I have an announcement to make – I am now I full time blogger! (I am obviously trying to look on the bright side of things.) I am definitely bummed about my job (or lack thereof), but I am moving forward and not going to dwell on it. In addition to blogging I will be writing for some other sites…

Back on Track
After a week while of indulging I am very frustrated with myself. I am constantly eating things I shouldn’t be — not because they are “Forbidden Foods” (I have released all foods to be allowed) but because I am eating because I’m tired, lonely, bored or out of habit. I really want to get back on track with the Intuitive…

Portable Restroom
Sunday morning we woke up and took a walk around Emily & Mark’s neighborhood in Portland, CT. It was so nice to get out and walk around after being in the car for so long yesterday. Before we went on the walk I ate Kashi with a banana and milk. I always bring cereal with me on road trips –…

Monica Does Connecticut
Have you noticed how I love writing suggestive titles? ‘Cause I do… My Saturday started with a 9 mile run. I changed my long run this week so we could get a early start to CT. So, I ended up doing 9 miles yesterday and 9 miles today. It is completely NOT the same as an 18 miler. But, next…

Like, I want to high jack someone’s garden hose thirsty. I ended up cutting my run short and doing 9 miles with walk breaks. I…

Soup, salad and bread thins
Soup, salad and bread thins – this title is inspired by Olive Garden’s “soup, salad and bread sticks” deal – but better. It’s better because I made my fave tomato and red pepper soup! I almost burned the house down! I spilled my sandwich thin upside down in the oven and all the cheese spilled off, spilled onto the bottom…

Lovely Lunch Date
I had a lovely lunch date today with Ben. He was attending a conference down the street from my work and met me for lunch at a local Thai restaurant. I love this place because of all the parasols that hang from the ceiling. I post a pic of it every time I come here 🙂 This is me wearing…

Escamocha
This rainy weather made me very happy to stay inside this morning. It is a rest day so I did some 30 Day Shred with Jillian and called it a workout 🙂 I was super rushed this morning because I overslept but I did have time to make a beautiful breakfast inspired by my old escamocha shop in CA. I…
