Happy Friday!
Last night I had some Thai food action and it was the best! I used to go for Thai once a week and that’s been slacking lately. My taste buds are not happy about that so I made up for it with a delicious dinner with Ben. It’s been too long since we’ve done a date night so I was pretty excited.
It was great!
But, this morning I was taking a bite of the leftovers before my run and I think the chicken looked pink!? So I called 911 (read: freaked out/googled it) to see if I was going to die.
My peep Katie (who thinks I need more hugs, self-help books and happens to be an NP) said I’ll probably just get a stomachache.
Day 6 – Spend 15 minutes stretching today (preferably after a workout when your body is warm).
I REALLY need this one! I did a few shake out miles this morning and spent some quality time with my quads. It was nice.
Do it. You won’t regret it 
Friday Favorite – these are my favorite things this week:
1. Walking Fast. Apparently brisk walkers live longer than slowbies. Since I consider all my running just ‘race walking training’ I’m going to live till I’m 112. Which is unfortunate because I thought I was going to die at 40 by a shark attack. Seriously.
2. Cereal. I wasn’t buying cereal for a while because I eat it too fast. Well, I missed it and made up for it this week.
3. Heidi Klum for New Balance Moto Pullover. This is what I was wearing for the latest Ask a Monican. I am obsessed. It’s so comfy and looks like nice workout gear so I can wear it for a walk and then run errands without looking like a complete mess.
4. Fitbit Flex. Working on a project that wasn’t supposed to be on RER but I am using it everyday and will post a review for you step/activity counters out there.
5. Quest bars. I eat one everyday. They are expensive. But that’s why I have to schill bad jokes on the internet – Quest bars. There are worse problems to have.
6. This.

Question: What is your favorite thing this week?
I love making Pad Thai, but it’s definitely not like the original. I’d like to find a authentic Thai restaurant around my area, but I live in the country 🙁
Hahahaha…can I say I was traumatised looking at people walking on the treadmill in the gym this morning? No. Kidding. This after doing Saturday’s 8pm to Sunday 8am Putrajaya 12Hour Walk.
Thai is awesome. Dates are awesome. Stomachaches are not awesome. Hope you didn’t get sick 🙂
Love my fitbit flex. I have asked for the force for Christmas. I hear you on the quest bars. Bought 4 boxes on their Cyber Monday sale. Word to the wise…only eat 1 per day. Just sayin’
my favorite thing is that my 6 yr old rocked a 5k this morning in 9 degree weather, coming in 17th in his division, only 10 and 9 yr olds beat him. The only one under 8 who ran.
Say?…..Did you ever post a recipe for the fantastic-looking Pad Thai you made on impulse that one day?
No! I need to get on that and make it again since it was so good. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
I tried Quest Bars this past summer and really liked them. They’re great to have on those days when I’m caught away from the house and need an emergency lunch!
I love Quest bars….I have one just about every day. I also am pretty obsessed about sunflower seed butter…yum!!
I did do my stretching and my butt is very happy about it. 🙂
Best thing this week….making, baking, and frosting sugar cookies with the family last night while drinking vodka, bailey, egg nog combination!!!
All free calories b/c the night was priceless…right?! 😉
Thanks a bunch! It is an outstanding web site!
I love my fit bit!!
I’m thinking about getting my mom a Fitbit for Christmas, I’m glad to hear you like it!
I am loving my new Nike running tights, I wore them today for my run and thought I hated wearing anything but shorts to run, but was pleasantly surprised and I think I look really cool in them.
Did you end up getting a stomach ache? I am ultra paranoid about that kind of stuff.
Can’t wait to hear about the fitbit. I’ve been thinking about getting one. I feel like fast walking can sometimes be more challenging than easy running. Especially when on an incline!
I just bought my dad the Zip version (he is not a wrist fan!). My mom had one so he was pretty excited about it! My favorite thing this week was the nice Brooks jacket I got!
Maybe the chicken was pink because it had been cozying up to the red cabbage?
