Hello! I don’t know what compelled me to buy blue eyeliner last week, but I decided to give it a test run today.
I thought it was a little weird at first, but I think I like it
I think the key is to make everything else neutral so you don’t look like a hoochie. But, if you are a hooch definitely lay it on thick – how else you gonna advertise?
Today we had a big end of summer party at work. I was signed up to do demos of my 2nd favorite piece of equipment – the Bosu!
Side Note Sharing: We were supposed to wear a different uniform because of the party, but I didn’t know. So, when I got there my boss tried to find me an extra shirt, but all she had were “Small”. Yeah, not going to happen (my original shirt was a Large). Then, my co-worker came in with the same problem and slipped the shirt on no problem. Story of my life.
It’s not a big deal, I just wanted to point it out because I’m always dismissed when I say something about wanting to lose weight or being bigger than my friends. I just don’t want my feelings to be discounted because I’m not unhealthy.
Anyways, back to the party… We had food
Before work I made an extra thick smoothie. I think I forgot how much water to add because it’s never this thick!
I topped it with cereals and called devoured.
Remember that HUGE loaf of bread I bought yesterday evening after Zumba? Yeah, I finished it off tonight. I also had some spaghetti and egg scramble, but the main event was the bread!It was the Roasted Garlic loaf from La Brea Bakery and I’m pretty sure I ate 9 cloves of garlic. I will happily reek for this bread.
Okay, I’ve gotta fold this pile of clothes I’m sitting on! See ya later.

I love La Brea bread, I could and would love to eat it with every meal!
Kristin says
I completely get the shirt thing! I work out way more than all of my friends but am still no where near as tiny. A few years ago when I did lose quite a bit of weight (from horrific eating habits I might add) a coworker randomly told me “Honey, you have latina hips and if you get any skinnier you’re going to look funny.” Umm, thanks?! Don’t know if it helps but it always makes me laugh 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I love that 🙂
Christina says
I think you look fabulous but I can understand that you might wish to lose some more weight regardless. Not everyone is meant to be a size small. I really do need to lose some weight but there is no way I will ever wear a small shirt. The girls need a lot more room than that… 😀
runeatrepeat says
Thanks Christina, I need to remember “Not everyone is meant to be a size small.” That really struck a chord with me 🙂

i love your blog, i have it in my rss reader and always like new things coming up from it.
Amber K says
lol, love the Jersey Shore comic.
Now that’s my kind of smoothie! I love adding avocados to my smoothies because it makes them thick like pudding. That’s what I’m talking about!
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Monica… I think you have a fabulous attitude regarding focusing on being healthy rather than skinny. If you’re healthy, I believe the rest will follow. I look it like this… running and eating well make me feel happy and energized which in turn makes me healthy and puts my body in a place it wants to be! 😀
That smoothie you made is like the perfect texture… looks like a green sundae!
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Adore that blue eye-liner on you by the way! I think you applied it just right! That is how I apply my boring everyday black eye-liner. I gotta switch it up someday haha
Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well says
The smoothie looks great! I’ve always drank mine out of a glass, but I might have to try the bowl with cereal method!!
What did you put in the smoothie?
Jennie @ Designed to be Fit says
I can never get my smoothies thick enough, but I’m too cheap to buy the Xantham gum! I might try the frozen almond milk cubes instead of just pouring it in…
Kelly @ Not So Rocky Road says
Love the new eye liner! Healthy & skinny are not even in the same category! Sure wish the media would catch up on that!! That smoothie looks divine but not as divine as that loaf LOL!
adriana says
What kind of blender do you have…please don’t say vitamix! 😉
runeatrepeat says
Not at all! Girl, you know I’m poor 🙂
It’s a plain ol’ Oster from Target or something!
adriana says
damn! my smoothies never looks as smooth as yours. im going to have to replace my blender soon so ill definitely look at oster brand in target.
Danielle @weightsandmeasures says
I have lost almost 60 lbs, but am still about 15 overweight and people get all shocked when I say that I am still wanting to lose. The goal is not skinny, but it is healthy. I just have to do what I have to do. I am not doing anything drastic to lose weight, simple healthy eating and exercise. No cause for alarm!
I like my smoothies thick too!
runeatrepeat says
“The goal is not skinny, but it is healthy.” <- Yes! Thank you 🙂
Amber K says
Same here! I have lost a substantial amount of weight and people get almost defensive when I mention that I like to tone up and lose a bit more. Geez, who knew getting healthy would be so controversial? 😉
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
LOVE a nice and thick smoothie…and eating it with a teeny-tiny spoon so it lasts longer! 😉 You look great with the blue eyeliner btw!
Tracy McLarney says
I must say that ecard in your post totally made me lol oh and you look cute with the blue eyeliner. Have a good day 🙂
runeatrepeat says
You have a good day too 🙂
Sara says
I feel the same way: I totally hate it when people disregard my feelings when I say I need to lose weight, then put on clothes that are three sizes smaller than what I can even pretend to try on (and by “people,” I mean my sisters). Although, I’m totally guilty of looking at your pictures and disregarding your feelings because I think you look great. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Thanks Sara, it’s nice to know someone else ‘gets’ how I feel (even if you are dismissive of me too!). Kidding 😉
Katy Widrick says
This thick girl appreciates that smoothie. I feel like I could jump through the screen and slurp it!
I’ve been rocking blue and gold eyeliner (not at the same time, although maybe that would be awesome?) because it makes me feel special on blah days.
runeatrepeat says
Now I kinda want to try blue and gold at the same time! Gold is actually my fave color to wear 🙂
Paige says
So what’s your 1st fav piece of equipment??:)
I almost got purple eye liner the other daybut they were out so I got khaki instead.
Jane @ Jane's Addictions says
I like your giant scoop of green smoothie. How can your blender even handle that thickness? I’ve got a Kitchen aid and it smells like burnt rubber when I blend something too thick.
runeatrepeat says
I don’t know how my blender handles it – because it’s not a fancy one at all! I’m sure it’s going to explode on me one day. But for now it powers through!
Lauren says
Bahah love the hoochie comment! he blue looks good on you!! I could eat a whole loaf of garlic bread 🙂 Yumm
runeatrepeat says
I’m pretty sure I did eat a whole loaf of garlic bread in 2 days! It was so good.
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
The eyeliner looks so nice on you.. it goes really well with your skin tone
Cassie @ Back to Her Roots says
New reader! Love your blog and love you. You are absolutely adorable!
I am totally the same way with shirts. When I saw photos of the stack of shirts at the HLS, it was very obvious the small and extra small piles were about a MILLION times higher than the larger sizes. It made me sad.
runeatrepeat says
Hi Cassie 🙂 Welcome!
Too bad we didn’t meet at HLS.
griselda says
I could not stop laughing at your reference to hoochies…or being a hooch. I love it! 🙂

Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
I totally get the shirt thing. All my friends are smaller than me and its tough when we’re shopping to see them pick out pants that I could never put on. But I also know a lot of my size has to do with muscle, so I’m kind of ok with it.
