Hello hello! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I had a day of crappy eats and didn't really want to own up to it. By crappy I mean Chinese take-out and drinking eggnog out of the carton. Guilty as charged :) I ordered Pei Wei and for some reason I ordered it extra spicy and it was killer! I loved it ... Read More about Phase Two: Observation (Over)

Two Crazy New Finds
I came across two crazy new food finds today. I love trying new food :) Can you guess what the first one is? Here is a picture: Did you guess Salt & Pepper Fava Beans? If so, you're right! The other find isn't as crazy, but I'm crazy about it! Kashi has a new cereal out - Go Lean ... Read More about Two Crazy New Finds
Rockin’ the Side Braid
I can't figure out what to do with my hair since I need to wear a beanie when I leave the house. But, often want to take it off when I get to the store. So, today I'm rockin' the side braid. It's a new look for me, but I'm going to roll with it :) I swear, I wish they had America's Next Top Model ... Read More about Rockin’ the Side Braid
This is Why I’m a “Half” Girl
When the mileage gets up to the 18s, 19s and 20s I start thinking of runs as work instead of fun. I really enjoy weekend long runs of 13 miles or so, but once it gets past that - I dread them. I really hate this because I love running. I have never "made myself" run - I do it because I want to ... Read More about This is Why I’m a “Half” Girl
Chocolate Monster
I felt like the Chocolate Monster all day today! I could not get enough chocolate! When this happens I usually just go with it because you can't fight the monster. I started with these Andes mints. They were on sale and a really random buy, but I like them because they remind me of a restaurant ... Read More about Chocolate Monster
2009 Resolutions Revisited
2009 is almost over and I'm already planning my 2010 Resolutions! I love fresh starts and have been working on my goals diligently :) For a little "flash-back Friday" action here were my 2009 Resolutions: 1.

Don’t Forget
I am so anxious to get out the door to mail off these letters I almost forgot to blog! Ha, that never happens. Yes, sometimes I don't blog in a timely manner, but it's still on my mind. I guess there's a lot of different thoughts running through my head today :) First things first - I've been ... Read More about Don’t Forget
Cream Sauce
I have never bought cream based pasta sauce before. It's one of those things I realize is very high in fat and calories and try to avoid or at least keep to eating when we go out. Well, I recently had a coupon for this one and decided to go for it! Of course this is the dinner when Ben says, ... Read More about Cream Sauce
It’s a Sign
I am currently obsessed with taking pictures of signs. I stop all the time and bust out the camera to take a picture of random signs. Today I did it in the post office: When the Post Office commercial comes on I think it says "If it fits, It Shits!" and laugh to myself every time. Lame, but funny ... Read More about It’s a Sign
Tree Down and Bowl of Volume
I got an important call during my run so I stopped and stood in place while I chatted. I didn't want to keep walking because I stopped right by this tree. It must have fell during my run because it wasn't blocking the path on the way out (the first time I passed it). But, on my way back there was a ... Read More about Tree Down and Bowl of Volume

Elliptical Swap
I swapped my run this morning for 30 minutes on the elliptical. I actually hate that trade since I get bored and don't feel like it's a good workout, but I thought the sidewalk would be too slippery for a run (I heard a very icy rain hitting our windows last night). After the elliptical I took a ... Read More about Elliptical Swap
Paula’s Recipe
Paula is my mom: She actually doesn't have recipes for anything. She's like me in that she just kinda throws stuff together and hopes it will be good :) (Sorry Mom, it's true.) So, I kinda followed her "recipe" for dinner tonight by doing the same thing. She used to make a dish with polish ... Read More about Paula’s Recipe
I may have left a few details out…
There was a mix up with some stuff this morning plus Ben called in sick to work so I wasn't able to leave for my run until 11am. That is super super late for me. By that time I was hungry so made a wrap with egg whites and ketchup before I left. Then, I was off on my 4 mile run! Ben offered to ... Read More about I may have left a few details out…
Positive Post
Hello Hello :) Sorry for the bummer (yet funny) post last night. I'm starting this day with a positive post to make up for it. In the spirit of Christmas I thought I'd show you my fabulous dollar store Christmas decorations... Here is my $1.00 Mistletoe. I hope this doesn't relay the message to ...

F My Diet
Today was a diet disaster: The only things I took pics of were beans and an orange ( I didn't eat the beans out of a can like some grizzly camper) . I also ate a ton of random crap. So, Intuitive Eating was a major fail today. I think somewhat because I was a glass case of emotion ... Read More about F My Diet
