Running keeps you humble
Running keeps you humble. I was thinking about this today as I was out on a 16 miler that ended up being a 15.5 miler. (I had to talk myself into the last mile and a half too.) I have ran half marathons and recently a full marathon, I've been running for over 5 years, but every long run is still a ... Read More about Running keeps you humble

I was hungry around 10:30am today so I busted out my salad early: The rest of my lunch at noon was a PB&PB and fruit I wasn't that hungry for my afternoon snack, but felt "empty" and knew I had a long time to go before dinner. I just put some Pumpkin butter & Kashi Go Lean Crunch right ... Read More about Half a pound
Finally Friday & Wedding Menu Ideas
I am so happy that it's Friday. I don't get to to see Ben during the week since we live kinda far from each other (with traffic it takes too long!) so I'm happy to go straight from work to his place. Since he does live a ways from my work too I am trying to change up my schedule to get here earlier ... Read More about Finally Friday & Wedding Menu Ideas

Can o' beans
I love this can o' beans - Trader Joe's Black Bean Soup. It's really good, but not the most appealing picture, so here is the can (& my classy chipped nail polish). I ate it with the rest of those rice chips and some spicy hummus. Those chips are addictive & I already want to buy more! I ... Read More about Can o' beans

No naner for you!
I had no choice but to find an alternative to oatmeal for breakfast because when I went to go make it I discovered my mom ate the perfectly ripe naner I was going to use to sweeten my oats and we only have green/not ripe naners. Boo. I was kind of annoyed because I purposely bought that banana ... Read More about No naner for you!
Monica "The Snackerson" Blogger
I had half of this Cliff Bar around 2:45pm this afternoon. I don't think I was hungry yet, but I had been looking forward to it all day. I also had way too many grapes a half an hour later. You know you've eaten a lot of fruit when you are super full from it all. A little later I stole a handful ... Read More about Monica "The Snackerson" Blogger

I have looked at department stores & have not had any luck so I am probably going to go with them. I have ... Read More about Productive Lunch

I felt good the entire time and felt pretty fast too. It was dark when I first started and I didn't ... Read More about Monday runday
