I started today with an easy 20 minute walk/run… Ben is on Week4 of the Couch to 5K program. Right now we’re doing 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 run/walk intervals depending on how he feels. He’s up to 2 miles now! Yesterday we got a great Valentine’s Day package from his parents! They sent us a bunch of…

Love Mug
In honor of Valentine’s Day (and my Valentine) I had a mid-afternoon smoothie in my favorite mug. I got a set of Mr. and Mrs. mugs when I visited Disney World last April. Unfortunately, Ben’s broke on the trip home and I’ve been sad about it ever since. I refused to use my lonely mug until today. But, I’m still…

Flowers or Candy
Happy Valentine’s Day! I started my day with chocolate. Well, it was chocolate coffee I attempted a tempo run this morning, but the hill out killed me. At least the way back was a breeze. I’m convinced I live in a ditch and it’s hard to get away, but easy to roll run back. When I got back I…

Happy Birthday Mom
Tomorrow’s is my mom’s Birthday! Happy Birthday mom! A little background on my mom = she’s the person who birthed me. I’ve known her almost since I was born(in case you didn’t put that together). She’s Mexican and had a red-headed baby, which makes her weird. I mean awesome. We celebrated today because of work stuff tomorrow. I cooked up…

Sore Loser
I am sore from Bootcamp on Friday. But I loved it. I don’t think it fits in with my schedule long term, but I will try to catch it again at some point I am a loser because I ranted about how I refuse to refrigerate my condiments on Tuesday. And today when I grabbed the maple syrup for…

This is what I call…
This is what I call… an Everything and the Kitchen Sink Salad. Cheetos, chickpeas, hummus, veggie mishmash…yep, it’s in there. This is what I call the world’s 2nd best yogurt. You know, after Pineapple Chobani I call this my attempt at a fancy restaurant salad that fell flat because I used cheap dressing. Fantastic. This is what I call…

Back To The Beach
I had plans to meet up with a running group in Huntington beach this morning so I fueled up with a PB&J sandwich and coffee. This is part of the reason I may be changing my schedule. The group isn’t doing long runs on weekends so I will have to do them on a different day. Then, I was off…

Schedule Re-Do Be Do Be Do
I had the biggest craving for Pineapple Cottage Cheese today and made a special trip for it. This, with a PB&J, complied my afternoon snack. It was a big snack. Tonight’s dinner included Meatloaf Cupcakes with a special red icing called ketchup. Things have been pretty wild behind the scenes here in RERland. It looks like I’m going to have…

Easily Influenced
I am a sucker. I see something advertised on TV and I want it. I see someone try a new flavor of yogurt/cereal/other and I want to try it too. Ben calls me a “marketer’s dream” every time I exclaim that I MUST HAVE xy or z. Don’t even get me started on seeing “New!” on a product at the…
