Hello! How’s it going over there? Over here it’s awesome because I was super productive yesterday and busted out a very big project that had been stressing me out. Yay Monican!
I get a thumbs up because I’m proud of myself

After the Tinkerbell Half Marathon on Sunday I stopped at 7-11 for coffee. Since Cindy spent the night I wanted to be a good lil host and make sure she had good coffee after our fun night too.
I grabbed a couple extra creamers including this Black Coffee Shot. It looks serious! Will I die if I drink it? The label says max 2 a day.

In super Sriracha news, I spotted this Sriracha ketchup at the store yesterday. The name brand version has high fructose corn syrup and this one doesn’t (plus it was cheaper) so I went with it. I had some on my eggs this morning – it’s good!

And you have to check out my Instagram for a very great food tip on this find…

And just when I thought Sriracha ketchup was going to be the highlight of my day I found out the Chinese buffet right by my condo lets you buy it to go and pay by the pound! YES!!! All my Chinese cravings will be fulfilled.

This morning I woke up and did a few exercises at home before heading outside for a run. We’ll talk about the app I used soon.

Post run I hit up Costco for a little snack…



I wish that was my cart! I just got eggs, lettuce and a watermelon. You know me.

Hold tight to the things you love…



You have such pretty hair! That’s surprising that the name brand had HFCS but the store brand didn’t; you’d think it’d be the other way around. That’s why it takes me so long to grocery shop!
I also tie things down in the passenger seat belt, esp the propane tank for my grill
The buckled up watermelon is a great idea! My neighbor picked me up one day last week, Thurs, and had a watermelon on the floor of the back seat…just rolling around while she drove. She said she had had it in there since the Monday before! She said every time she goes inside she has too much stuff to carry and won’t go back out to get it. The horror!! I thought about you and how sad you would be at this story lol.
Gorgeous locks, seriously. And yes to watermelon! They are just coming into a yummy season here. So exciting.
Yesterday I got a thumbs up for baking insane sweets for our oldest (working out of state) then shipping them to her along with a bunch of other surprises after only eating HALF of one. HUGE temptation resisted, haha! (Oreos wrapped in homemade chocolate chip cookie dough and baked to soft…still thinking about them…)
And for running late in the day even though it was smashed in between chores and cooking dinner, not when I usually like to run. Better weird than not at all.
Great post! Looking forward to reading more about that app.
I found Sriracha Hummus at my grocery store and totally thought of you!

I’ve seen that coffee shot before and it makes me nervous, too!! did you try it??
Gorgeous hair! That coffee would give me diarrhea. 😛 And the main reason why I don’t buy cantaloupe is because when I drive home from the store, the melon always somehow escapes the bag and rolls all over the floorboards. Rawr.
The buckled in watermelon just made me laugh out loud in the library like a crazy person. Thanks for making my day!
I get a thumbs up for getting up at 4 am and doing 150 wall balls, 150 box jumps and running over a mile in between.
I get a thumbs up for locking in my job for next school year AND for not snoozing my alarm. I actually woke up when I was supposed to wake up.
Happy Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday!!
I get a thumbs up for running in my lunch hour. I’ve not actually done it yet, but I’m quietly confident…
Did you do it?
Thumbs up for tackling a project at work I’d been delaying for days!
Good job!!
Would you recommend cardio (eg run) before or after a workout? I like to do mine before.
I think it depends on what / how much cross or strength training you’re going to do. Most people recommend it before since form is super important for a lot of exercises to avoid injury. I just try to squeeze it in where I can.
I’m going to give myself a thumbs up for teaching two classes and then getting a banana and nutella crepe after dinner. SCORE.
Thumbs up to me for a pretty killer spin class tonight. Love the buckled up watermelon! 🙂
Love pay by the pound Chinese fiod. Usually the induvidual dishes aren’t as good, but the fact that you can get a bunch of different ones at a time makes up for it
Yes! Being able to taste a bunch of things makes me happy.
I love your precious melon all strapped in for safety. Those lattice Costco fruit pies. Oh I love them so.
I get a thumbs up for keeping my cool at work today when I really wanted to tell a few coworkers a few things that were irking me. But seriously it’s not cool to play video games in the conference room when the boss isn’t looking. Grrr!!
