Roni (Roni’s Weigh) had a link to My “No Diet” Diet – that is one person’s journey to Intuitive Eating. I love it. This article really shows how much of a scary process Intuitive Eating is after years of dieting. I feel like I could have wrote this exactly. It gave me chills it was so close to my own…

Empty Snack Drawer
Since I just started this job I haven’t brought any snacks to work that I just left there. I have been eating the snack, lunch and snack I’ve been taking. This is fine, until today when for some reason I brought a shitty bag of popcorn for an afternoon snack. Poor choice of snack Monica, seriously. But, earlier today I…

Two steps forward, two steps back
Today is a Rest Day so I hit up the apartment gym for some elliptical time like on those Nordictrack RW600 vs RW700. I am not all about the elliptical since I don’t get “lost” in the workout like I do with my runs so it’s kinda boring. I meant to make my 5 year plan during my workout, but…

AB and J All Day
On my run this morning I was planning what to pack for lunch today and all I wanted was a AB&J sandwich. That is no biggie, except what I planned on having for breakfast was Almond Butter toast (with a Green Monster). I kept trying to think up alternative lunches…big salad, cheese and hummus sammie, leftovers…nope. I wanted AB&J so…

As promised, I went to Ann’s House of Nuts today! This place sells nuts wholesale to the public. It is in Jessup, MD. Their prices are great and often when they are overstocked with something you can get it for super cheap! They don’t have a real website, but here is a link to their location info. This place is…

Spider Catcher
One time Ben wanted to give me some advice about running. He is not a runner, but I thought whatever he had to say might be helpful since he’s super smart:) Ben’s advice: “You never want to be the first runner of the day.” Me: “Why?” Ben: “Because then you’re the spider catcher.” Well, I was the spider catcher today…
