After a very snacky lunch (I took no pics) I was hungry for a snack around 3:30pm. I thought it would be a great idea to make a pumpkin shake so I started with pumpkin as a base and proceeded to add everything in my freakin' freezer to make it taste good. I didn't have my go-to ingredients for a ... Read More about Eat Part II 11/19/2008

Foreman Update
I forgot to mention the deal I got on my new toy. Costco sent out a booklet of coupons a week or two back and I saw a coupon for $40.00 off the Garmin Forerunner 305. The coupon became effective Nov.17th and is valid for about 2 weeks (sorry I don't have the book with me for the exact date, but I ... Read More about Foreman Update
Eat Part I 11/19/2008
I had a handful of shredded wheat before I went on my run. When I got back I couldn't decide between oats or cold cereal (it's still warm here) and finally decided oats because the naners were so ripe. But, I still ended up eating some cereal while I was cooking, I guess I wanted that more - I ... Read More about Eat Part I 11/19/2008
Run 11/19/2008
This morning I ran with my new running partner - my Garmin Forerunner 305!!! This is what I bought yesterday at Costco (the present to myself for the GRE pain I put myself through). I had just got it yesterday and only took it out of the box for a minute at work so my co-workers could make fun of me ... Read More about Run 11/19/2008

Run 11/18/2008
I ran about 6 miles today and felt so good! I felt like I was going pretty fast, but I don't know if I actually was. There has been fires around southern California lately and I didn't smell any smoke or anything so I thought it was fine to run. Well, I think I was wrong. Mid-morning at work I ...

Eat 11/18/2008
Okay, so yesterday's eating was Bad - with a capital B (obviously). I couldn't stop nervous snacking all day! I was coming down from the test all day and I still couldn't just relax. I really should have had a drink to relax. I am super high strung, I think I've mentioned before that I always joke ... Read More about Eat 11/18/2008

Chocolate Lava Cake
The BF thought this Chocolate Lava Cake from Trader Joe's would be a good idea. Of course I didn't try to stop him, I thought about it, but my inner chocolate cake lover stopped me from protesting. So yeah, I tried this... In my defense it was the night before the GRE and I was in ultimate stress ... Read More about Chocolate Lava Cake
Run 11/17/2008
I started the day with a happy 5.5miles. It felt so good to run because I was super stressed!

Other workout: GRE!I took the GRE this morning/afternoon - I was in there from 8:30am ... Read More about Run 11/17/2008
Chobani!!!
The company that makes Chobani sent me some samples of their yogurt to try (thank you Tiffany)! I know this has been floating around the blog world a bit so I thought I would do a video post to change things up. I tried the plain and strawberry here...don't expect me to be funny, I guess I'm not ... Read More about Chobani!!!

Pre-run fuel: half this Maple Nut Clif bar. I am trying out different foods to see what works best for me. Today was a long run ... 15miles long!

The BF met me on my way back from my run and we walked to the store. I stopped at Juice It Up in the shopping complex for a smoothie to share. It was super hot during my run and I just wanted something cold and refreshing. This was so good! I wanted a Jamba Juice and was considering driving over, ... Read More about Eat Part I 11/15/2008
