I slept in (well, sleeping in for me is 6am) and didn’t have time for the Push-ups Challenge exercises – I will do them after work. I made Ben a Green Monster this weekend and he loved it! He made himself another one this morning and left a little for me – I drank it as soon as I got…

Success! Just Kidding.
I wish I could tell you guys that I was successful at not eating while cooking, but that would be a lie. We all know that RER is not perfect, but at least she doesn’t lie. (Yes, I’m talking about myself as RER in the third person, sue me.)Â I need to stick with the plan! Gum while cooking, not…

One Waffle? WTF?
I don’t know what I was thinking by having just 1 waffle and a Green Monster for breakfast. That is not enough food for me. My RD has told me I need to eat more in the morning (and at lunch) to avoid overeating/binging later. Today is perfect example of why – I was hungry at 9am and can’t seem…

Snot Rockets
I have never been able to (or really ever wanted to) blow a snot rocket. Maybe I am a lady, maybe I don’t possess the snot rocket gene, but I can’t bring myself to do it. But, when I run – so does my nose. My answer to this is a folded up paper towel* tucked in my shorts or…

Fruity & Ruby
After a big, late lunch all I wanted for dinner was fruit! I cut up an apple, 2 kiwis and some watermelon. On the side I had a piece of cheese toast – this is one of my favorite savory things to eat. Normally I’m a sweets girl all the way. I have been having a very hard time randomly…

Day of rest & Raspados
I always Rest the day after a long run, but I can’t do nothing! So Ben and I took a walk after our initial test of the Push-Up Challenge. After church and errands I mentioned the Raspado stand that saved my life one day after I had been walking for an hour. Ben had never been there so we stopped….

Push-ups Challenge
Ben and I saw Julie and Julia last night. I liked it! I normally only like trashy comedies like The Hangover and the timeless classics like Tommy Boy. But, we both really enjoyed it. Maybe it was because I saw some of myself in Julie? And it made Ben happy to know that I am “normal for a blogger” and…

Happy Face
This is my happy face before my run this morning. I was determined to make this run good. After 2 bad long runs I have been really discouraged so I took a look at my training plan, fitness level, fuel, rest and pride and decided I needed to change some things up. I cut back on my mileage after coming…

Steak Prostitute
I am a “Steak Prostitute”. Let me explain…There is something I really really want to do and I kinda need Ben to agree with it before I do it so I needed to persuade him. I had it – a genius idea! Steak! Now, I know I am a hypocrite because I don’t eat meat*, but these are desperate times…
