There was a mix up with some stuff this morning plus Ben called in sick to work so I wasn’t able to leave for my run until 11am. That is super super late for me. By that time I was hungry so made a wrap with egg whites and ketchup before I left. Then, I was off on my 4…

Positive Post
Hello Hello 🙂 Sorry for the bummer (yet funny) post last night. I’m starting this day with a positive post to make up for it. In the spirit of Christmas I thought I’d show you my fabulous dollar store Christmas decorations… Here is my $1.00 Mistletoe. I hope this doesn’t relay the message to Ben that it only takes a…

F My Diet
Today was a diet disaster: The only things I took pics of were beans and an orange ( I didn’t eat the beans out of a can like some grizzly camper) . I also ate a ton of random crap. So, Intuitive Eating was a major fail today. I think somewhat because I was a glass case of emotion (jump…

Slippery Snow
Wow! I thought it was slippery after the rain. Nope! It was SUPER SLIPPERY today after it snowed this weekend. I felt soooo hardcore running with snow all around me this morning. Who am I? This California girl is out of place here, but I am slip-slopping along. I even put on my wool socks to keep my toes from…

Snowbirds

We were hoping for sunny beautiful weather, but it’s pretty stormy today. But that didn’t stop me from starting my day with a run. I did 5.3 miles in…

Out of My Element
After really struggling with running lately I’ve decided I’m just out of my element. I feel like I’m an African Lion. I do best in a hot, dry climate. A place that might be considered hellish for someone else works great for me! But then, I was kidnapped by some poachers and sold to a zoo in the Artic. And…

Coffee and Cigarettes
Lately the mid-afternoon slump has been hitting me hard. I have considered Ben’s suggestion of coffee and cigarettes, but am not sure smoking would help me with the whole “I’m training for a marathon” thing. So, for now I’m sticking to a caffeinated beverage and a B-12 tablet. I’ll let ya know if I take up DayQuil or something. Native…

Walka Walka Walka
Today I felt like Fozzie bear because I took a long “walk-a” 🙂 (image source) I actually love walking. It’s my second favorite form of exercise (after running of course!). I can walk for hours and just think about life, chat on the phone and observe the world around me. I have a lot on my mind right now and…
