Lots of soccer today!! My Jawbone says I covered 21,188 steps in 10.05 miles. I don’t think that’s a record, but it’s one of my highest days! Definitely feelin’ the burn.
Breakfast with my sweet!
We had raspberry swirl French toast with a little extra scrambled egg, cooked banana and pear slices. Fuel for game #1!
Game #1 was on turf. I always wear my rain boots to games because the grass fields have lots of mud plus they are so easy to slip on and off.
Game #1 (my co-rec game) wasn’t the greatest. The team we played was waaaaayyy better than Division 3. However, despite the loss, we pulled off a really strong game.
I had a 2 hour break before my women’s league game later. I debated whether or not to shower but eventually decided on a rinse off (didn’t wash my hair). Otherwise I don’t think I could have sat on our furniture! Also debated what to have for lunch. Can’t do vegetables before a game, so I settled on a nice PB&J.
Plus a glass of milk for easy-to-digest protein!
Game #2 was on grass : )
We lost this game too, but it was a much better match. They had a few lucky goals! I had a few breakaways before getting a ball kicked right to my mouth. The force knocked my head back and made my neck crack! Yikes!! I felt fine, but it was scary and left me with a little headache. I’m nervous what my neck is going to feel like tomorrow.
Back at home we had Blue Apron’s Lamb + Beef Tagine for dinner. This may have been my favorite Blue Apron dinner to date! I’m partnering with them for an upcoming post and will be showcasing a recipe in detail then.
Just caught up on the newest Survivor! Who’s your favorite player? My friend Ellen has mutual friends with Shirin so we’re rooting for her! She’s hilarious too, and her love for Survivor is the best.

Every third pic is an ad. Very distracting and messes with the flow!
On a lighter note, the pb&j looks delish and the weather looks awesome. Have a happy Monday!

We are still waiting on a tool to change the ad positions
Kate says
Kath, the ads on my iPhone make it impossible to read your posts. Is this going to change? I wish I could show you the “family itch cream” right under your soccer picture. On the phone, you really can’t tell the difference between the post and the ad. It’s so distracting.
KathEats says
It is going to change but I’m waiting on my ad manager to get a new tool to edit them. It could be a week or so.
Micki says
Is it possible to add a feature so I can switch from mobile view to desktop view in the meantime? There’s even ads in the comments and it’s not only super distracting but frustrating to see Betty Crocker ads every single time I scroll down the page. Or, if it’s going to take some time to fix, maybe revert back to the old format so you can work the kinks out before its public again? Just a few ideas,
KathEats says
You should be able to check “request desktop site” in your mobile browser to revert back. I know it’s not ideal to do, but it will be a temporary fix until we can get the ads sorted out.
Kate says
Bummer. The iPhone 5 safari browser does not have the option to switch to desktop mode. Usually it is at the top or bottom of the mobile site. Also, the scrolling seems endless, and just continues to load post after post, so I don’t think there is a footer to the mobile site? No matter where I am on the page, if I scroll too fast, the grey menu pops up. I know you’re probably exhausted reading all these negatives, and I’m not trying to get ya down. I’m just disappointed that I can no longer read this blog at all on my phone.
Micki says
This is exactly what I’m seeing too. I can’t switch to the desktop version 🙁 Aldo, since I commentsd this morning, there’s been a change. I’m now seeing two ADs every paragraph now, not just one. Did something change behind-the-scenes since then? Just an FYI. Like I said previously, it’s frustrating. I’m a long time KERF reader (maybe 5-6 years?) and this is a big enough hurdle to reading that it makes me want to avoid the blog altogether till this is sorted out 🙁
KathEats says
I haven’t changed anything since the launch. The program is a standard ad program without the ability to change them -yet. I have been told by the end of this week they will be able to edit where ads are placed and we’ll be able to eliminate a lot of them. Right now it’s one size fits all. I’m sorry you are so frustrated with it. I’ve also asked my ad manager for a “request desktop” button
Emily says
Woah! 10 miles? You are the essence of an active mama. :))) I want to be like you when I’m a mom.
Linda @ The Fitty says
You had lots of soccer, I had lots of running(for me) yesterday! 🙂 I have a fitbit surge but I’m looking for an even better, more advanced running watch; any suggestions?
[email protected] says
That tagine looks truly beautiful! Can’t wait for the recipe!
Elyse says
I always admire how you stay active!
Hannah @ eat, drink and save money says
Can’t wait for the Blue Apron post! The meal looks so good!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I love that you play soccer – I was never good at sports growing up but I wish I had something fun like that to play outdoors!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
Ah so scary about getting hit with the ball! hopefully your neck is feeling okay today 🙂
Jen says
Your post make me want to have a nice gooey PB sandwich. I had been trying Paleo for about a year (unsuccessful might I add) and PB sandwiches always made me want to change my mind. It was a sad situation and I am glad that I add grains back into my diet.
KathEats says
Girl go eat that sandwich! Lol
Erin says
That’s so funny about your connection to Shirin! I know Max! 🙂
KathEats says
Oh cool! Loved him!
joelle (on a pink typewriter) says
LOVE the light in your photos! So lovely… you should do a photography tips post one day. 🙂
Kim Keil says
I have been thinking about joining a sport for the spring. How do you handle child are for games/practices? That is definitely my biggest concern 🙁
KathEats says
Our games are on Sundays so M&M have bro-dates during the game. Sometimes they come watch!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
So many yummy eats!
