After work I hung out with my friend Susan. We are trying to figure out what we're going to do with our lives - serious business. I ate some grapes on the way. Here's a a picture of the grapes for your viewing pleasure. By the time I got home it was after 10pm and I was super hungry. I just wanted ... Read More about Thursday Recap

I wasn't really hungry, but was planning on staying at work a little late so I had some plain yogurt and cherries with agave. I am trying to eat my yogurt before it goes bad - don't want to waste it. Dinner was a HUGE salad topped with a Boca chik'n pattie. These are very good. I also had some Kashi ... Read More about Recap Wednesday

I just realized two of the most important people (or dog) in my life recently had big makeovers. I thought I would post some before and after pictures so I can compare which look I prefer. Here is Roxy before, notice her long, black, flowing locks... Here is Roxy after. Notice her baldness... ... Read More about Makeovers all around!!!

My brother didn't tell me, but he took the dogs to get groomed on Saturday. When I came home on Sunday I discovered my dog had a makeover. Roxy (on the left) got a full summer haircut. Bailey got a wash - he had never looked so white and shiny! When Roxy plays fetch with us Bailey chases her so he ... Read More about Puppy Makeover!

So, I just went through my bank statements for the past month to break down how much money I spent on food. I don't keep track of what I buy and I should have a better idea of where my money goes. Also, I use my debit card for everything so, I don't actually see the cash leave me hand.I went though ... Read More about Food Challenge

I am going to start this cleanse officially today because I'm not sure if the soy-cream sandwich I had last night should be on the list because of the added sugar.

I am back in business, sort of. I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I only ran 4 miles today, because I figure you shouldn't run more miles than the hours you've slept the night before if you didn't get a full 8. New rule.I had a couple of handfuls of Kashi Good Friends while making oat bran. This is ... Read More about Wednesday – Today I love … being home

We weren't leaving until 6pm so we had time for some fun stuff on our last day on Marco Island. I started the day with a little run. I am getting used to tolerating the humidity - a little. Tuesday is the BF's mom's b-day so his sis and I made breakfast. It was mostly his sis, but I did make the ... Read More about Traveling Tuesdaily

I was able to run on Monday in the crazy Florida heat and humidity. I am a California girl so this humidity kills me. I love the heat, but southern California is a desert so I am used to dry heat.After that hot run I made a smoothie for breakfast. I randomly threw things we had in the kitchen in the ...

I thought it would be a good idea to start my bikini wearing vacation by eating a Cinnabon. Luckily, I had the BF with me and was in a sleepy stupor so I just ate about 1/4 of it. Damage: 1 million calories. (I will look it up tomorrow.) The BF got some croissant sandwiches and I had a couple of ... Read More about Florida Friday!!!
