For one of my nutrition courses we are learning about helping people (and yourself) lose weight in a healthy way. I really love that the approach is realistic. Yesterday I read about Start, Stop & Keep. This is where you identify a habit you want to start, one you want to stop and one you want ... Read More about Start, Stop, Keep

Meet Banana Hammock and friends
In an effort to relieve my severe depression, Ben came home with an aquarium the other day. I told him it wasn't going to work, and we agreed that the aquarium is mostly for him. But, I am going to play along as much as my sad, cat & dog-less self can. We went to the pet store and got three new ... Read More about Meet Banana Hammock and friends
Cereal Killer
I was a cereal killer this morning because I ate this big bowl of it then added some more (and then, some more) just because. I used to completely binge on cereal and haven't done that in a while since I have not brought "those" cereals in the house. (Except for that recent granola buy that was gone ...

New Look
Like my new look? I have been wanted a full-on makeover for a while, but Ben keeps trying to talk me out of dying my hair blonde. I don't want to do it if it's going to look fake so we keep talking about going to a wig store to test it out. We finally passed by one today as we were walking to a ... Read More about New Look
Keep Going!
I did 13.1 miles today in 2:00:58. This is actually 8 minutes slower than my best Half Mary time so I'm not too happy with it, but I still feel like I had a good run :) The hills are still killing me, but they are not stopping me all together. Around mile 9 a little old lady with a walker was ... Read More about Keep Going!
Pantyripa
Ben and I bought this bottle of "Pantyripa" in Belize. It is basically Malibu Rum and Pineapple juice already mixed. I know it's a super fruity/sweet drink, but it is my #2 favorite drink! I came home and drank some :) Then, I had to write an article on HPV for some freelance work I'm doing. I ... Read More about Pantyripa
Nervous no more!
I was thinking about how exciting it is that some of my fave FL bloggers have a race tomorrow! But, I would be a total nervous wreck if I was running. That's because I don't race enough. I only do one or two races a year and they are usually half marathons (I just started with the fulls this ... Read More about Nervous no more!

A HOT meal

It was so ... Read More about A HOT meal

I'm Going Downhill Fast
Yes, I have to admit that I'm going downhill fast. And then, when I go uphill I'm slow! My training plan called for 1 mile easy, 5 miles at Marathon Pace and 1 mile easy. I did pretty well keeping my Marathon Pace, but the last 3/4 mile of my 5m Marathon Pace is uphill and killed me! See how I'm ... Read More about I'm Going Downhill Fast
Mini Batch of Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have been dying to bake for a week now and finally got the chance today. But, since baking is a major danger zone for me I decided to make a mini-batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies!

My Lunch Doesn't Stink
...but it smells like it does! After heating up my lunch today my co-worker asked me, "What did you bring for lunch today?" Because I managed to bring the two smelliest lunch foods I could - cooked broccoli and egg salad! Ha. After the fact I realized that I stunk up the office. But, it tasted ...

No run on Tuesday?
This is my second week of "4 Runs a week" and today was really weird. I have always run on Tuesdays (well, at least for the last 5 years)! Last week I had just come back from my trip and was feeling sick so the Tuesday off from running was welcome. But, today it feels wrong. I want to give it a ... Read More about No run on Tuesday?
