Does anyone else ever wonder why running magazines seem to focus so much on weight loss?
Sure, some people might pick up running in order to lose weight… but wouldn’t they read fitness magazines if looking for weight-loss tips? I would’ve thought people interested in running magazines would be those who love the sport of running and want to know all about its history, lore, and famous faces (i.e. stories of the star athletes involved), as well as ways to properly fuel for peak performance, not weight loss.
Just my 2 cents. I still love the magazine.

And one more foodie “currently”:
Speaking of dessert, you’re going to see a lot more of it in the next few days. Coming atcha tomorrow is a new chocolate-cake recipe. And after that: a milkshake (which may or may not have something to do with cake batter).
Question of the Day:
What are your “currently”s?
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
It’s sort of annoying how much magazines still focus on weight loss after this time last year they were starting to make the shift to living healthy..and then it’s like they lost focus and were like “nvm, weight loss is more controversial”..and therefor more interesting for a lot of people I guess..
My big currently: procrastinating! 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL! I guess that’s my “always” 🙂
megan @ the oatmeal diaries says
Currently loving your raw snickerdoodles, obviously!! And I like that magazine too but you’re right, every other article seems to mention weight loss. They should make a magazine specifically for running to lose weight and people can just buy that!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
All magazines seem to focus on weight loss…from running to women’s health to fashion. It’s so old and played out. But apparently it’s what sells. They wouldnt keep printing it if ppl didnt keep buying them. Sad but true.
Currently loving the dessert pizzert w/ sprinkles! YUM! And the other great looking eats here.
And also the mid 70s and sunny weather here in CA. That’s what I’m loving 🙂

Re: “Currently”
I tried quinoa for the first time yesterday. I’m going to eat it for dinner again, tonight.
Almost any recipe which tastes good with rice would probably also taste good with quinoa replacing the rice.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I keep meaning to try it in an oatmeal recipe! 🙂
Eric Jaffa says
The quinoa I had for dinner tonight had a dryness which caused me to add a tbsp of vegetable oil while I was eating it, which I don’t usually do during a meal. Then the quinoa tasted good.
But in an oatmeal recipe which has soymilk, the soymilk would counter the dryness.
Eric Jaffa says
I meant that if instead of eating a bowl of oatmeal with soymilk, one were to eat a bowl of quinoa with soymilk, then the dry-quality of quinoa would be balanced.
I wasn’t referring to cake recipes.
BroccoliHut says
Currently obsessing over sea vegetable salad–had some at a funky veg cafe for lunch and can’t stop raving about how good it was! Also, currently reading Food Network Mag–shockingly, I’ve never read a single issue!
Alexa @ SimpleEats says
My currently’s: yoga pants, commenting on blogs, figuring out what I’m making for dinner tonight 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yoga pants! The comfort food of clothing :).

Chocolate-Covered Katie says

MegSmith @ Cooking.In.College says
You are so sweet and that baked oatmeal cake looks delicious! I am going to check out your cauliflower chicken nuggets right now 🙂
Tara says
Currently eating: popcorn, your christmas casserole (i’m posting pics tomorrow! I’ll link so you can see!)
Currently reading: Your blog, transcendentalist essays for english class, and copious amounts of books and articles on whaling for my research report.
Currently wishing: I bought dagoba chocolate. I had it in my hands, but I put it back because I need to deplete my already overflowing chocolate stash!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
lol next time, buy it. Then go home and deplete your chocolate stash very quickly (a difficult task, I know!) before introducing the dagoba into the house. Problem solved… except you’ll have a very low stash of chocolate after depleting it. That just means you’ll have to stock up again ;).
Christin@purplebirdblog says
I’m currently studying the nervous system for a huge test I have next week, and it’s frying my brain! 😀
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Blech. Sending good vibes your way!!
Veronica says

Jess@atasteofconfidence says
Currently reading blogs and watching Food Inc. yay spring break!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says

currently watching- How I Met Your Mother 🙂
I wonder too why runners’ magazines always focus on weight loss- I always thought that if you were serious enough to be running regularly, weight loss wouldn’t be the biggest issue to face. I guess everybody’s different! But it IS a big sell- some people do take up running to lose weight and then are converted to it for good because of how amazing it makes them feel 🙂 I was one of those people and now I focus on how long I run, and on running longer and harder- not on how many calories I burn each run. It’s a wonderful freedom!!

hi…you know. I have been recovering from very serious lung surgery. I am a runner, many marathons and races, but last few years just go for runs. I am into eating healthy, but sure love eating the good stuff..both food and desert. I came across your site and loved your blog comments about running. I am stressed beyond, and well probably have been since I started running. I do not clock the same miles of 7-8-10mile runs like I use to. I am just not as young and a divorce changes the amount of free time you have. Well, I am rambling, but just good to hear other normal people out there have similar thoughts…i do want to continue to run, but it remains questionable right now with my health issues. I love your desserts….can I order some!!!!
Oh, and to add to this all, boyfriend of over a year….issues and it saddens me because I hope we can make it together. oh…..thanks
