My seventh grade science teacher would always say, "Questions? Comments? Complaints keep to yourself." Ha, I love saying that now. I am totally digging all these questions from my anonymous question form. I'm going break up my answers in different posts because I don't want it to get too ... Read More about Questions, Comments…

My Diet Book
*Note - some of the answers to your anonymous questions are in this post. But more formal answers for the rest of the questions are to come. It's only day two of the meal plan I set up for myself this week and I already realized it's not working. I usually aim for 1,800 calories when I am trying ... Read More about My Diet Book
Burnt Toast
I like my toast (and brussel sprouts) burnt, but today I went a little far with it! It's okay I still ate and enjoyed it :) I made cinnamon sugar toast and had an egg fluff on the side for protein. I also munched on some blubes while making coffee and burning the toast. I used half an english ... Read More about Burnt Toast
Diet GPS
Even if you don't have a GPS you have probably been in a car at one time with one. If so, then you know what happens when you go the wrong way... Suddenly Tomtom (or whoever is directing you) says, "What the hell you loser?! I told you to go left, why did you go right?! You are stupid..." No. ... Read More about Diet GPS
Mexican Meatless Monday – Mexican Pizza
For this installment of Mexican Meatless Monday I wanted to do a Mexican take on one of my favorite foods - Pizza! Pizza actually might be my all time favorite food and I love trying new kinds. For this version I used a whole wheat pita as the "crust" and leftover refried beans as the "sauce". ... Read More about Mexican Meatless Monday – Mexican Pizza
A Different Speed
One of my current goals is to get faster! I really want to break 4 hours in the marathon, but I have actually gotten slower in the past year rather than faster?! I don't really like speed work, but I think it's because I haven't given it enough of a chance. This morning I tried a speed work-out ... Read More about A Different Speed
Cookies and Milk
The highlight of my day is def the cookies and milk I am currently enjoying. Is that sad? No. Because cookies and milk freakin' rock. I used the cute tea cup and saucer for my treat. Today was a really weird day eating wise. I could not get full at all, then finally got too full when I came ... Read More about Cookies and Milk
Shakes at the Mall
After church Ben dropped me off at the mall while he ran an errand. I walked around and around for almost and hour before he was back. By that time it was almost 2pm so we figured we'd have lunch. The whole time I was walking by myself everything looked so tempting, but I didn't think I was hungry ... Read More about Shakes at the Mall
Place of the Plunge and Annapolis
Ben and I drove around Maryland today and one of our stops was the sight of next week's Polar Bear Plunge. It is held every year at Sandy Point State Park. Ever heard of the Polar Bear Plunge? From the website: Experience the 2010 Polar Bear Plunge and you’ll be exposed to a spectacle like ... Read More about Place of the Plunge and Annapolis
Eating like I’m training
Today I did 8.77 miles very slow. Ugh, I don't know what's up with my pace lately :( I was shooting for between 8 and 10 miles depending on how I felt. My knee started hurting around mile 4 and went away for a bit, then came back. I'm going to ice it in a bit. I guess I'm used to running super ... Read More about Eating like I’m training
Because I’m Mexican…
Because I'm Mexican I made Ben a killer quesadilla for dinner... after all Mexican food is my specialty :) Because I'm Mexican, and have quite the voluptuous booty, means my quesadilla must be much smaller so I still fit in my pants... Because I'm Mexican I will not admit that the beans on this ... Read More about Because I’m Mexican…
Kickin It
I loved kickboxing! It wasn't difficult cardio wise, but it was a little challenging to learn all the moves that everyone else seemed to already know. I think my dance/cheer background helped me catch on fast though :) I don't know what it is but I feel hungry as soon as I leave the gym. I'm ... Read More about Kickin It
A purpose for diet bread
I found a great purpose for my old "diet" bread - French Toast! I've been craving it and fixing up crappy bread with a good egg mixture, PB and maple syrup was sure to make it good :) I dipped three slices in egg whites, vanilla, cinnamon, splash of milk and chia seeds. Can you see the seeds? I ... Read More about A purpose for diet bread
Who Influences Who
I have been blogging for almost two years (!) and reading for longer. Recently, I have been thinking about how I am still so influenced by other blogs. A lot of it is good, I am grateful to Kath for her delicious oatmeal topping ideas and Roni for her honesty about maintaining her weight ... Read More about Who Influences Who
Cleaning Up My Act
This post is going to be short because I really need to clean up around here. I feel like a messy home just makes me feel messy in general and out of control :(Â So, I picked up some new cleaning supplies at Target today and I'm ready to clean up my act! Illness Update: The doc told me to call him ... Read More about Cleaning Up My Act
Bread and Bars
This morning I wanted to do a little running before I hit up a strength class at the gym. Time was against me so I did 3 miles on the treadmill and hurried off. *Oh, I also sent my phone (used as an ipod) crashing to the ground at one point. Lame. Since I'm new to the gym, and it's big and a ... Read More about Bread and Bars
