I know moderation is great and all, but deep down to the core of my soul I am not a person who thinks or does or lives in moderation. It’s not a good thing, but it’s who I am and I’ve come to learn how to fight against it sometimes and just go with it other times. Right now I cannot get enough of the following things in my life. I am obsessed with them and for right now at least moderation isn’t for this Monican…
1. Eggs. Every day I have them at some point either for breakfast, lunch or dinner – sometimes for all three.
2. Running. I skipped my rest day this week to run for my heart. I just needed time to zone out and breathe hard and sweat and listen to that Hot Line Bling. I was probably bad for my legs (they’re tired now) but good for my soul.
3. PUPPIES. I am obsessed with my parents’ dogs. I just feel like my heart bursts with happiness when they are trying to love me up.
Look how photogenic Bonnie and Clyde are today!
4. Eyeliner. Truthfully, I was just trying to even it out and it kept getting thicker this morning. It’s a little much for the day time, but chicks dig it.
5. Quest Bars. Every day.
Great Suit Watch of 2015: The suit I saw hanging on the path the other day is still there and now there’s a flower clipped on the sign! Someone commented on Instagram that it’s a movement to leave suits for homeless people? That’s a great cause but I don’t think it’s the best place to do that. Stay tuned for more.

Oh god I loooove Quest bars! They’re super expensive in the UK since theyr’e imported but I might treat myself to a box for christmas!
One thing I’m not good at in moderation is: coffee. Suuuuper sweet coffee. It’s becoming a problem!
This week I’m obsessed with Christmas cookies. No bueno. In a hoarder/I want to eat them all, alone, in a dark room with a glass of wine kind of way. Moderation is not my thing either!
Yes! Puppies and eyeliner are critical.
Thing I’m obsessed with this week (and actually all weeks) … Bread!! I love me some good, fresh bread and I can’t get enough of it. I went to my first bread-baking class this week and all I want to do is make/eat/share bread!
Eggs are a daily thing for me too. So easy to prepare and so tasty!
Puppies, quest bars and running, all things in life that should not be had in moderation!
Still obsessed with PB – don’t think I’ll never be!
you converted me to quest bars they are my go to pre long run fuel and vacation breakfast! my current obsession is decorating for christmas, the inside of my house is so festive i just cant even! i love christmas!!
I suck at moderation. I’m obsessed with baking and coffee this week. I want to try the holiday flat white!
Ever since you posted the recipe for pumpkin granola, I have not been able to get enough of it. So now that I’m out and I refuse to make more, I eat raisins like crazy. I bought Costco’s trail mix for my son for a snack before / after swimming (now that the season started) and he’s not crazy about all the nuts. So, being a smart mom, I bough m&m’s (peanut and plain), raisins and peanuts. I mixed them all in a gallon sized ziploc bag and said, “Hide these in your room because I will eat them all.” So, he puts a handful or so in a sandwich bag every day for practice. The problem is that when he gets out of practice, I want to eat what’s left over in the bag. “Hey, let me have a handful of your trail mix.” Okay, mom. Next thing, the bag is empty because I want to eat it all. It’s awful. The other thing I am obsessed with is Christmas music. I have it playing all the time and I get mad if someone turns it off. Dan Fogelberg’s Same Old Lang Syne came on tonight and I played it over and over on YouTube. I think my husband thinks I’m unhappy in our relationship because I love this song so much. Not true, just a nostalgic song that makes me happy.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with Starbucks new holiday spice flat white. It’s sooooo good. I do not do moderation well either, and sometimes I drink 2 per day.