That’s what I was going to say! 🙂
My favorite thing this week was when Bart Yasso, yes, THE Bart Yasso responded to one of my tweets. I didn’t respond because my kid said that would be creepy but I retweeted and posted about it on every social media account I have. hehe
I had a bite of quest bar and wasn’t a fan, maybe it was a bad flavor but it just wasn’t my thing. Everyone has good things to say about ’em though so I might have to give it another shot…
My favorite thing about this week is THAI FOOD FRIDAY. My fiance (who’s name happens to be Ben) and I have Thai food every Friday. It is my absolute favorite food and there is nothing I look forward to more than eating it on Friday!
My favorite thing this week was putting up our Christmas tree with my kiddos. It’s so fun to see everything through their eyes again!!
I second the thing about the cereal. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that can make up for lost time with that crunchy goodness haha! And quest bars are to die for…I ordered some from Quest and GNC for their cyber Monday deals. I’m going to have to hide them to keep from eating all 4 boxes in one day…
I <3 Quest Bars! I had to get their Cyber Monday deal of buy more than 2 boxes and get 25% off your order. I bought 4 boxes. I am obsessed with them!
My favorite thing this week has been signing up for another race with some friends (ugly sweater run)! Fun times!
I only ordered 2 boxes on Cyber Monday. Regretting that…
I ordered 2 at first then regretted it and placed a 2nd order for 2 boxes. Yay for quest bars!
My Cyber Monday of 4 boxes of Chocolate Chip Quest bars arrived yesterday…… 😀
I am loving Pickybars. Bye bye Lara bars! And I am loving them after I do my workouts at lunch. Its feels soo good to be back to lifting weights!
That Thai food looks nom nom! Shame the chicken was pink; hope you’re OK!
I love me Nike+ FuelBand. My bro-in–law prefes his fitbit: horses for courses.
My fave thing this week? Decorating for Christmas of course! 😀
I am loving some Carrie Underwood Sound of Music this week! And Audra McDonald– such beautiful voices!!
There is a quest bar that tastes like an almond joy that is great. I couldn’t finish the other flavors I tried in a single sitting. What are your fave flavors?
My favorite thing this week is my birthday sleepover tomorrow.
Choc cookie dough all the way!
What’s the best quest bar flavor?
Chocolate chip cookie dough!
I recently got sent a sample pack to review and I see what you mean now! Super addicting! I am doing 2 giveaway for them next week them, if you want some more to add to your addiction lol
My favorite this week is CHRISTMAS LIGHTS! Our town had their tree lighting ceremony last night and the city is doing theirs tomorrow. So much holiday cheer… love it!
Woohoo! I am a brisk walker too 😉 Music to my ears!
Can’t say I’ve jumped on the quest bar bandwagon. But that’s probably better for my bank account by the sounds of it! I have an expensive kombucha habit as it is…
my favorite thing this week is that my boss came back to work Monday after having heart surgery before Thanksgiving. I was worried sick about him and so grateful he’s back. He’s the best boss ever!
Excited to go stretch tonight. (and then I’ll do the plank i’m fessing up to skipping out on from day 1 =)
Homemade almond butter with pomegranate and raspberry jam on wholewheat toast. Mmmm. I can’t get enough!
Just tried Larabars this week. Usually I do Powerbar but am liking the Larabars. Next I’ll try your Quest Bars.
It’s dumb but my cats are extra cuddly on account of the frigid weather (at the time I type this, almost 2PM, it’s 19°F, feels like 9°F), so earlier my eldest, Sammy, curled up on my lap. The following exchange ensued:
Me: “You comfortable?”
Sammy: *PUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR*
So that’s my favorite thing this week.
My favorite thing this week is being able to run! I am slowly getting to run after injury and it feels AMAZING!!
My friends and I have a thai club and we go to new thai restaurants every other week because were cool kids.
I tried a z bar and it was great!
What is the sizing like on the Heidi klum top? Love it!!! I just ordered the fit bit Zip. can’t wait to try it!
It’s cut slightly form fitted I think. I got the medium and felt like it was too small at first, but got used to it. I think it’s fairly standard sizing.
Whole Foods Oatmeal Bar and Dark Chocolate Pretzel thins have DEFINITELY been favs this week. Amazing. Like disgustingly amazing.
I’m obsessed with my Fitbit Zip. I love it. It even survived a tumble in the washing machine… I nearly cried when I though it might have drowned! Just finished my stretches. It felt really good.
