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
This morning I added another layer to my running gear – a vest! This isn’t actually meant to be a “running” vest per se, but I needed something else to keep me warm without making me overheat. It worked perfectly! Before I left for my run I ate a small bowl of cereal. I knew I would be stalling for…

Questions, Comments…
My seventh grade science teacher would always say, “Questions? Comments? Complaints keep to yourself.” Ha, I love saying that now. 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…

I also munched on some blubes while making coffee and burning the toast. I used half an english muffin…

Mexican Meatless Monday – Mexican Pizza
For this installment of Mexican Meatless Monday I wanted to do a Mexican take on one of my favorite foods – Pizza! Pizza actually might be my all time favorite food and I love trying new kinds. For this version I used a whole wheat pita as the “crust” and leftover refried beans as the “sauce”. Then I topped that…

A Different Speed
One of my current goals is to get faster! I really want to break 4 hours in the marathon, but I have actually gotten slower in the past year rather than faster?! I don’t really like speed work, but I think it’s because I haven’t given it enough of a chance. This morning I tried a speed work-out on the…

Cookies and Milk
The highlight of my day is def the cookies and milk I am currently enjoying. Is that sad? No. Because cookies and milk freakin’ rock. I used the cute tea cup and saucer for my treat. Today was a really weird day eating wise. I could not get full at all, then finally got too full when I came home…
