Today is Day 5 of the Amazing Grass Challenge and I haven't really felt a difference. So, I'm going to up my intake and drink it 2 times a day. I'll let you know if I feel any healthier now! Wednesday Workout - I started the day with 8 minute abs and then 5.5 miles. I didn't wake up earlier enough ... Read More about Amazing Greens Challenge Update

Pump up the volume
My volume eating day continued with a big salad for dinner. I topped it with a bunch of veggies, peanuts and tempeh! You can't see the tempeh because I added it after. One of my top 3 favorite veggies on the side... After dinner I snacked on some Kashi trail mix at the counter - busted! This ... Read More about Pump up the volume
Volume Eating
I've decided my blogging life would be so much easier if I posted 3x a day instead of 1 or 2 big posts - that takes me too long! After adding things on my Target Wedding Registery working all morning lunch was a welcome break :) Today I packed a tuna wrap with carrots and an apple. Oh, and a ... Read More about Volume Eating
Hot hot hot!
It was over 90 degrees yesterday & today at 7am I ran past a marquee at a park and it was already 71! I am a warm weather girl all the way, but I've found that my favorite running temp is around 55 degrees. I get warmed up super fast & stay that way! But, I love "just hanging out" weather to ...

Monica & ice cream sitting in a tree…
I didn't really mention the rest of my weekend in my previous post. Sunday involved yoga, the bridal expo, foodies & frozen yogurt :) I've decided that I will never deny myself ice cream, but I should probably not keep it in the house... but, doesn't this look so amazing?! Today's lunch ... Read More about Monica & ice cream sitting in a tree…
Cold Turkey & Race Depression
Even though the Half Marathon is about 13 days away I'm kinda disappointed that I don't have a full Marathon planned for the near future. I decided against signed up for the RnR SD because I wouldn't have been ready in time, training for a marathon while planning a wedding & running a full mary ...

Bridal Expo
I'm off to a Bridal Expo right now, and I'm super bummed I don't have the time to do a real post, but I'll be back soon :) ... Read More about Bridal Expo
Hold that thought & I’m super fancy
Before my run I decided to try Amazing Greens for day 1 of the challenge. I was scared of this big ol' glass of green stuff, but I went for it! I was taking a risk trying something new before a longer run, but I figured this stuff is healthy & shouldn't hurt me too bad. My Review of Amazing ...

All my lunch money
I completely just spent all my "lunch" money at Whole Foods. And by lunch money I mean everything I own. After Jenna was raving about Amazing Greens I wanted to jump right on board. I am running a half marathon in 15 days, going to Vegas in 27 days and getting married in 63 days!!!!!! Needless to ... Read More about All my lunch money
Does Ben's scale lie?
Friday Weigh In- I weighed myself on Ben's scale this morning & it showed a loss! But, I'm not getting too excited since our scales may be a bit off from each other. Either way, I'll take it! Sleep Diet Challenge- This is not going well. I didn't get 8 hours last night, more like 7ish? I need ... Read More about Does Ben's scale lie?
Pulling Weeds
My appointment to the RD went well. I told her about the blog on my first visit and she took a look at it, but said she decided not to read so she can hear straight from me what is going on - which is best because I don't take pictures of my compulsive snacking that is doing the most damage ...

Second Visit
I have my 2nd visit with the RD today. I definitely have a lot to talk about since it was really hard to work on her suggestions. My run was brutal today, and not because I tried to do anything hard. I just went out for an easy 5 mile maintenance run and I was super slow the whole time. At one ... Read More about Second Visit
Burnt to the bone
Because I had such a big lunch I skipped an official afternoon snack and just had a handful of trail mix. The invites actually got to a lot of people already - I just sent them out yesterday! So, my phone was pretty busy with guest with questions. I need to work on our website so I can refer people ... Read More about Burnt to the bone
Down to the wire
Did I tell you guys that I had to pay taxes this year? Yeah, every year I get a good amount back, but this year I had to pay state (not federal). Apparently Gov. Schwarzenegger doesn't realize I have a wedding to pay for. Boo. It was totally down to the wire - I had to run after the Post Office Lady ... Read More about Down to the wire
Go to your room
I had an errand to run after dinner and on the way back I told myself, "Go to your room when you get home!" I just got back and have time to blog, brush and burp okay, sleep - I wanted to think of another "B" word. I was hungry when I got home, which is weird because I feel like I ate more than I ...
