Today was a rest day from running for me, and Ben wants to start exercising regularly. We only had about 20 minutes today before he had to start getting ready for work, but that’s better than nothing! So, we went for it and spent 20 minutes on the elliptical 🙂 If you only have a little bit of time to…

Picky Picky
While I don’t think I’m a picky eater, I do think I’m a picker. Not a nose picker (well, sometimes), but a food picker. I am always grabbing a bite of this or a handful of that. Needless to say much of this goes undocumented 🙁 My afternoon snacks were a handful of Kashi crackers (on sale at Target), a…

What is that?
I bet you’re wondering what this is… I had a bit of a pancake disaster this morning. I made my usual “throw random ingredients in the blender” pumpkin pancake recipe and the first one came out great! But, the batter seemed a little thick so I added some more almond milk. That made them too runny and impossible to flip….

Fancy Eggnog
My eggnog is fancy because I’m drinking it out of a champagne glass. I just got this very fancy glass for $.98 because I love champagne, but am constantly breaking glasses 🙂 I don’t know why Ben is so shocked that I’m drinking eggnog? Dinner was TJ’s black bean soup pimped out with added kidney beans and corn. Then, I…

Cafeteria Style
I went to a smallish Catholic school from 1st through 12th grade. Yes, I was a Catholic School girl, see… Anyways, I never had a cafeteria and always felt like I missed out. I actually say that I love cafeteria food because of this – I think I have convinced myself it’s good in my mind. Well, I fell in…

Phase Two: Observation (Over)
Hello hello! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I had a day of crappy eats and didn’t really want to own up to it. By crappy I mean Chinese take-out and drinking eggnog out of the carton. Guilty as charged 🙂 I ordered Pei Wei and for some reason I ordered it extra spicy and it was killer! I loved it…

Two Crazy New Finds
I came across two crazy new food finds today. I love trying new food 🙂 Can you guess what the first one is? Here is a picture: Did you guess Salt & Pepper Fava Beans? If so, you’re right! The other find isn’t as crazy, but I’m crazy about it! Kashi has a new cereal out – Go Lean Crisp….

Rockin’ the Side Braid
I can’t figure out what to do with my hair since I need to wear a beanie when I leave the house. But, often want to take it off when I get to the store. So, today I’m rockin’ the side braid. It’s a new look for me, but I’m going to roll with it 🙂 I swear, I wish…

This is Why I’m a “Half” Girl
When the mileage gets up to the 18s, 19s and 20s I start thinking of runs as work instead of fun. I really enjoy weekend long runs of 13 miles or so, but once it gets past that – I dread them. I really hate this because I love running. I have never “made myself” run – I do it…
