Food Goals vs. Fitness Goals

I've started working on Goal # 71.

So far, I have made a yummy Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread that I pinned from Lovin' in the Oven

and yesterday I baked the Apple-Cream Cheese Bundt Cake pinned from the My Recipes website.

Both were super delicious and great for breakfast (Mr. Brick has been doing a job that requires him to leave at 4:30 am so I omitted the frosting on the apple cake so he could just grab a slice and go.)
If you have a kitchen scale and you're nerdy like me, I have all the gram weight measurements for the ingredients...in case you are interested. :-)

I think I better start making some of the recipes from my Healthy Foods pinboard, too or else my fitness goals will never happen.

103 Adventures in 1,003 Days...aka "101 Things in 1,001 Days" (I couldn't narrow it down to 101)

Found out about a project on the internet called the Day Zero Project and thought it would be a fun way to get off of, what I affectionately like to call, Someday Isle..."Someday I'll do this." "Someday I'll do that."
Most of us have been there, at one time or another: sitting in our Adirondack chairs with our list of dreams, looking off into the distance.

I'm hoping Project Zero helps me paddle out and explore some of the things on my adventure to-do list, learn a little about myself and share some fun with others. Won't you join me?
