This morning I had a 7 miler on the schedule, but since I just switched training plans and am not used to a mid-length run before a long run I did 6.
Truth is, I was not feeling very happy, peppy or “runny” today. I had a bad run in with the scale and a crazy week left me with an anxiety attack this morning.
The good news is I got my bad run out of the way for this week! I felt super slow, took walk breaks and got discouraged. But, I’m moving on to a great run tomorrow!!!
I was thisclose to making French Toast Friday, but went with waffles instead.
Topped with Pumpkin Crème on one, PB on the other. Everything doused in a healthy pour of syrup 
If you are in the OC area on Saturday come to our first Fitbloggin Local meet up! Bloggers and readers are invited to meet up 
You can go to our meet up page here for information. 
The Orange County group is under “Rancho Santa Margarita” but it’s really for all OC / LA peeps.
There will be fro-yo! 
Question: If you were a flavor of ice cream what would it be?
I think I would be Dulce de Leche, but I prefer Mint n’ Chip!
So I realize I’m a little late to the comment party on this one, but I just found your blog and you are too funny so I just HAD to catch up on your posts over my lunch break!
I absolutely love your comment that you got your “bad” run in and are onto a great one tomorrow – sometimes I think that way too, and it is absolutely true. Runners inevitably have the occasional bad run and I like to “get mine out of the way” when it’s not an important run! It’s also a good mantra to use to stay positive when you’re feeling like a bump on a log!
I would be coffee health frozen yogurt! We all have our days of bad runs and the best way to move on is forget about it and start new on your next run.
Whoa! That pumpkin creme looks so good! Did you make it? Buy it? I’m intrigued.
If I could be any kind of ice cream…cookie dough I think. It’s always a favorite.
I would be cookies & creme..yummy! I hate when run just go bad. Tomorrow is a new day though. 🙂
Peanut butter, for sure. Put a needle in me and I bleed peanut butter.
Cherry Garcia, cause I am so delicious! LMAO I am so ridiculous!
Just so ya know I would love to have your bad run! I am much worse! Tomorrow is another day
Hi Monica,
I just found your blog from Hungry Runner Girl and I am SO excited to find another blogger that has struggled with eating issues. I was also heavier when I was younger and did the whole binge/restrict thing until it drove me to craziness and finally therapy. I’m doing much better now but I still have my ups and downs. Can’t wait to continue to read about your progress!
You’re amazing!
Julia
Fro you sounds awesome! I’ve got family in town, but hopefully I’ll try to stop by! Thanks for organizing!
I’d probably be strawberry.. or plain vanilla with tons of mix-ins. Maybe peanut butter flavored….
Forget it . This is too hard.
Dont worry, i had a bad run in with the scale this morning too. The foruth of july was full of fun and calories. Yikes!
we’ll just have to take it one day at a time.
good luck feeling better!

So excited for the meetup, although I must confess this will be my third time eating froyo in a week. Maybe four if I break down and go tonight 🙂
never start a weekend with a weigh-in. those are for mondays. sort of like checking your bank account after a trip. just wait til monday, because mondays usually aren’t the best anyways… 🙂 just a tip.
Awww boo! I will be in Seattle this weekend. Have fun + TONS of froyo!
PS: I lol’d at the ‘bad run in with the scale’. I am not usually trying to lose weight yet scales still scare the crap outa me. For this reason, I don’t own one. I don’t need that a-hole taunting me every morning. 🙂
I had a bad run in with the scale too. I hate it!!! Completely random question, but how tall are you?
WHAT IS PUMPKIN CREME!?!?!?!??!?!
Great job on doing the run anyway and you look fab…regardless of what the evil scale says:)
You have more uses for pumpkin than anyone else I know. It looks so good!
Yay for endorphins! I would be Heaps of Love, for no other reason than it is the most delicious ice cream I have ever had in my life, and I refuse to pick anything else!

i’d be rocky road fo sho…but my fave is cake batter with mini chocolate chips from coldstones hhhmmhhhmhmhmhmhhmhm
Mint choc. chip all the way! Jealous of your meetup + froyo. There aren’t even enough people in my area to get a meet up together let alone go to a cool place with frozen yogurt!
I would soooo be mocha/cappuchino chip ice cream! There is nothing better than coffee and chocolate together (okay, well maybe chocolate and pb!)
Sometimes a run/some sort of heart-pumping exercise is what I need to get me out of a funk, so at least you did something productive!
I would probably double chocolate chunk. I’m such a white girl, but I seriously love chocolate so much I sweat I’m made of it.
how could you have a meet up when im not in town?! i thought the blog world ended when i left… weird.
How are you even reading this? I didn’t realize they had internet in Alaska…
Janae and I are gonna meet up and bring a pic of you so it’ll be like you’re there.
I live in Alaska. Using the internet, and electricity in general is a real pain because it causes all the ice to melt, and then we get electrocuted. 😛
I’d be strawberry…cause it’s packed with little dots (seeds) just like me (freckles) (:
chocolate chip cookie dough. because like me, the chunks are the best part!
okay, that was a bit of a stretch.
i’m telling myself i’ll do 6 miles on my lunch hour. i can tell its going to be a bad run. but i’m trying to get geared up for it…
