An Exercise in Cleaning
Ben and I both messed with camera #2 to try and figure out the perfect settings and touch screen we decided to just return it and go back to my old camera (but a new one).

Low Calorie Ice Cream
After work I went to the store for one thing – ice cream. (Of course, I walked out of the store with 6 things, but that’s not the point.) I was about to walk out with my usual and favorite mint n’ chip ice cream when this Artic Zero caught my eye. It is 150 calories for the entire pint of Mint ... Read More about Low Calorie Ice Cream
Traveling Aftermath
I loved my Café Rio burrito salad so much on Thursday that I re-created it today! I decided to get guacamole instead of my usual hummus today from Costco – this might be dangerous! My happiest day of the year = The day cherries go in season. Seriously. My inbox and my house are both in shambles. I ... Read More about Traveling Aftermath
8 Mile Run and Eating Eggs

The Most Important Thing
I totally crashed and burned after this afternoon’s Fitbloggin sessions. I went to my room during our short break and actually fell asleep for 15 minutes (totally unlike me).

Three Things Thursday–Excuses
It’s Three Things Thursday. Here are three excuses I have… 1. I drank a massive smoothie on the way to work. Note the sopping wet hair and lack of make-up. My excuse: I was on Mexican time running late (when in reality this is a daily look/occurrence). 2. Lunch involved MASSIVE amounts of Cheetos ... Read More about Three Things Thursday–Excuses
Lucky Number 7 Miles
I decided to pack before running this morning and that required fuel in the form of cereal. Ben is on a cereal phase for breakfast these days because I wouldn’t normally keep this much sugary cereal choices in the house otherwise. I think we’re going to have to cut back for my sake though… Then, I ... Read More about Lucky Number 7 Miles
