Need Ice Send Help
This morning I did a 5 mile tempo run of sorts. I didn’t have specific goals for my 3 tempo miles, just to keep them under 8:30. Done and done. After I got out of the shower I was super hungry and at an apple-banana while making this open face egg sandwich. One side with PB&J. We ran out of ... Read More about Need Ice Send Help
Carbs and Protein.
This afternoon I grabbed two random granola bars from my stash to snack on. I don’t think I was hungry as much as they tasted good. Oops. I worked from 5 to 8pm today and decided to eat an early dinner and have a big snack after. I ate “dinner” at 4pm. Yes, I have plans to move to Miami soon and ... Read More about Carbs and Protein.
Confession Wednesday– A Day Early
Normally I do confession posts on Thursday because I’m OCD about certain things and that is one of them. (Don’t worry about me being OCD about anything else though, my house is a mess, I have cat hair all over my clothes and forget birthdays like it’s my job.) Anyways, something is really really ...

Pump Up with Pumpkin
Morning! I tried to do a run this morning, but yesterday’s double run left my knee a bit tired. I like to be super cautious about that, so I walked instead. I’m going to do some abs and arms after my dentist appointment and am formally announcing it so I’ll stick to it! After my 3 mile walk I came ... Read More about Pump Up with Pumpkin
Cereal with a Side of Carbs
In keeping with my goal to eat protein-y snacks I made a protein cake in a mug for my afternoon snack. Yes, that is syrup on it. Yes, I’m going to Syrup’s Anonymous in the morning. Not really, “I just can’t quit you” <—me talking to syrup. Before my running group, I was hungry again and ... Read More about Cereal with a Side of Carbs

I don’t have any clients yet, but am doing assessments and orientations and stuff. After a quick post-work errand I rushed home to make lunch. I have been craving my ...

Can’t All Be Winners
Sorry friends, they can’t all be winners. This applies to so many things, don’t you think? Like, sometimes I have an amazing run. And today I had a crappy one… Sometimes RER is fun, and sometimes it’s tragic. Today’s run was not a winner. This post really isn’t either. But, you keep going back ...

Another Car Picture
My second protein-y snack of the day was a green monster on the go. Let’s see what we’ve got here: - Shark fin in my hair - Drinking and driving - Way too many self portraits taken in the car Check, check and check. If you're looking for Cummins Holset turbocharger in stock for your car, ... Read More about Another Car Picture
Cheese Me
I hit up a new-to-me exercise class this afternoon. It was a bust I guess I went at senior hour and was worried I was going to have to do CPR on one of my fellow exercisers at one point (even though it was a super low impact class). Yeah... Before I went I had an egg. See? A protein-y snack. This ... Read More about Cheese Me

10 miles and Lost Husband
This morning I woke up and did my pre-run rituals including toast with PB&J…I did my favorite easy route and made great time! My splits slowed down on the last few, but now I know. Ben picked me up from where I ended and we hit the store for a few things. I ate most of this container of fruit ... Read More about 10 miles and Lost Husband
Search Me Saturday
I meant to come home and exercise, but the day got the best of me and I opted to eat. Shocker not-so-much. I made a ridic salad… and also had a sandwich with it. A lot of food, but a lot of healthy food at least Happy mistake – I left my Vitamin water in the freezer too long. It ended up ... Read More about Search Me Saturday
Waking Up For Nothing
This morning my alarm went off at 5:40am. Boo. I drank a big ol’ iced coffee to ease the pain. I’m still dreaming here... I drove half asleep to meet my running group. Except today they weren’t running. Instead we had a clinic on lower body stretching. I’m not thrilled I woke up that early to NOT ... Read More about Waking Up For Nothing
I Like Big Drinks and I Cannot Lie
It was weird keeping track of my drinks yesterday. I genuinely had no idea how much I drank! In the end I calculated 3 water bottles full (mine is 48oz not 24 like most thought – but it’s hard to fill up to the top without spilling so I figured 44oz.), an iced coffee, 2 Vitamin waters, 2 seltzers ...
