Last night I took some pictures of myself in my bathing suit. Ouch!It showed me where I am now versus where I want to be physically. It's not tragic, it's just not good. I have a history of very negative self talk and destructive behavior when it comes to my body and dieting. This is not going to ... Read More about Habits I want to change

I drove to Palm Springs in about an hour and a half. As soon as I got there we got ready to go out. The plan was Mexican food, margaritas and dancing. We went to a cute Mexican place called Las Consuelas. There are a couple of them in the area. I had a bunch of chips and salsa while waiting for the ... Read More about Party Time

My long run was great this morning. I did 11 miles and felt super good during and after :) It was a great run except for the fact that it was a little breezy I guess and made a rat's nest out of my pony tail. Boo.I ate some watermelon on the way to my mom's. I am watching Matt today for her. Matt ... Read More about Today I love … long runs

I went on a dinner and a movie date (with my BF). We had sushi, but not the normal healthy sushi other bloggers post about. We ordered the bad stuff. Ben insisted that his body was craving something fried, so I am lucky we just got sushi and not some "wings" place or something. We started with ... Read More about Sushi and a movie

I had a big salad with TJ's dressing for lunch with a frozen nooodle thingy. This is one of my favorite frozen meals. It has buckwheat noodles and tofu. Added bonus: it's only 200 calories. I had a naner with PB for a snack. I try to keep the PB to a Tbsp, I think this was a little more. But, that ... Read More about Friday lunch and snacks

Morning! I started my day with a nice walk with Rox and Bay leaf (aka Roxy and Bailey). Rox is on the left and Bailey is on the right. Breakfast was 2 Kashi waffles and some egg beaters. I also had some watermelon while I was cooking. I put a lot of ketchup on my food. That's sf syrup on the ... Read More about Today I love … Watermelon

The Spot is a vegetarian restaurant in Hermosa Beach. It has been around forever, but I just discovered it. Here is a picture of the restaurant. Yes, it is just a block away from the beach. I don't work that close to the beach, it's about a 10 minute drive.I went there for lunch today and started ... Read More about The Spot

My run this morning was so windy it felt like I was running in place. That is obviously very frustrating. It was a killer. So, I modified my route so that I was running with the wind on my back on the way back. Haha, I win this round wind! Breakfast was oatmeal soaked in 2/3cup almond milk and ...

Add a Vitatop, a glass of milk and a handful of graham crackers to last night after dinner. Night time eating is my biggest problem. I think the accountability of this blog will help. I need to stop night time eating all together. This will definitely help with my weight loss goals. ... Read More about Last night add on …

A friend/co-worker and I went to the farmer's market during lunch. I got a basket of cherries, which I proceeded to eat immediately. "God made dirt so, dirt don't hurt." Yes, I ate the whole container. Yes, I have a problem when it comes to watermelon and cherries. I estimate I spend 30 to 40 ... Read More about Farmer's Market

Because my hair was a rat's nest after my run this morning. I was so windy! The crazy wind managed to completely tangle my pony-tail into a ball of knots. I hate that. My trick to fix this is to put a ton of conditioner in my hair and comb it out in the shower. It is so much easier than trying to ... Read More about Today I love … my knock off brand conditioner

I had a handful of yogurt covered pretzels and a couple of raisins while making dinner. They come from the bulk bin and are horrible for you. The nutrition information says they are 200 calories for 1/4 cup. I don't think that is right because the mix is mostly yogurt pretzels. You can only fit ... Read More about Don't call it Supper

Dinner last was great. It was sooooo hot in SoCal. No, really hot. We grilled pizzas. Ben had a BBQ chicken and I made a half BBQ chicken, half soy cheese. We love BBQ and when we don't have time to fire up the grill, we just order in from our favorite barbeque restaurant. I also made a salad ... Read More about Steak Dinn-ahh!!!

I got a new camera! Yah for me. I am excited because this is my first camera since 3rd grade when I had a neon orange big ol' rectangle camera. Nice. It's small and cute and plum color. I love it. The main reason I got a camera is for this blog. I am back in business people. Who's coming with ... Read More about Today I love … my new picture taker thingy

Actually, I loved green eggs and ham on Thursday. I went to my mom's school (she is a 3rd grade teacher) and read Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham to her class and to Matt's class. Matt is my little brother, he is in 1st grade. They were having a celebration in honor of Dr.Seuss' birthday and had guest ... Read More about Today I love … Green eggs and ham
