Weight-loss Lesson #1: Don’t shop hungry! Because if you do you might end up buying dark chocolate Chex mix and eating half the bag on the way home. And then trying some in a cup with milk – yes I went there. If you shop hungry, you might also buy honey mustard pretzels and rip open the bag because that’s…

R.I.P Fishies
Before I get into the sad details of our dying fish… Breakfast was Pumpkin Oat Bran topped with PB and granola. I am curious how long oat bran without PB would keep me full because the combo really sits like a brick in my stomach. I am loving this pecan granola by the way… Marathon Training: 4.5 miles – I…

Portabella Burgers
I remember the first time I had a portabella burger. It was during freshman orientation at Whittier College (I ended up transferring after freshman year). I had recently decided to take veganism for a spin, but knew nothing about being vegan or even vegetarian for that matter. I remember being so impressed and almost awestruck by the flavor and meaty-ness…

Boxed Lunch & Pic with Meb
Today I had a boxed lunch. Luckily, it was boxed by me so it was exactly what I wanted 🙂 A tuna wrap, carrots and grapes. I also ate the apple of course. Jealous Much? My friend Rondell has a production company in California (how LA, right?). Meb aka “the best US male marathoner/NYC marathon winner” came to his studio…

Gear: Target Running Pants
This morning I took my new Target running pants for a test “run” – ha, get it? I am in serious need of cold weather gear since I never ran with capris or tights in California. I loved them! They were a little thicker than my other tights I got from a dept store (JC Penney?) and I like that…

Mint Chocolate Chip Yogurt

For the last year I have been considering going to grad school to further my career, I even took the GRE and filled out some applications. But after much thought I have decided to take some classes at a local community college to get more web knowledge – which is what I want more than anything right now. I’m back…

Uno Chicago Grill
Last night Ben and I went on a date that began with dinner at Uno Chicago Grill. I had never been there before but remember reading something about it in Women’s Health a while back. While we were waiting for a table a hostess brought us warm apple cider to enjoy. Love small touches like this! And it was cold…

18 miles and counting
I like to think of my miles as my children, so today you can call me Mrs.Duggar because I busted out 18 miles. While I know running is nothing like childbirth, I can’t help but get delirious around mile 14 and think up weird posts like this. I also enjoy finding ways to reference my vagina in my posts (see…
