I literally had 10 minutes to make and eat lunch in between boot camp and meeting with the PT. So, I heated up my tempeh stir-fry from a few days ago. It’s like a hot salad – tons of veggies, sauce and tempeh all mixed up Only a few miles south on the free-way I pass the most beautiful hills…

Same-o Same-o
Happy Friday! I loved my breakfast from Wednesday so much I did it again today! Sometimes I feel like I change it up so I won’t bore you, but I am a creature of habit and actually love to eat the same things for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Anyone else like that? I guess what I’m trying to say is,…

Ask a Monican has bags under her eyes…
It’s true. Sad, but true. Ask a Monica 8 Questions: 1. Did you always like your red hair? 2. When are you getting knocked up? 3. What’s up with the Bodybugg? My afternoon snack was more amazing cereal. It’s exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, only easier to justify. Told you I shouldn’t have bought that cereal. At least it will…

Confession Thursday: Pickles and Popcorn
Confession #1: I am not pregnant. I just happened to crave popcorn and pickles for lunch today. Confession #2: I shared my salmon with Vegas. I’ll probably leave this can on the floor long enough to make most of you uncomfortable. Oh well. Confession #3: I like dogs more than I like cats. Don’t tell Vegas. Actually, this is a…

8.5 Hours Later
I feel so much better after 8 1/2 hours of sleep! I woke up this morning and jumped out of bed. I was going to skip a run today in favor of some strength training, but I had way too much energy. I ended up running 4.5 miles and felt great the whole time! It must have been all that…

Wacked Out Wednesday
Ben and I are in trouble. We went one night without sleep and were both complete messes today. We fought about coffee this morning, both snacked needlessly in the afternoon and now want to go to sleep at 7pm! When we have babies the likelihood of divorce and/or death is pretty high. Speaking of, I think babies need to hire…

Donut Holes and Detox
Last night’s lack of sleep inspired me to make a trip to the Whole Foods Juice Bar today for a pick-me-up. My favorite one is the “Detox”. (I sometimes get questions on good juices – I think picking one of their set combinations is always a safe bet.) I always request the wheatgrass on the side, but they forgot this…

CATastrophe
Last night we cracked the sliding glass door a little bit while we watched TV to let Vegas out. He likes to sit on the patio and monitor the neighborhood. A little while later he came back… And a little after that – another cat walked into our place! This is the third time this stray black cat has had…

Dealing With Defeat
When I was in fourth grade I got cut from the volleyball team and lost the student council election on the same day. I remember it like it was yesterday, the pain is still palpable. Our teacher announced the student council election winners losers mid-day. Then, I headed to volleyball try-outs after school where I was promptly given the second…
