Fun Friday–Watermelon Head

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
6 Apr

Happy Friday! I’m sporting the new visor I got at the Ironman TX expo last weekend.IMG_9559 (800x600)

But, I really should be sporting my watermelon hat…watermelon hat(source)

because the h2o melon I bought yesterday is perfectly sweet. I know how to pick ‘em! (Here’s my post on choosing a good watermelon.)watermelon breakfast

After an easy 4 mile run I ripped apart the kitchen making breakfast. Truthfully, I’m not able to make a bowl of cereal without dirtying 5 pans.

This is a whole wheat english muffin with eggs, laughing cow and a thick spread of port jam. Yeah buddy.IMG_9563 (800x600)

Lately I’ve been eating tons of egg whites, but I’m starting to do half cup of egg whites and one real egg. This makes all the difference in taste and satisfaction. IMG_9567 (800x600)

It’s almost Easter (it’s good Friday to be exact). Let’s have a little Flashback Friday action in honor…

I didn’t always like the Easter Bunny…SCAN0100 (1)

But, once I realized he brought me candy I was all about it. I will do anything for chocolate Winking smileSCAN0099

Happy Easter! monica at easter

What are your plans for this weekend?

I’m going to church, baking my bunny cake and eating tons of eggs.

    We had Little League Opening Day Ceremony this morning. I have a meeting this afternoon. Might watch a softball game this afternoon. Depends on how long my meeting lasts. Tomorrow we are hiking and then I want to do a trail run. But the park may be too busy for that.

    Somehow I don’t think that wearing a watermelon on your head is comfortable, lol.

    And is it bad that as soon as I read the word watermelon, I thought of college and putting a bottle of vodka into a watermelon? 😉

    I add a real egg to my egg whites too! So much more satisfying that way. I have a busy weekend of rehearsal for the musical I am in and an Easter picnic with my mom, bro, and handsome man!

    I am going to start adding a full egg to my weekend egg sandwiches too. Thanks to you, I picked up the egg white salad at Trader Joe’s. Really liked it, but it was missing something…I like that feeling of the yolks just a tiny bit.
    Recent articles in Runners World have shown that the yolks have a lot of vitamins and stuff that the white don’t.

    This weekend: I just decided today that my parents are coming over for Easter dinner as long as they bring the ham they bought. Still have to tell my husband those plans… 🙂
    Also playing touch football Saturday and hoping to get an hour-long trail run in a new pair of Brooks Cascadias (never used them before…hope they rock!)

    Tomorrow shall be working out, maybe taking the dog to the vet if she needs more shots, house cleaning, and netflix watching.

    Sunday will be attempting to run a pain free mile and then TWO easter dinners. Because you know what’s better than scalloped potatos? TWICE the scalloped potatos.

    Heading down to my Mom’s for a sleepover with my sis, her husband, and my 2 year old niece. I love our grown up sleepovers. Then we are having an egg hunt for my neice on Sunday, who was been practicing at day care. Little does she know that I have been training for a marathon and will totally find more candy than her.

    Thanks for the post on how to pick a good watermelon! I love them too!

    Totally agree on adding a full egg to the white. Tastes so much better!

    What’s your next race? Can I talk you into the La Jolla Half marathon in San Diego on 4/29? 🙂

    Every time I ask the produce guy (I mean he is supposed to be a pro) He thumps on the watermelon and it is rarely sweet. If I pick as instructed by you… It is amazing!! Thanks for the update. I am heading to Costco to get me a watermelon or two or hmm, how long do they last? Three??

    Seeing my new baby niece, going skiing (yes for reals), church, and salmon for Easter (I don’t do pork). I can’t think of a dessert I want to make though. Maybe we’ll skip dessert… Blasphemous.
