Eat What You Love

by runeatrepeat on July 27, 2010

This morning I did what I love and started the day with a run. I’ve decided I like to run 5 days a week and since I can’t do KB right now anyways, will start adding more easy runs to the mix.

This mornings 4 miles were even more fun because Susan joined me! I love running with her. Do what you love, right :)

Since I’m back on the Intuitive Eating wagon I’ve decided to Eat What I Love without guilt or apologies (not that I’ve ever apologized before, but you get what I mean).

I love granola. More specifically, I love good granola. Not that dry “light” granola that just tastes like crunchy oatmeal. I love granola with nuts and dried fruit and honey. I hate that I love it, but I do.

This morning I made a yogurt parfait in a half way full yogurt container.

Piled in: Yogurt, Blueberries, Granola Good Bear Naked Granola, PB Puffins. This was so good and satisfying. If I die of anything, it’s not going to be granola ;) It might be happiness though…IMG_9659

Wear what you love! I found this dress at Marshall’s this weekend and snapped it up. I am making a bigger effort to not look like a tragedy all the time. IMG_9664Note: that I still didn’t “do” my hair though :)   We don’t water the grass because So Cal is a desert anyways…

 Lunch – I packed up an amazing salad today. My mom made a fresh pot of beans (a staple around here) and I knew they’d make a great salad topping!IMG_9665

See, there’s some veggies under all those pinto beans and hummustard dressing!IMG_9668

I took my car into be serviced on Sunday and it turns out it needed new brakes too. Ouch. So, $800.00 and two days later I’ll be picking it up tonight. Ben and I are still looking for a new car, but aren’t sure how quickly we can get one since we’re moving in 2 weeks and don’t even have a bed or fridge.

Note to anyone moving across the country: You will basically hemorrhage money.

But, it you really want to move. You’ve got to do what you love…

Question: What do you love right now?

It can be anything at all :)

Me: Today I love…

Friendly strangers

granola

Concealer (darn pimples)

Today I love chocolate, and peanut butter. I’ve had long time affairs with both. We’re thinking of moving to Utah and marrying Big Love style.

Today I love vegan chicken patties. As a vegetarian, I don’t really miss “meat” exactly, but meat alternatives sure do make my tastebuds happy.

hahaha, i am usually a tragedy too. i started my new job as an outpatient therapist today and after my first session I looked in the mirror and my hair was ALL over the place. My clients must have been slightly concerned.

Great post!!!

Today I love the old man that brought me a chocolate bar while I was reading at Starbucks. Totally out of the blue, totally made my day, and totally satisfied my otherwise-suppressed appetite for chocolate. <3

Could you share your mom’s bean recipe? I agree that fresh beans OWN canned and would love to read about your mom’s process. Thanks!

What a cute dress!! It looks awesome on you.

Eating what you love is the best way to go about life! I do have issues with not feeling guilty after I do it though.

Today I am loving iced coffee :)

I need to make a bigger effort at not looking like a tragedy all the time too! I think if I could live in gym clothes, I’d be delighted. PS I love the term “funger” and I also love friendly strangers!
