If you need me, I’ll be on top of my foam roller for the rest of the evening... Because my butt hurts people to look at. Ouch. I have a kNot in my butt. That’s what she said. ... Read More about kNot in My Butt

Bar Wars
Other titles for this post: The day Monica ate 4 granola bars in 10 minutes. In preparation for my new busy life I recently bought a ton of granola bars for snacks on the go. Only, I don’t eat them on the go. I eat them randomly between meals when I’m bored. But I digress… I’ve always been a big ... Read More about Bar Wars
My New Point and Shoot
I took back the camera I bought yesterday and am hoping this point and shoot will be a winner. It’s a Nikon CoolPix S4100. (The other one was a waterproof/shockproof kind but the picture quality was very bad.) In case you’re on the market for a new camera here is the research I did on this one: 1. ...

Fine, I’ll Make Dinner
Truthfully, I love veggie burgers and frozen meals. But, I don’t think they make for the best blogging material. So, today I busted out an old recipe – Not Fancy Salmon Patties Anytime I make fish I create a make-shift tartar sauce to go with it. Today’s included yogurt sauce, diced pickles and ...

The Hunger Emergency
I hit up Kickboxing this morning. I la-la-love KB, but I don’t like it when the instructor just flows through class assuming everyone knows the combinations. I don’t go to this class weekly and don’t have them memorized. If you’d just run through it ONCE I would catch on. Promise. Maybe it’s the ... Read More about The Hunger Emergency
Egg Cake in the Microwave
Hello from sunny rainy Southern California! The weather outside is tragic – what is up SoCal?! Luckily I don’t have to run today. I’m taking a KB class at 9:30am, so my day started with breakfast… I made a protein cake in a bowl instead of a mug to get it a little bigger. Then, I slathered it ...

What to Eat (or drink) While Running
I bonked on my run this weekend because I wasn’t properly fueled ( I forgot my Gus – it’s not because I don’t know better). Someone commented and asked if G2 was enough to drink on a long run and I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this topic in the past. What you should eat or drink on a run ...

Clif Bar Meet the Moment
Hello and Happy Monday! I started my day with a 6 mile run 53:24, no music felt like a 3 (out of 5) energy wise. Then, I had Ben take a sweaty picture of me. Ta-da! I couldn’t decide on breakfast and started to make an egg sandwich before going with a big bowl of pumpkin oatmeal with a side ... Read More about Clif Bar Meet the Moment
Since I’m Going to Die Anyways…
Have you guys heard the world is going to end May 21st? Yeah. Since that’s next weekend I’ve decided to just say “F it” and eat poison HFCS. When I spotted this at the store I considered talking myself out of it, but I couldn’t. Oh well. We all gotta go sometime next weekend. And since we’re all ...

French Fries and Tums
Ben and I headed to my mom’s to pick up Matt and have some fun yesterday. We stopped at a burger joint on the way there to grab lunch. Ben got a burger and I ate most of our MASSIVE order of fries. When I got to my mom’s I made a salad to go with my french fry main course. And found chocolate ... Read More about French Fries and Tums
No Gu No Go
I had an early long run planned for this morning so I set my alarm and tried to get out the door fast. Before I left I had PB toast and rustled around in my “running box” for some Gu. Well, I somehow managed to leave it behind and at mile 6 of my 12 miler realized I didn’t tuck it in my water ... Read More about No Gu No Go
Fiber Plus Bar Cereal
I went on a date with Ben tonight. We had sushi. and fro-yo. Apparently we hate variety. That, or love fro-yo. I think it’s the latter. This afternoon I chopped up a fiber one bar, put it in a big bowl with cereal and poured milk on it. I felt guilty about that. But, then I read this ... Read More about Fiber Plus Bar Cereal
Coaching Yourself
Hello Little Peeps How’s your day? (Side note: There is nothing cuter than calling my mom and my little bro answering and asking “Howz your day?”) After my boot camp class I came home craving a Lean Cuisine. Random right. Well, that’s how I roll. I bulked it up with tons of veggies because I ... Read More about Coaching Yourself
Late For Flapjack Friday
I’m late for work, so let’s make this quick! I started off my day with some Friday Flapjacks I used my Sweet Potato Pancakes recipe, but used pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes. I also sprinkled chia seeds right on them while they were in the pan. I’m going to try and hit up Boot Camp at the gym ... Read More about Late For Flapjack Friday
Walking Coach
I was craving meatloaf yesterday and randomly made turkey meatloaf cups today. I don’t know who I am these days. Hopefully, I’ll figure it out soon. Oh wait, I’m Monica – the girl who eats cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner dessert. Glad we got that settled. I was a slacker coach today because ... Read More about Walking Coach
