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…

Shakes at the Mall
After church Ben dropped me off at the mall while he ran an errand. I walked around and around for almost and hour before he was back. By that time it was almost 2pm so we figured we’d have lunch. The whole time I was walking by myself everything looked so tempting, but I didn’t think I was hungry since…

Eating like I’m training
Today I did 8.77 miles very slow. Ugh, I don’t know what’s up with my pace lately 🙁 I was shooting for between 8 and 10 miles depending on how I felt. My knee started hurting around mile 4 and went away for a bit, then came back. I’m going to ice it in a bit. I guess I’m used…

Because I’m Mexican…
Because I’m Mexican I made Ben a killer quesadilla for dinner… after all Mexican food is my specialty 🙂 Because I’m Mexican, and have quite the voluptuous booty, means my quesadilla must be much smaller so I still fit in my pants… Because I’m Mexican I will not admit that the beans on this salad are from a can. My…

Kickin It
I loved kickboxing! It wasn’t difficult cardio wise, but it was a little challenging to learn all the moves that everyone else seemed to already know. I think my dance/cheer background helped me catch on fast though 🙂 I don’t know what it is but I feel hungry as soon as I leave the gym. I’m thinking it may be…

A purpose for diet bread
I found a great purpose for my old “diet” bread – French Toast! I’ve been craving it and fixing up crappy bread with a good egg mixture, PB and maple syrup was sure to make it good 🙂 I dipped three slices in egg whites, vanilla, cinnamon, splash of milk and chia seeds. Can you see the seeds? I had…
