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.

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…

Who Influences Who
I have been blogging for almost two years (!) and reading for longer. Recently, I have been thinking about how I am still so influenced by other blogs. A lot of it is good, I am grateful to Kath for her delicious oatmeal topping ideas and Roni for her honesty about maintaining her weight loss. While I love getting new…

Cleaning Up My Act
This post is going to be short because I really need to clean up around here. I feel like a messy home just makes me feel messy in general and out of control 🙁 So, I picked up some new cleaning supplies at Target today and I’m ready to clean up my act! Illness Update: The doc told me to…

Bread and Bars
This morning I wanted to do a little running before I hit up a strength class at the gym. Time was against me so I did 3 miles on the treadmill and hurried off. *Oh, I also sent my phone (used as an ipod) crashing to the ground at one point. Lame. Since I’m new to the gym, and it’s…
