I wanted something sweet after dinner so I had one of these Swirl Stix. They are only 57 calories each! But, my sweet tooth was not satisfied so I started picking at the candy in the candy bowl (at my mom's). These are my candy tracks. Boo. Damage: minis of a 3 Musketeers, PB kiss, dark chocolate ...

I had a great run this morning, did about 11. I felt good the whole time and even finished strong and considered doing more. I need to pin down a training plan so I have more direction and purpose to my runs. Whenever I have a good run I look to what I ate from the night before. That Chinese food ...

So, I failed. I was one of the last ones in the office and it was just me and the brownies. Apparently the brownie explosion party was an ice cream and brownie sundae feast. Luckily, I avoided most of it, but I did end up having a brownie and an oreo. Boo. It wasn't that good either (no offense to ... Read More about Friday Failure

I went for a run down by the water first thing in the morning. I was out for about an hour. There were a lot of other runners out and it was so nice to be running in a new place where I felt safe and not a weirdo for running. Breakfast was cereal with Kashi Trail Mix and milk. I also had some ... Read More about Leaving San Francisco Monday …

Another great day in SF! I started the day with a run on the treadmill in the hotel gym. I used to always run on the 'mill - like 5 times a week because I hated running in my ghetto neighborhood. It was a nice little return to my running roots. Isn't that weird? Sunday Breakfast - I brought a mix ... Read More about San Francisco Sunday

We stayed in San Simeon Friday night because we didn't want to worry about driving all the way up to San Francisco if traffic was horrible. So we woke up Saturday morning and took a nice little walk on the beach. It is beautiful up there. The beaches are rocky and picturesque and quiet (not full of ...

Friday is normally a rest day for me, but I went for a long run since I would miss a quality weekend run while I was out of town. The weather was cold and windy - what is up with that? I am not used to that in So Cal, so I wanted to stop about half way through since it was starting to sprinkle. But, ... Read More about Friday – Vacation Time!

The BF sent me an email last night with what he ate for dinner. It included the recipe and a picture of his food. He thought it was funny since it is in such contrast with what I eat. The subject line was BF vs Monica. I am putting it on the blog to show how freakin' hard it is to eat healthy when ... Read More about The BF vs. Monica
