Because of some stuff going on right now Ben and I may have to postpone the honeymoon to September :( I am so bummed because we have put off taking a vacation this year for this trip! Boo. I'm hoping it will work out and we'll be able to go to Belize like we originally planned. I don't want to say ... Read More about Hopeful Honeymoon

Almost there!
Ben and I got our marriage license today on our lunch. We had to meet at the Registrar's office because we are coming from 2 different directions. Before I left I ate cherries. I still can't decide if my favorite fruit is watermelon or cherries! Â Â Â Â I also had to pack lunches for Ben and ... Read More about Almost there!
How ya feeling?
I'm not feeling so great because I've been eating a ton of crap - processed foods, too much sugar, too many empty carbs... Since losing weight is sort of on the back burner right now (orders of the RD)Â my priority is feeling good. Well, too many processed, empty calories are making me feel bad. I'm ...

Positive Affirmations
I love listening to the Intuitive Eating CDs. Today they talked about switching some of the things you tell yourself with more positive thoughts. One of them was: Old thought: "I need a diet and specific meal plan to lose weight" New thought: "I know my body will return to it's best weight if I ... Read More about Positive Affirmations
10, 9, 8, 7…
Someecards... so funny! Only 10 days until my wedding! Raise your hand if you're excited stressed out! Raise your hand if you can't take a clear picture... sorry it's blurry. It's probably for the best as I just got back from my run. ... Read More about 10, 9, 8, 7…
By Cereal I Mean Cookies
I had to pick up a few things from TJ"s after work. I have been eyeing this cereal for a while now. But didn't want to get it because the nutritional info is not too good - Very high in calories for 3/4c serving. Who eats 3/4c cereal? Not this girl! I caved and bought it to try. I had a few ... Read More about By Cereal I Mean Cookies
Four dollar hummus
After a whole week off it's hard to get back into the swing of things. I got up early and ran 6 miles with a few hill repeats. Actually, it didn't feel too early since I was on Eastern time when I left FL yesterday. I was about to make oatmeal since I hadn't had it in so long when I realized that I ...

One last dip
We were able to squeeze in one last dip in the pool before we had to leave Florida. It was a great trip overall, but the timing could have been better. I have a very LONG list of wedding and work tasks waiting for me in California! But, we couldn't have changed the timing because the trip is part ... Read More about One last dip
Wrap it up
I'm wrapping up my Florida get away today. Our flight leaves at 4pm, but we have to leave for the airport around 1pm :( I started my last day on Marco Island with a run around the place. This time I went in a new direction to explore. I hate that the humidity doesn't dry up your sweat like dry ... Read More about Wrap it up
Rain be gone
After two hours of downpours it finally stopped raining and we went down to the beach. The Bride and Groom Challenge game was fun. I learned the name of Ben's childhood best friend that he's never mentioned and he learned that I would rather be President of the United States over President of a ... Read More about Rain be gone
Rained out
Coming from California I don't see rain much. So, the rain in Maryland and today in Florida has me water logged! I don't know if you can tell, but it is storming here. Ben and I wanted to go outside and play tennis, but it was lightning pretty bad, so we had to play racquetball. Still fun! The ... Read More about Rained out
Not Yogurtland
After dinner we went down to watch the sunset. I need to stop and smell the flowers more and I appreciate when I'm forced :) I also took a nice walk while talking to my mom on the phone. I needed ice cream tonight (it's been a long week) so we went to Cold Stone. ... Read More about Not Yogurtland
Dress the part
Good day from sunny Florida! I woke up and ran 6 miles in the humidity - not easy when you're not used to it! I brought soy milk for cereal. These are the individual juice box style ones - get for travel! I mixed Honey Bunches of Oats with Peaches mixed with flax. Later I had some grapes. ... Read More about Dress the part
Flights and flights
I was going to go for a short run this morning, but it was cold and rainy in Maryland so I opted for Plan B - walking up and down the stairs in the hotel. It was only 3 flights up so I just went up and down repeatedly for about 30Â minutes. Then I did 20 minutes of yoga from yogadownloads ... Read More about Flights and flights
Found it!
We kept hearing about the fabulous walking paths all around Columbia, but could not find them yesterday. Finally this morning I found a small path and ran around for bit. I'm slowly getting caught up on sleep, but time changes are hard for me! We stayed at an Extended Stay place last night so I was ... Read More about Found it!
Hand over the veggies!
The only bad thing about traveling is the lack of access to fresh produce! I love traveling, but I hate that you have to eat out the whole time. I try to plan ahead, so I don't just live off crap, but sometimes you can't avoid it! This morning I ran 4 miles. My legs are still tired so I cut it ... Read More about Hand over the veggies!
