I made the biggest mistake of opening in a bag of chips on the way home from TJ's today. I have a l-o-n-g commute, so I basically have an hour (or more!) to mindlessly snack. I ate 3/4 of it by the time I got home. I knew I should stop eating it, but I tried to pace myself. I am an idiot. This is ... Read More about Driving Dinner

Normal lunch
Today I packed what I think is a "Normal Lunch". I had a sandwich with a slice of turkey, Food Should Taste Good chips and veggies on the side. I wasn't going to pack the chips, but I really like them and according the Intuitive Eating, I should give myself complete permission to eat what I want. ... Read More about Normal lunch
Hot Pizza
Every lunch break I have wedding errands to complete. Today I went looking for wedding bands. I actually am not sure I even want one since I just plan on wearing my engagement ring as a wedding ring. But, I was thinking I may need one for times when I shouldn't be wearing this ring, like traveling ... Read More about Hot Pizza

Sorry I didn't get you a recap on Saturday. The bridal shower was at my mom's and some of my fam didn't leave until late. Earlier Saturday I went for a long run, it ended up being 13 miles.

Fans for my wedding
I ordered fans for the wedding ceremony since it's outside, in June, in California and may be HOT! This is a possible cake topper. I'm not sure how I want our cake to look yet, so I don't know if we'll use this on top, but even if we don't it's a cute little decoration we can keep at our house. ...

Better than Cinnabon
If you can believe this, my dinner tonight was better than Cinnabon. And I should know because I had a sample today at the mall. While I was shopping in the mall for wedding shoes I got super hungry and thirsty, but I didn't want to buy mall food. So, I figured a diet coke would be a happy little ...

Gross out your friends
I love when races give out Technical T's instead of regular old white shirts. I get too sweaty to run in t-shirts, so I love when I can wear a race tee to run! This was my running garb this morning. I did 5.5 miles with some hills thrown in for fun (?). My friends who read the blog make comments ... Read More about Gross out your friends
Cinco de Mayo Dinner
Two years ago today  Ben and I were in Vegas...for our third date. On our 2nd date we talked about how I had never been to the Grand Canyon. He suggested that we go that following weekend and I agreed. We both thought the other person was bluffing. That Thursday he called me and said he would pick ... Read More about Cinco de Mayo Dinner
Lunch Time All Day
I brought my lunch today figuring I might subsidize it with the potluck goodies. I did sample some spinach dip my peep made and these chips everyone was raving about, but mostly stuck to my own for lunch. But - the food was out all day so I may or may not have grabbed a few goodies later :) As I ... Read More about Lunch Time All Day

From the Halo Website: Halo Headbands are technically designed to keep sweat and sunscreen out of your eyes and off your glasses while training, working out, racing, or just working hard. Every Halo Headband includes our ... Read More about Halo Visor
Breakdown
Well, it seems I'm not the only one having a stress breakdown. I had a very good, long conversation with one of my bestest friends and she is dealing with a lot of "life things" right now too. She has decided to turn to alcohol in these trying times, while I visit good ol' ice cream. Together we ... Read More about Breakdown
