We made it! It was a very long trip to get here, but we finally made. I forgot how rough red eye flights can be on your body. Even after running 20 miles Saturday morning I wasn’t able to completely knock out on the plane. But, I was semi-productive over the long layover in Miami. I worked on ...

Ben and I had dinner at my mom’s to celebrate his birthday before we left. They are also taking us to the airport so it worked out well :) Before we headed to my family we were running around like crazy people trying to pack and find our bathing suits that were still packed from the move. At some ... Read More about Dinner Before We Go

Hello Friends, and welcome to Fun Facts Friday :) I didn’t take pics of my food because I got a juice from WF and it made me full. Until my stomach realized that was just filler and I got super hungry and ate the entire kitchen before I realized I A.) have a blog where I’m supposed to document my ...

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But, my RD and a few articles I’ve come across say that breakfast should also be a big meal (if not the biggest). I have heard, “You should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” Meaning, make ... Read More about Begg Sandwich and 5K Friday

I made sweet potatoes for Ben and myself to go with dinner, but as soon as they were done I realized what I was really craving was a big salad. So, I saved the sweet potato for tomorrow and opted to throw my baked beans on salad. I used this can of vegetarian baked beans I got on sale today at ... Read More about Baked Beans On Salad

I am notorious for returning to the scene of the crime. If I did something fun, but oh-so-wrong, then just wait for me to return. This goes for races, ex-boyfriends and decadent food. Today I am coming clean and admitting that after class I made a pit stop for a treat (part of my $10 weekly ... Read More about Back To The Scene of The Crime

Way back in January I decided to make 2010 my healthiest year yet by incorporating a healthy (or happy) habit each month. I think I forgot about August, but we’ll let that slide since I just did the whole cross country move and all. Because Ben and I just moved and are fixing up our place, plus ...

Finally, after years of fighting it, I’ve decided to wave the white flag on my battle with dessert. The truth is, I can never go more than one or two days without returning to my old night time eating habits. I always find my way into the kitchen at night, and as much as I formerly wanted to break ... Read More about Waving The White Flag

This post is a twofer – breakfast and lunch, which I don’t usually post together. I normally do breakfast and then come back at the end of the day for lunch and dinner, but my new schedule will be changing a few things on certain days. My legs felt tired this morning so I decided to just do an easy ... Read More about Two-fer Tuesday

My mom never made wet burritos when I was a kid, but I still think wet burritos are one of the best things to get at a Mexican restaurant. If you’re not aware, a wet burrito is just a normal burrito bathed in enchilada sauce and topped with cheese. You must eat it with a knife and fork. Normally, ...

Good Morning and welcome to Monday :) I am usually all about BIG goals. I like to set my sights on things that are far off and unattainable challenging. But, that doesn’t help me stay motivated since gratification is so far off. Well, this week I’m setting mini-goals. These goals are just for ... Read More about Monday Mini-Goals

I love walking the dogs. Well, they love it too, but I don’t really know who appreciates it more :) If I could wag my tail when I hear the leashes jingle I would too.  After a lazy morning and some homework in the afternoon I headed to my mom’s for a visit. I love that I don’t have to take a cross ... Read More about Dog Walk
