Since the Disney Marathon I have been itching to plan my next race. I’m signed up for the Surf City Half, but that’s going to be more for fun since I’m still recovering from the full. Then, I got an email for a discount code for the Suntrust National Marathon and Half March 20th. It must be a sign, so…

Fitness Assessment
This morning I had an appointment at the gym for a fitness assessment. Before I left I ran 3 miles on the treadmill at my apartment’s gym. My knee is still bothering me 🙁 I made a quick smoothie to drink on the way – it had spinach, protein powder, ice, water, chia seeds and a splash of juice. The…

Sushi and Trader Joes
After my massage I went to Trader Joes and came out with two new finds. I think this first one is going to make you jealous… Crunchy Salted Almond Butter with Flax Seed. This may change my life. I had half of one of these muffins on the way home. 🙂 I was craving sushi and Ben thought it was…

How I Met Ben and Lunch
I thought it was weird that even though I ate a huge bowl of oatmeal around 10:30am, I was hungry for lunch at 11:30am?! Then, I realized it’s because I ate breakfast so late that I was hungry again. I had been up since before 6:30am, ran 5.8 miles and didn’t eat a full meal until 10:30am = a very…

Running Vest and Chickpea Casserole

It worked perfectly! Before I left for my run I ate a small bowl of cereal. I knew I would be stalling for…

I am totally digging all these questions from my anonymous question form. I’m going break up my answers in different posts because I don’t want it to get too boring… Question: How do you remain so positive? Monica: Ouch, are…

My Diet Book
*Note – some of the answers to your anonymous questions are in this post. But more formal answers for the rest of the questions are to come. It’s only day two of the meal plan I set up for myself this week and I already realized it’s not working. I usually aim for 1,800 calories when I am trying to…

Burnt Toast
I like my toast (and brussel sprouts) burnt, but today I went a little far with it! It’s okay I still ate and enjoyed it 🙂 I made cinnamon sugar toast and had an egg fluff on the side for protein. I also munched on some blubes while making coffee and burning the toast. I used half an english muffin…

Diet GPS
Even if you don’t have a GPS you have probably been in a car at one time with one. If so, then you know what happens when you go the wrong way… Suddenly Tomtom (or whoever is directing you) says, “What the hell you loser?! I told you to go left, why did you go right?! You are stupid…” No….
