Ben said we had a gourmet day today! It started out normal with a BIG yogurt bowl. I always am hungry on the day after a long run so I made sure to pile this with fruit, yogurt, a lot of cereal and PB. I also “cleaned” this almond butter jar with a spoon. I was going to put the yogurt bowl in ... Read More about Gourmet Day

California Wine and Thai Food
Ben and I used to eat Thai food once a week in Irvine. But we don’t have a “go-to” Thai restaurant. We decided to hit up a local place we’ve been to a couple of times and like, just not love. Well, we were very pleasantly surprised to see one of our fave CA wines on the menu! We visited Domain ... Read More about California Wine and Thai Food
Mind or Body
After a week of bad runs I have to ask myself if it’s in my mind or body? At first I thought it was all physical – I’ve felt tired and heavy on every run. But, today I realized once I feel physically bad it affects my mind too. The physical and metal aspects are very intertwined because once one ... Read More about Mind or Body
Cake Walk and Magic Bullet Winners
Ben brought home two massive pieces of delicious looking cake today! We have to find an anniversary cake because our wedding site somehow managed to slice up and serve our top tier even though the contract stated we ordered more than enough cake for everyone so I could have two slices plus the ...

Just Wanna Eat
Ever have those days where you just want to eat? You know you’re not hungry, but feel like munching? That was me today. After grabbing a small bowl of cereal, a pear and a handful or two of trail mix I made some popcorn and decided this would be my last snack of the day. I used to be obsessed ...

Happy Friday!
I don’t know if I mentioned it earlier, but this week and next I am working for my old job from California. They needed some help and I can telecommute, so I have been a busy bee! I worked for a recruiting company in CA through most of college and stayed on board full time for a while after ... Read More about Happy Friday!
Beans and Sweet Potatoes
I finally combined my two loves beans and sweet potatoes! My mom says sweet potatoes were my favorite baby food and I have been raised on beans, so it only makes sense. Caitlin has sworn by this combo, but I was hesitant to try it since I didn’t think I liked baked beans. Well, turns out I LOVE ... Read More about Beans and Sweet Potatoes

Cinco De Mayo ‘10
This post title has nothing to do with anything I did or ate today. I feel ashamed that I’m not celebrating my people’s remembrance of the battle of Puebla. This is not Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16). Ha, I just found this website Mexonline for more info. I want to change my website to ... Read More about Cinco De Mayo ‘10
Boxing Before Work
This morning I hit up LA Boxing for a Kickboxing class. I was excited to finally put my gloves to use! So far all I’ve done with them is put them on and jump around… I met a few reps from LA Boxing at Fitbloggin and they offered to let me work out for free if I blog about it. Score! I only ...

I had four super ripe bananas that were screaming to be made into banana bread. Actually, one of them abandoned ship and fell off my banana hammock it was so ripe! This is an old pic of my banana hammock with ripe naners, to illustrate the fact that I like saying banana hammock… Even though my ... Read More about Banana Bread
And that’s okay
Yesterday I hit up the Starbuck in Target for an iced tea. I have said this before, but I have a drinking problem – I chug everything. I really should have entered more beer chugging contests in college because I would have created quite the reputation. I need to be careful with calorie filled ... Read More about And that’s okay
Mexican Meatless Monday: Stuffed Peppers
I was so excited when I thought up this recipe yesterday I couldn’t wait for dinner :) Initially, I was going to put a black bean mixture in the peppers, but I ended up with more than enough filling so I left the black beans out. The soy chorizo has protein, so they weren’t really necessary. ... Read More about Mexican Meatless Monday: Stuffed Peppers

Walk a do
Hello! Ben and I started the day with a walk. It was beautiful today and I ran into my friends, the Geese family! They make me happy :) We hit up the mall because Ben needed sun glasses. Apparently, he thinks he needs a kayak too… He actually slept in today and I stalled my grumbling stomach with ... Read More about Walk a do
