I had to wake up super early because I’m going into D.C. today. I’m covering an event at the National Press Club – doesn’t that sound fancy?! I didn’t really make time for exercise this morning (and was feeling kinda sleepy and lazy too). But I am planning on a yoga class tonight 🙂 I really wanted a filling breakfast…

Won’t Power Instead of Will Power
I think it’s weird that we call it “willpower” when it’s usually “won’t power” we are aiming for. It took all my “won’t power” today to keep myself from NOT buying a DD coffee! I had to tell myself I won’t buy one today. It takes a lot of “won’t power” to avoid the office candy dish too. I think…

A Little Help
I recently reached out to Heather, from Heather Eats Almond Butter, for some advice. A while back I read her post on “Confessions of a former Runner” and it really struck a cord with me. I love running. Love it love it. But, it has been in the back of my mind that high mileage is making it hard for…

Let All Flowers Bloom
I heard this phrase, “Let all flowers bloom“, on the radio this morning and I really liked it. I have been getting a little frustrated that all my hard work isn’t paying off as well as others around me (Read: I’ve been getting a little jealous). I feel really guilty when I am jealous of others because I should just…

Big Package
I love big packages 😉 Some say that great things come in small packages, but those people obviously haven’t had a real big package specially delivered to them. Do with that information what you will. Today I had this BIG package waiting for me on my doorstep! I won a contest a while back from Nature’s Path for a cereal…

Obstacle Course & 1001 Posts!!!
It rained pretty hard last night and was still sprinkling this morning so the sidewalk was an obstacle course this morning. I was dodging puddles and mud the whole way. It actually was kind of fun 🙂 It kept my mind working and focused on the run the whole time. I actually don’t know how far I went since my…

Yoga 1
I went to Yoga 1 tonight. I haven’t been to a yoga class since July, before we moved out here. I used to go to a great studio in Irvine and would take Yoga 1 or Yoga 1-2. It was fun and challenging. So, I figured since it’s been a while I should stick with Yoga 1, but this class…

Home Snacking
Life Realization #1: Working from home is hard, not because of the long commute to the office, but because of the short commute to the kitchen! I ended up calling out of work today because the car thing took a long time and then I found out I had a problem with my paper due tonight. So, I ate this…

Hot “cold” Cereal
I am picking up my car this morning so I got to run a little later. It was so nice to be able to run when the sun was up – and it’s a little warmer! I did 6 miles at a good pace 🙂 I felt really good too! I wanted cold cereal for breakfast, but it’s so cold…
