The sun was shining bright for my last day in California!!! It was an absolutely gorgeous day and Ben and I were totally basking in the sun. My mom and I took the dogs for two walks 🙂 I’ve been in Maryland so long and only wearing two pairs of pants that I forgot girls are supposed to shave their…

Sunday Cereal
Sometimes a simple, cereal breakfast is the best. I mixed up Special K Protein cereal, Kashi Might Bites and Shredded Wheat with some leche. The only problem was I was hungry again after an hour. Fail. Note to self: Eat some fat with breakie or you’re headed for a breakie down 🙂 Then, we took a nice walk with the…

Out to Lunch
Right when we were about to eat lunch my Nino and Nina called and invited us to lunch at Sizzler. Far be it for me to turn down a salad bar, so I was all over that. But, since it was noon and Sizzler wasn’t until 2pm, I needed a snack… I had chickpeas, fruit tuna with crackers. Random, maybe….

Wet Walk
It’s the El Nino! I can’t believe how much it has been raining in SoCal! Luckily the rain let up for a bit and my mom and I took the dogs for a walk. When we got back I made banana oatmeal and topped it with dried fruit and Smart Balance PB (which I do not think is good). The…

Roll With It
I got a foam roller!!! I haven’t used it yet, but I’m about to 🙂 I am full on going to have to take this as a third carry-on on the trip back to MD (I hope they don’t give me the business). I made a couscous salad to go with the guacamole (which I consider the main course!). It…

You Don’t Have to Run
The first thought that went through my head when I decided to take a week off of running was, “Oh no! I’m not going to be able to lose weight now!” But, I know that is not true. You don’t have to run to lose weight. I actually first started losing weight by walking. I took walks with my friend…

Two Miles
This morning’s run was a major fail. First, it started to sprinkle as soon as I was ready to leave and then my knee started to hurt around 1.35 miles and I stopped running at two miles. Boo. It pretty much stops hurting as soon as I stopped running so I walked home fine. The only reason I went on…

Nine and Nine in Nine
First, a picture from my drive today… It was absolutely gorgeous in So Cal 🙂 Last night I was lamenting to Ben (yes, I lament – what, you don’t?) that I, after taking a few days off for my knee’s sake, want to get faster and fitter and thinner. I told him I found a half marathon in MD that…

Not Depressed
I think I have been living in a constant state of depression and didn’t even realize it! Because I am way too happy right now. I’m happy to be outside and not wearing five layers, see my dogs, smile, thaw out… I could go on 🙂 My mom faked me out with Greek yogurt in the fridge, I got excited…
