Ben loves to tell the joke, Q: "Where did the General keep his armies?" A: "In his sleevies" Well, I forgot my "sleevies" on the wedding day! For those who are new readers, I had my dress custom made at a local dress shop. After trying on a lot of dresses I didn't find one that was, "The One". ... Read More about Wedding Sleeves

Here's the plan…
I've decided to use the Runner's World Marathon Challenge training plan for the Marine Corps. I haven't had any time to read Run Less and really want to do that program right if I'm gonna give it a shot. Today is Day 1 of training and it called for an Easy 4. After I was done I had a naner with PB ... Read More about Here's the plan…
Wedding Menu
I did not get many pictures on my camera at the wedding, but I did manage to capture my food! It's almost sad that I took pics of my food at the wedding, kind of like I was "working" since the b.l.o.g is my part time gig, but it did not take away from all the fun :) When it comes to wedding ...

Busy
Busy, doesn't even begin to describe it. I have been non-stop since this weekend which is why I'm a bag blogger. I'm sorry! I feel sorry for me too, because I really enjoy the b.l.o.g. My stress and busy-ness has taken a toll on my eating. So, I haven't wanted to post my eats because they are a bad ... Read More about Busy
Wedding Makeover
In about 5 days I am going to marry this lumberjack looking guy... But, before we say our "I dos" I suggested he clean it up a bit. This was his first time ever getting a professional hair cut! He had always had his mom do it or just buzzed it himself! I think he was nervous when he got in the ... Read More about Wedding Makeover
Fancy OC
Let's get one thing straight - I'm not from the OC. I'm from Pico, and that makes me chill as shit. But, Ben lives in the OC, which means sometimes I kinda do too :) He recently moved to a new place and this morning was my first run around this new area of the OC. I found an awesome trail that ...

How ya feeling?
I'm not feeling so great because I've been eating a ton of crap - processed foods, too much sugar, too many empty carbs... Since losing weight is sort of on the back burner right now (orders of the RD)Â my priority is feeling good. Well, too many processed, empty calories are making me feel bad. I'm ...

Positive Affirmations
I love listening to the Intuitive Eating CDs. Today they talked about switching some of the things you tell yourself with more positive thoughts. One of them was: Old thought: "I need a diet and specific meal plan to lose weight" New thought: "I know my body will return to it's best weight if I ... Read More about Positive Affirmations

By Cereal I Mean Cookies
I had to pick up a few things from TJ"s after work. I have been eyeing this cereal for a while now. But didn't want to get it because the nutritional info is not too good - Very high in calories for 3/4c serving. Who eats 3/4c cereal? Not this girl! I caved and bought it to try. I had a few ... Read More about By Cereal I Mean Cookies
Four dollar hummus
After a whole week off it's hard to get back into the swing of things. I got up early and ran 6 miles with a few hill repeats. Actually, it didn't feel too early since I was on Eastern time when I left FL yesterday. I was about to make oatmeal since I hadn't had it in so long when I realized that I ...
