Five Friday Favorites and Ask A Monican

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
15 Jul

I love the “f” word – Friday.

So here’s a collection of Five Friday Favorites:

1. Single serving watermelons. But, gimme two of them Winking smileIMG_0003 (800x600)

2. Fruit and cereal. Just not together – learned that the hard way today…IMG_0005 (800x600)

3. Green eyeliner. I haven’t been wearing makeup at all this week, but today I busted out the green eyeliner and it was like I had a makeover.IMG_0015 (800x600)

4. Bread, in this case specifically Garlic Naan the size of my massive watermelon head.IMG_0018 (800x600)

4.1/2 Coupons! Ben and I found a “buy one get one free” coupon for our favorite Indian place. We share a 3 item combo, so we have a whole other combo for tomorrow (or later tonight…).IMG_0017 (800x600)

We massacred this meal.IMG_0019 (600x800)

5. Yogurtland. Always and forever.IMG_0021 (800x600)

The happy couple…IMG_0022 (800x600)

The latest Ask A Monican is up!

This week I answer:

1. What’s your blogging schedule?
2. When should you start eating during a run?
3. Why’d you pick ACE for the personal training certification?

    Monica, LOVE your blog. I have been a reader for a few months now, and love your style! You are hilarious, seem very genuine, and aren’t afraid to be be slightly inappropriate, which I totally dig! 😉 I am also really liking your “Ask a Monican” series. It’s very informative. Thanks for being so great 🙂

    MMM naan–I love that stuff!

    Also, since I know you love cherries, have you ever thought of dipping them in [white] chocolate?! I just came across this post and decided you had to see it:

      Thank Lisa, but white chocolate is one of the 2 things in the world I don’t like 🙁 I also don’t like fruit as dessert. I consider fruit, fruit and chocolate separate – it must not be combined.

    Thanks for the video!!! I always think it is so funny when you hear someone you have seen but never heard before. I evidently create a voice in my head for people and then when I hear them talk I’m like what??? That isn’t at all what they sound like! LOL!

    “Woman vs. food” bahahahaha

    Also, I’m sure you get this a lot, but gosh you’re gorgeous. Your photos don’t do you justice – watching you talk really makes your features come alive. Sorry if that’s creepy – you jokingly make fun of yourself a lot on your blog, which I appreciate (it’s honest!), but you also need to to recognize how stunning and fiery you are!

    Your Ask A Monican’s are so much fun! And bread – who can say no to that? Naan is an all time favorite.

    Is it strange that I can always identify what kind of cereal in your bowls? Ha…

    Love that part of your reasons for picking ACE was you were “shopping local”. I don’t think people think in that way when shopping for some services. Very cool

    I’ve got a question for your vlog series: I’m training for my 2nd half marathon and am HANGRY much of the day. As I’m trying to not gain the “Marathon 15” (your words – I laughed when I saw that a few posts back), what tips might you have to battle the day long hunger? (as you know, I am gluten intolerant, but don’t let that alter your answer. I’ve gotten pretty good at making appropriate subs.) Sorry if you’ve answered this already, but thanks lady!
