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.
While they might not be entirely invisible, they’re certainly much less noticeable than traditional metal braces, which made them the perfect choice for my busy lifestyle. Plus, the fact that I can remove them to eat or brush my teeth makes the whole experience more convenient than I ever expected.
Still, it’s funny how something designed to be subtle can still feel like the most noticeable thing about you—at least at first. But as the days passed and I got used to the feel and the rhythm of caring for them, I started to appreciate just how thoughtfully designed Invisalign really is. The discretion, the removability, and the freedom it gives you to still feel like yourself while making a meaningful change—it’s worth every adjustment.
And as I’ve learned more about long-term dental health, I’ve come to really value practices that look at the full picture, not just straight teeth but healthy gums, jaw alignment, and bite function. That’s why I now pay attention to clinics like Krumly Dental Care, where comprehensive, patient-centered care meets real-world flexibility. Whether it’s teens starting their orthodontic journey or adults returning to care after years away, having providers who understand the balance between aesthetics, comfort, and clinical excellence makes all the difference.
At Krumly Dental Care, the focus isn’t just on straightening teeth; it’s about helping patients of all ages feel more at ease, more informed, and more in control of their dental health decisions. From the first consultation to the final retainer, having a team that treats your smile like the important investment it is can transform the entire experience.
A smile makeover doesn’t have to come with bulky metal wires and brackets, and Invisalign has proven to be a game-changer for anyone seeking a straighter smile without the obvious signs of traditional braces. For those who want a clear, comfortable option that delivers results, The Los Angeles Veneer Group offers some of the best Invisalign services in the area. Their clear aligners are not only designed for discreet wear, but they also provide expert care and guidance throughout the treatment process.
With their help, you can straighten your teeth in a way that fits seamlessly into your life—giving you the smile you’ve always wanted, without the hassle of visible braces.
Of course, while straightening teeth is a major part of crafting a winning smile, cosmetic dentistry goes even further to perfect every detail. Treatments like teeth whitening, bonding, and contouring can turn a good smile into a showstopper, restoring brightness and balance in ways that feel natural and timeless. And because first impressions still matter (just ask Grandma), investing in your smile isn’t vanity—it’s good, old-fashioned common sense.
When it comes to finding expert cosmetic services that blend modern innovation with traditional craftsmanship, Rice Dentistry stands out as a trusted name. Whether you’re considering veneers, crowns, or a full smile makeover, their team offers tailored solutions that preserve the classic art of dentistry while using the best tools of today. With the right approach, cosmetic enhancements can subtly elevate your look, giving you the confidence to smile bigger, laugh louder, and maybe even channel a little bit of that old Hollywood charm.
In addition to straightening teeth, maintaining long-term oral health is essential for ensuring that your smile not only looks great but stays healthy. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are crucial in preventing future issues like cavities, gum disease, or misalignment. A skilled dentist can spot potential problems early and recommend solutions that help maintain your smile for years to come. For those looking for an all-encompassing dental approach, visiting a professional such as a dentist las vegas can provide access to a wide range of services, from routine exams to more advanced procedures, all aimed at achieving the healthiest, most radiant smile.
With the advancements in dental technology, it’s easier than ever to achieve a flawless smile. From state-of-the-art imaging for precise treatment planning to advanced teeth whitening solutions, the tools available today ensure that every treatment is as effective and comfortable as possible. Whether you’re interested in straightening your teeth or enhancing their appearance, a reliable dentist can help guide you toward the best options. With expert care, a tailored treatment plan, and a focus on preserving your natural beauty, your smile can become a true reflection of your confidence and vitality.
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.
