Good morning / afternoon / evening / middle of of the night! I have a bunch of great so-so life hacks to share with you today! Are you ready? They’re all based on my lil weekend… so here we go…
How to get ready for a long run:
drink iced coffee, eat a few frozen waffles, slather on sunblock and let your cat judge you:
How to know you’re running in Orange County:
palm trees and Teslas speeding past you.
How to survive a 15 mile run alone:
listen to an audio book. Then, switch it to music for the last 5 miles.
How to dress for your dad’s birthday dinner at which you know you’ll eat a lot:
StitchFix top that ‘s super comfy and doesn’t require you to suck it in.
How to enjoy a Lucille’s biscuit:
with honey butter.
How to enjoy dinner out with a 2 year old :
Nope. I don’t have one for this, she was all over the place even though I brought her coloring books and stamps.
How to count calories at Lucille’s :
Guesstimate 3,000 for one meal and let it go.
How to wish your dad Happy Birthday!!!
How to eat a cupcake:
How to save $10.00 on the OC marathon:
Use code MONICA10OFF
* Please say you heard about the race from Monica Olivas in the brand ambassador drop down question when you register. Thank you!
I baked toffee doodle cookies! They are so good!!!!
Oh my gosh. You are lathering on sun block when in Chicago it’s -4 with a real feel of -20 *cries frozen tears* Anyways, since it’s so cold we stayed in and I won $100 at a blackjack table at the casino!
Turkey burger sliders with cheddar cheese on little pretzel buns. Delicious and cute! Those were accompanied by a basket of homemade potato chips. Yummers!
Best thing I did this weekend was go to a baby shower in Manhattan – it was in a penthouse with amazing views and tons of champagne!
Best thing I ate was doughnuts at the party. I’m super healthy this weekend.
Best thing I ate all weekend: Taco soup!!!
Best thing I did all weekend: Work out. I’m working towards 100# bench press and I can’t seem to get close. Tonight I did 3 reps at 95#, which is one more than last week. Small progress, but progress none the lest. Second best thing I did is walk like crazy. I’m about to head out for a 5 mile walk.
YES! Why have I never thought to eat a cupcake like this before?!
Best thing I ate: om bar chocolate buttons (need a bigger packet! )
Best thing I did: a frosty run catching the sunrise over the Thames. Best endorphin booster!
No need for sunblock here in Northern Ireland, just a few layers, hat and gloves. You are so lucky where you live…
And I think we have the same watch 🙂
genius cupcake-eating strategy! this weekend i became a certified bodycombat instructor, so i’m pretty stoked about that.
I had my work holiday party last night. It was a lot of fun!
Before that we finally finished car shopping for my daughter. She got the car she wanted and I no longer have to spend my time car shopping. Win, win!
