Hi! I started the day leading the fitness group 5k run. I realize I really have missed working with people in person so I’m enjoying this a lot!
And I LOVE that this fitness group is forcing me to wake up earlier this week because I want to reset my schedule earlier now that it’s getting warmer here in SoCal. But, the first few days of an early schedule mean I’m dragging in the afternoon.
I’m not complaining, just justifying some P.M. caffeine 
Plus, I cannot help but just be grateful this is where I’m running…
After the 5k run with the group I did the route again solo to get in a few extra miles. Check out my instagram if you want to hear some ocean sounds to zen out to for a few seconds 
Breakfast!
I caved and bought a ripe avocado from the store yesterday. I hate paying for avocados when I can get them for free from my mom’s trees, but the ones I got from her this weekend aren’t ripe yet. I needed it.

Question: Avoca- DO or Avoca-Don’t?
Flat abs is what everyone wants to achieve but not all knows the right workout training for it. I am pretty sure that this information you provided will help a lot of people. Great idea for sharing it!
Do! Unfortunately they are kind of expensive here in Massachusetts, unless you can get them on sale. So, not as often as I like!
Love Avocado’s but I don’t buy them enough. I live in NY so it is hard to get ripe avocado’s at a great price.
avoca-DO! i eat half an avo everyday. i love adding avo to my eggs, but really, it goes with pretty much everything 🙂
AVACA-DO! I must have one on hand at all times. I usualy mash up 1/2 and put on toast and top w/egg for breakfast.
Love it in salads; on sandwiches.
I need to try to making pudding!
My favorite recipe is spinach, avacado, sun dried tomatos & garlic in the food processor; then mix into mashed chickpeas. Soo good!
That’s so cool that your mom has an avocado tree! Oh I would kill for that! (Don’t worry, not literally 😉 )
Avoca-do!! You get free ones from your Mom’s tree?? Amazing. They are good with almost everything. I love chocolate avocado pudding…yum.
Avoca- DO!! I have been known to eat then right out of the shell with a little garlic sprinkled on for lazy dinners/ snacks. Sooo delightful and filling! Makes any meal better 🙂
my mom is Dominican, so my house has been stocked with avo since I was a young child. Not keen on them plain but love them with just about everything.
Do! Just started eating them last year, and I Love them!!
my son loves them…I can’t stand them.
Love that you are in another magazine!
Avoca-Do! You are so lucky that you have your own avocado tree!

Totally justified to buy the avocados!
Avaca-DO! I stole your idea of simply splitting one, pouring on the hot sauce (I went with Tabasco), and taking a spoon to my face! Delish!
Abs are hard for me to train, but I know it helps my running form and that makes me faster! =D
I’ve been on a huge avocado kick recently, love them!
Avaco-DON’T. I try, I really do. I just don’t like it!
Avaca-DO! All day, every day 😛
Love avocados! I like to mash them up and use as a sandwich spread.
AVOCA-DOOOOOOOO!!! The word avocado looks really weird after seeing it over and over again.
I roll them up in turkey slices with salt and pepper mmmmmm
Yes, I love them with turkey too! So good 🙂
Avoca-do all the way!!
avoca-DO! they go by way too quick in my house.
Avoca-DO for sure! If I could eat them at every meal I probably would. It doesn’t hurt that avocados and sriracha are so good together!
Don’t. … I’m allergies to avocados. …
Oh no. Definite don’t for you 🙁
Love avocados too! What a beautiful place to run.
I’m an avocado fan, but not quite as much as some! It’s kind of one of those things I enjoy but don’t go out of my way for.
DO! Avocados make every meal better. I’ve just started adding them to toasted egg breakfast sandwiches.
Avocado makes everything better. True fact.
Heart me some avo!!! Especially just a little avocado and dash of salt rolled into a warm corn tortilla! Sigh, one of my fav snacks!!! Xo!
avo-YES-all-time-time! I have one with a little bit of sea salt and cracked pepper about 3x a week. Just slice that baby up and grab a spoon. Yes. please.
😀
Avacado DO! So addicting! Great job on the article!
I used to hate avocado, now I’m a fan. I eat it at least once or twice a week. Now nuts – those are definitely my jam, I eat them on the daily. 🙂
I only started eating avocados last year. I can’t believe that I went 30 years without eating them – so good!!
I love that Jillian Michaels ab DVD! 🙂
Glad you found avocados in your life 🙂
Half an avocado most days. I bet in heaven everyone has an avocado tree.
100% avoca-DO! I use it to replace mayo a lot of times so I’ll mash up my hard boiled eggs with it for egg salad or top my sandwiches with mashed avocado so they aren’t dry. And then there’s always my beloved Whole Foods guacamole! It’s seriously my downfall!
Avocado instead of mayo for egg salad, can’t believe I didn’t think of that! Mayo does a number on me so I haven’t eaten it in forever and I’ve really been missing egg salad and tuna sandwiches. If I can find a ripe avocado I’m eating that for dinner, lol!
It works surprisingly well! Hope you’re able to satisfy your craving!
Do! I think I’ve been eating at least half an avocado everyday for the past few weeks, so good!
Quick question concerning healthy fats: A friend who does Weight Watchers told me that if I eat half an avocado, I shouldn’t eat PB later on because that’s too much fat, even if it is healthy. What are your thoughts?
don’t listen, unless you’re trying to lose weight, in which case it may throw you off calorically (which is pretty much all WW tracks anyway). In a healthy diet, there’s no upper-limit to unrefined, plant-based fats.
I personally disagree, but I am a fan of healthy fats in my diet. They keep you full (so you’re less likely to snack and really overeat) and are good for ya too. It’s fine to eat more than one healthy fat source a day. Yes, they are higher in calories than say a piece of fruit, but they also serve a different purpose in your diet.
yabba dabba avoca-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
avoca-DO…every. single. day. It was one of the first foods I fed my kids when they were starting to eat….it’s a family favorite!
