I feel so much better after 8 1/2 hours of sleep! I woke up this morning and jumped out of bed. I was going to skip a run today in favor of some strength training, but I had way too much energy. I ended up running 4.5 miles and felt great the whole time! It must have been all that cereal carb-loading I did in the afternoon. Oops!
Note: I wasn’t in love with the Love Crunch granola. It’s good, but not great. However, I am in super crazy love with Cinnamon Sweets and to be sure it isn’t a fluke, ate 3 bowls yesterday. Plus many handfuls. It’s better than I can describe.
After my run I made a simple breakfast of bagel with PB and pumpkin butter and Pineapple Chobs with extra pineapple cottage cheese and chia seeds stirred in.
I still can’t believe I got these tulips from the 99 Cent store!
Question: Do you have a green thumb?
I totally didn’t think I did until I got these flowers! Ben and I have killed everything from plants to crabs to goldfish. It’s a miracle Vegas has made it this far…
Monica says
No green thumb, and my husband and I kill both plants and fish. It is sad, our friends have labeled my husband as the Grim Reaper of fish. We want a dog, but who knows what will happen. 😉
Lauren says
I’m sad you didn’t LOVE the Love Crunch granola. I like the chocolaty taste of it. Was totally tempted to buy several since they were on sale at WF.
My little sister wants to plant vegetables this weekend. We live in TX, and between my gardening skills, her 10 year old ways, and the heat, I can’t see it going well! Your tulips are really pretty though!!
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
that three sisters cereal is like crack. so is the honey grahams one. it’s just like golden grahams. to.die.for.
runeatrepeat says
I’m literally eating it right now…

a.w.e.s.o.m.e.
Cyndi @ Weightless Life says
If it’s a house plant I am guaranteed to kill it, but if it’s something outside I do a pretty good job. But, maybe that’s not actually my doing, it’s probably just nature.
Tracy @ Commit To Fit says
I would love to have a green thumb, but alas, it is black. I keep trying, though 🙂
Amber K says
I wish, but no, sadly no green thumb here. Mostly because I have zero patience for it and I really hate dirt. lol
Kianni says
It’s weird, my Grampa doesn’t like plants. The only plants we have are spikey (aloe, and cactus) or sour (lemon tree..which also has spikes). But anything he seems to water grows! Too bad the backyard is all dirt though.. One of my early memories is after I planted a seed mat and all the wildflowers grew, I remember leaving to school and seeing him pushing the lawn mower over ALL of them…no flowers when I got home )8<
When I seem to want plants to grow..they don't seem to grow. When I just randomly plant something feeling like it's gonna die or not sprout at all, they do! Eh, I don't know what you'd call that, hehe..
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
Thanks for the tip on using Spice Cake with Pumpkin!
I have the opposite of green thumb, black thumb? hahah I killed a bamboo in 1 week! ugh
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I’ve never planted anything, but I do have some seeds that I meant to plant last year… My sister is growing a lemon tree, and now I have lemons that I am going to make a cake with!
runeatrepeat says
When life gives you lemons, make Lemon Cake!
janetha @ meals and moves says
Fact: I have Cinnamon Sweets, Love Crunch AND Pineapple Chobani in my kitchen right now. We would be good roomies. And I was in fact in love with the Love Crunch. Not like Marshall is, though, he’s addicted!
runeatrepeat says
I knew you loved that Love Crunch – that was part of why I got it! At least your love of eggs was not lost on me – I’m obsessed 🙂
alicia says
um AGREED about the love crunch!! there was like maybe 5 berries and 3 pieces of chocolate in the whole box. so lame.
Lisa says
I have a total black thumb. I cannot keep anything alive (except my kitties)!
Kara says
I still can’t believe your 99cent store sells stuff like that. You would cry if you saw my dollar store 🙂
I will kill someone for 8.5 hours of sleep. Just kidding….kinda
Christina says
Three sisters is awesome! I actually had to stop buying it because I would eat wayyyy too much. Normally I’m all about the intuitive eating but when it comes to those little suckers it doesn’t matter if I’m hungry or not lol.
janae @hungryrunnergirl.com says
SO happy that you got a good nights sleep!! Yay for an awesome run…that is the best feeling in the world. Love the flowers. I kill every plant I touch!
CafeWorking says
We grew herbs on our back deck last year and all was going great… until we went out of town. Stop the mail? Check. Board the dog? Check. Water the plants? Oops:)
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
pretty flowers:)
Amanda says
I was able to get a full 8 hours of sleep last night too and it was absolutely WONDERFUL! I love how energized I feel! And I have a green thumb for plants outside…but my cat eats anything green that I bring inside..lol 🙂
Rose says
I have a green thumb for outdoor plants, but anything in a pot, I kill.
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I seem to kill all plants that enter my home. I follow the directions and they still die. 🙁
JW @ Wine Will Fix It says
Wow – now I want to rush out to the 99 cent store. I recently bought the herb garden plant from Trader Joe’s ($7) and the mint portion of that pot has been growing like crazy. I don’t typically cook with mint so I’m out of ideas on how to use it (other than the obvious mojito night).
runeatrepeat says
Now I want a mojito…
