I found these Chocolate Chip cookies at WF today. I have been craving a really good chocolate chip cookie for a while. I wanted a thick chewy one that you can really sink your teeth into. These cookies are very good, but not what I wanted. They are not too sweet, in a good way, so the chocolate ... Read More about Michelle's Naturally Vegan Choc Chip

RUN 11/29/2008
I ran 16.75 miles today. I was supposed to run 17, but I'm lucky I made it that far. I was psyching myself out the whole run. From the very beginning I was telling myself that my legs felt tired, that maybe I should just do 14 today and increase my mileage next week, that I could just run as far as ...

Eat 11/29/2008
I was super hungry after my run - which is unusual. I think I may need to start eating more before or during my long runs. Before my run I ate half this Clif Bar. I ate the rest after breakfast and gave a bite to the BF. After my run I had a bowl of cereal. This is usually what I crave after a long ... Read More about Eat 11/29/2008
I am thankful for Beyonce…
My family didn't go around the table this year saying what we were grateful for and I was disappointed. I told the BF when it was my turn I was going to say "I am thankful for Beyonce." Seriously, after I saw her Single Ladies video I was so thankful that you don't have to be anorexic to be ... Read More about I am thankful for Beyonce…
No Run 11/28/2008
Today was a rest day so I just took a long walk. I am glad I wasn't scheduled to run today since I am still feeling bloated from eating too much yesterday. It felt great to take a walk though :) I have to work a bit from home today and then have some errands to run. I hope everyone had a great ... Read More about No Run 11/28/2008
EAT! Thanksgiving 2008
After my run I still wasn't hungry from eating so much the day before :( But I knew I should eat since we have a late lunch kind of Thanksgiving meal around 2pm. I had a big bowl of cereal...My mom had to go to my grandma's to help her make the stuffing so I was running around all day cooking and ... Read More about EAT! Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I hope you all have a great day :) I did 7 miles this morning and walked about 1. I couldn't do any more than that since I still felt bloated from overeating yesterday.

Eat 11/26/2008
I wasn't even going to post because I had a horrible binge day today and why relive it here for the world to read? But, my oatmeal this morning was so pretty (which is rare for me) and I wanted to post at least that. I chomped on grapes all day, I always do this and I tried to stop myself by serving ...

Run 11/26/2008
I did 5 miles today. I couldn't decide if I should do 4 or 5 the entire time I was running since I want to do a good run tomorrow and don't want my legs to be too tired. When my Garmin hit 4 I felt good and decided to just keep going. I am not sure how many I am doing tomorrow. I know there will be ... Read More about Run 11/26/2008

Run 11/25/2008
6 miles this morning. When I hit 6 I was still about a quarter mile from my house, but I stopped to walk for a cool down. I am sad because I didn't have time to walk the dogs. Boo. I am going to get home too late to do it after work (it will be dark) . I will promise my dogs I will walk them double ... Read More about Run 11/25/2008

Cindy and I were up bright and early to go wine tasting. It was a beautiful day in Paso :) Harvest is the end of August. Now all the grape vines are sleeping...There were beautiful fall colors every where. The area is very hilly and beautiful. It is a gorgeous drive through wine country to get to ...

Eagle Castle Winery
We went to Eagle Castle Winery for lunch, oh yeah and wine tasting of course! This winery is designed like a Medieval Castle. It is decorated full of period pieces that give it a very old feel even though it's relatively new. This winery was founded by a couple who love castles and have traveled ...

Starbucks Oatmeal Review
Normally when I am on a trip I pack breakfast foods since I am a cereal or oatmeal girl not really eggs or restaurant breakfasts. When I pack oatmeal I make hot water with the coffee maker and mix it with oatmeal packets. When I pack cereal I buy a non-fat milk from Starbucks (or wherever) and ...

Happy Monday :)
Happy Monday! It's a short week - working Monday through Wednesday then off for the holiday! Â I love Thanksgiving! I think it might be my favorite holiday, or really it's tied with Christmas. It's one of the few days a year that I enjoy an indulgent meal guilt free. Guilt free is the key term here, ... Read More about Happy Monday :)
