strawberries. My husband has grown a small mound with cucumbers and tomatoes the last few years and the kids really got a kick out of it. 4. Have a brown banana on my counter now. Wonder if those "green bags" you see on TV work. 5. I haven't been gaining, but not losing either. Definitely need to clean up my diet to drop the last 7 that I had hoped to have off by April.
