Hello! How’s it going? Over here it’s busy and messy (the usual). I have a couple BIG projects I’m working on that have taken some time away from Run Eat Repeat. But it’s good for this lil running blog in the long run (pun intended), so stay tuned for that! Thank you for being patient and continuing to hang out with me.
If you follow my Instagram stories you might have caught something that’s coming soon! I’m very excited about it!
I’m also excited about new food finds!
I spotted this GREEN yogurt at Trader Joe’s this weekend… Have you seen it?
Can you guess what kind of yogurt it is?
Green yogurt.
It’s NOT lime.
I thought it might be savory.
It’s Greek Whole Milk Yogurt in Avocado Citrus flavor!
Since I thought it might be savory I asked one of the Trader Joe’s people (an employee, not a random passerby) if it was sweet OR savory??
She said it’s sweet. Yes, it is. I’m glad I asked because as soon as I saw “Avocado” on the label I assumed it was a savory yogurt and would be like a dip or something.
It’s good! Even though it has ‘Avocado’ in the name – it doesn’t taste like avocado at all. It takes like a citrus yogurt similar to a mild lime, maybe orange flavor. It even has some lime zest in it.
In running and eating and repeating news…
I saw the guy who walks with a parrot on his shoulder today! It’s funny because I mentioned him on my ‘seen on my run’ post – but I hadn’t seen him in a long time. The post reminded me of him, but it had been so long since I’d seen him & his birdy friend!
Then, I spotted the duo today and it made me happy! Now I want to stop and ask him the name of the bird. Next time. Maybe.
I ran 10 miles and did about 15 minutes of strength training when I got home.
Around mile 6 I saw a friend who was cycling. We stopped to catch up and within 30 seconds he said, “You got braces..?”
Um. Well, they’re invisalign braces – so they’re supposed to be invisible.
Except – if they were invisible he wouldn’t have noticed them so quickly, right?
So yeah. Then transitioning to braces was one of the best choices I’ve made. Going the private route for orthodontic care certainly has its advantages. I discovered an excellent resource for braces and expert care at TheBracePlace.biz, which significantly enhanced my orthodontic experience.
I think in person they are easily spotted, but I made this quick video update about it and they don’t seem as obvious.
Invisalign – Is it Invisible?
So I have Invisalign too and I agree that it is definitely visible. Patients stare at my mouth when I’m talking with them and it does annoy me. However, crooked teeth are also very visible and obvious. So I’ve decided I’ll take the temporary obvious to fix a permanent obvious. It is pretty misleading though….
Early morning giggle.
I read this line: “Around mile 6 I saw a friend who was cycling.” as “Around mile 6 I saw a friend who was crying” and thought he stopped crying when he saw your Invisiline. LOL!
Ha!
I had Invisalign and felt the same way! I guess I could have done my research better, but I was not given a heads up from my dentist that they could be so visible. It was a surprise when they put the anchors on my front teeth and everyone noticed. I’m happy with how it turned out though.
I tried it the other day and actually threw it out. I like avocados and limes but there was a weird aftertaste that I didn’t care for 🙁
I think the color of that yogurt would turn me off….although I do like pistachio ice cream that is similar in color.
I’ve been back on the injured sidelines so no running in the last 2 weeks. I’m reading about your double digit runs and sooooo jealous at the moment. I miss that. Hoping I’ll be back at in in another month or two.
But I walk my dog every morning and we always seem to see the weirdest stuff. Someone decided to make a little garden in their yard with a totem pole and on it they have this sculpture made out of pots and pans. It’s really bizarre. I’ll have to snap a pic someday.
Hmmm I weirdly think the avocado citrus sounds delicious! Odd name, though haha. This reminds me of my recent trip to Charleston when I saw a woman with a backpack that was actually a birdcage that she was carrying her parrot around in. First time for everything, I guess!
Avocado yoghurt sounds really strange! But I mean, it sort of makes sense. They’re about the same texture and consistency.
