Hello and Happy Friday! I started my day with an easy 3 miler. I think I finally realized the reason for my calve baby cow / ankle pain = my shoes! I’ve been wearing a shoe that is a lot lighter and less stable than my normal shoes. I don’t think they offer enough support and it’s starting to wear on the muscles of my lower legs. Noted. I’m switching back tomorrow.
I had a conference call at 8am so I quickly made eggs and toast when I got back. Except it wasn’t quick because I didn’t turn on the stove! So I ate my toast while cooking the eggs.
I realized the whipped cream cheese has the same nutrition stats as Laughing Cow and is a lot cheaper so that’s what’s up this week

Question: What’s your favorite thing this week?
Jan Marie says
Haha that cartoon is hilarious and so true! Adorable little avocado backpack too, I want one for my girls!
Reagan says
Starting a new job! I’m new to the LC, but the main reason for buying that over a tub of cream cheese for me is the portion control. A tub of cream cheese is actually pretty expensive in eastern ontario. In the 4.50 range.
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
My favorite thing this week? Girls Night Out with some of my favorite girlies tonight!
Megan @ The I Do Diaries says
That avocado backpage and the exercise meme are both hilarious, I’m not sure which one I enjoy more. My favorite thing this week has been this awesome salad I’ve had 3x this week. Same exact one: baby spinach, sliced strawberries, pecans, chickpea falafel, dried cranberries and pomegranate vinaigrette. Yum!
Erika@YouJustDidWhat says
Favorite thing has got to be the slide that is keeping my daughter busy outside!!
Megan @ Run Like a Grl says
Oh man I have to get that avocado backpack haha. Its so random but I love it almost as much as real avocados.
My favorite thing this week is the nap I’m about to take after my finals this week 🙂
Meghan @ Run With Meg says
I am happy that its Friday. That backpack made me smile 🙂
Heather says
HAHA! That cartoon is great! I’m so stealing that and hanging it up in my office at the gym! Thanks!
Christine@ BookishlyB says
My favorite thing is yet to come- I’m rewarding myself for a successful reduced 2 week reduced-sugar diet with a Funfetti Blizzard from DQ. Counterproductive, yes, but also very exciting.

I had to switch back to my older shoes after I got new ones because they were lighter and the heel made my strike different. It would hurt to run every time and I would sometimes get shinsplints..not worth it. I don’t care what they say about miles per shoe used but I don’t run that much anyways so it doesn’t matter. I’m going to volunteer at the Wildflower Triathalon up in San Luis Obispo. It’s pretty much a big party…

Love the backpack, now what about an avocado ring and earring set? My favorite thing this week was going on a field trip to Legoland with my clients.
Deirdre @ Oh Well Whatever says
Having today off is my favorite thing!
Yo Momma Runs says
Why do I love that stupid little spin man cartoon so much? I think it will keep me happy into the night.
Amber K says

That avocado backpack is awesome! My favourite thing this week is the end of the workday. My little family (husband and dog) are heading to the mountains for a camping weekend!
