Is everyone as happy as me that it's Thursday? I am so ready for the weekend!!! I slept in a little bit today and feel so much better than I did yesterday. I think part of the reason I didn't want to run yesterday was I was sooo tired. I am a huge advocate for enough sleep - it makes a big ... Read More about Usual oats with a crunch

Seitan and Pasta
My mom asked me to throw something together for dinner since she had to take Matt to basketball practice and they would be home hungry. She had thawed out ground turkey and I cooked something up and had a few tastes while cooking. My dinner was centered around this: I mixed it up with some ww ... Read More about Seitan and Pasta
Sleep Eating
Mid morning I snacked on blueberries and half of this protein/fiber drink that was on sale the other day. I snacked on a few of those crack chips with hummus while putting together lunch. Grilled cheese and salad were on the menu for lunch. I really wanted soup, but I have a huge container of ... Read More about Sleep Eating
Misty Water Colored Runnings
It was lightly misting this morning during my run - just enough to keep me cool and not get too wet. (I actually didn't want to run at all this morning, but more on that later.) I ended up doing 6.5m and walking .5 back home. Now it's raining hard so I'm glad I got my energy out before I cooped up ... Read More about Misty Water Colored Runnings
An evening at the Theatre!
Rent was great! There where even 2 of the original cast members. I loved it, but I did like the movie more because you got to know the characters a little more and the details really made it better. Oh and,  I totally adore the guy who plays Roger - actor Adam Pascal. Don't tell Ben. The play was ... Read More about An evening at the Theatre!
Play time
I don't mean "play time" like going to the park as a kid I mean - I am going to see RENT tonight!!! I am sooo excited. I saw the movie when it came out a few years ago and loved it. My friend says that it is 100 times better on stage, so I can't wait! So, I have to work through lunch so I can ... Read More about Play time

So many chips, so little time before the wedding
I went to Costco to get dog food and bread on my lunch and walked out with these things. I picked up the bag to take a look at the nutrition information and a man walked up to me and raved about them. So, I thought I would trust the word of my new random stranger friend and get 'em. He was right. ... Read More about So many chips, so little time before the wedding
Jokes for Lent
Sorry, is this sac-religious? I don't know, but I had to bring a little humor to my withdrawal from sweets. It's not easy to keep it together people! And the jokes are only going to get more lame the longer I stay away from frozen yogurt. ... Read More about Jokes for Lent
Back to work
Hello and happy Monday. I started the day with 5.3 miles and then did a cool down run with Ben for another half mile. He wanted to run, I didn't even ask! I was running a little late so I ate breakfast on the way to work. Here is a reenactment of the bowl - but today I had a lot of PB just to ... Read More about Back to work
Lisa's B-day Bash
My friend Lisa had a birthday extravaganza Saturday night that started with sushi in Santa Monica. I had miso soup, edamame and some fancy roll with baked lobster & a creamy sauce. Again, Saturday is my live it up day *without guilt* so I ate whatever I wanted - even though I managed to stay ... Read More about Lisa's B-day Bash
So much food, so little time
The weekends are always pretty busy for me (in a good way). So, I usually am a bad weekend blogger :( I'm working on it though! For now I am just going to put some pics to recap Sunday and move forward. Since Saturday is a long run day I take Sunday as a rest day (very appropriate don't you ...

Happy little Saturday to everyone out there :) Before I get to Sat's eats though, let me back up a minute and recap the new recipe I tried last night courtesy of Jenna at Eat, Live, Run.

One guess & Mary Announcement
I'll let you have one guess of what I had for breakfast today... Here's a hint - I'm apparently totally predictable and boring. Yep, folks another day of oats, wheat berries, almond milk, naner, cinnamon and PB. Shocking, I know. Â JUNE In an effort to actually give you something new and ...

Cereal pic MIA, as usual
I was doing something with my camera in the afternoon and didn't take a pic of a bowl of cereal for an afternoon snack. Dinner was a boring salad and leftover tofu & brussel sprouts with ww couscous. I am doing something wrong. I need to save money for my upcoming events ;) but it's hard to ... Read More about Cereal pic MIA, as usual
