Last week Iron Girl and Fitness Magazine put on a presentation with Nutrition and Training Tips for completing your first or fiftieth Triathlon. They sent over a copy of the PowerPoint presentation and I want to share some of the information with you. I actually have never done a triathlon, but was super close in the past. In college I…

Labels
I hate labels. I don’t want to be grouped in with anyone except other “Red-headed Mexicans named Monica Melinda Olivas”. I am in my own group and would prefer not to be labeled into another. The only reason I call myself a “pescatarian” is to avoid having to answer questions about the lack of meat on my blog (or while…

Scrambled Pasta
This afternoon I ate a PB&J Larabar with the fruit. I forgot and had to dig this out of the trash. Trash picker! Yes I am. I had been craving scrambled eggs all day, but it’s not something anyone else will eat for dinner usually. My mom “suggested” making pasta – and by suggested I mean “told me to make…

Interview and Lunch Date
Today I had another interview and this time it was pretty close to where Ben works so we decided to meet up for lunch. We hit up a local Thai place we meant to try before we left CA, but never got the chance at the time. I love that they have decently priced lunch specials that come with soup,…

A Real Snack
I have admitted in the past that I have the worst habit of snacking. I snack mindlessly in the kitchen when I’m cooking, on the phone, thinking, hungry, full, bored… You get the idea.This afternoon I was feeling a little hungry so I decided to make a “real snack” of the things I was grazing. I combined fruit (banana, blubes,…

11 Mile Run in Long Beach
Happy Weekend! Last night I was really looking forward going on a long run this morning. I headed to my old stomping grounds in Long Beach for a run. But first, I had toast with PB&J. I have been bringing my hand held water bottle for these mid-length runs. Once I increase mileage I’ll wear my fuel belt. I…
