Yoga in the afternoon and wine at night while playing my favorite slot game make for the most relaxing evening. My yoga class was a level 1 and it was really good! Sometimes the Level1-2 classes are too challenging to be enjoyable. I can’t imagine how difficult the Level 2 classes are! After class I had some time to kill…

Off to yoga
Hey, I am off to yoga right now so I just wanted to post some recap pics of lunch and snacks. I was very snacky this morning after I couldn’t get full from breakfast, apparently I need to read last nights post about snacking again! Here is a wordless recap… Today’s snacking – I’m gonna take some time to think…

Road Run
I have a set little route I run on Wednesdays. It’s about 7.5 miles out and back and it’s great because there are only 3 lights (each way) for the entire time! But, the city (?) has been doing road/sidewalk construction for the last 2 weeks. There is no sidewalk on the other side of the very busy street so…

Nomad Monica
I must have come from some kind of nomadic tribe because I cannot stop walking. Even though I ran this morning all I wanted to do when I got home from work was take a long walk. I think part of it clears my mind and I’m pretty stressed with wedding/life/work/etc right now, so it helps 🙂 I managed to…

Stop "bodering" me & my Irish identity
My stomach hurt when I woke up this morning 🙁 I tried to stall my run as much as I could, but I couldn’t wait any more so I took off for an easy and slow 6 miles. Today was going to be a few 800m repeats, but there is no way my stomach was going to let me push…

What'd you call me?
Dinner was Whore’s Plate. I don’t know if that’s really what it’s called, but my Cuban friend, Adriel, told me this. A while back I made this dish and he said that his grandma called it a “Whore’s Plate” in Spanish. It’s just rice with a fried egg on top – nothing fancy. He says they called it that because…

Tap N' Apple Lunch
Instead of PB&J I made a PB& Tap n’ Apple sandwich for lunch. Have you tried this stuff? It is just apples & apple cider mashed together. It’s not as sweet as my usual – pumpkin butter though. It tastes like apple sauce actually. Before the sammie I started with a salad with TJ’s spicy peanut dressing – this is…

This is your foot on running…
This is my foot. This is my foot on dropping a can on my big toe and running a marathon. Any questions? My blue toe is still tragically blue (actually it got a lot worse) and now my middle toe nail has turned a sad shade of black and will not be with us for much longer. The middle toe on…

Soup, salad and challah
We had a very productive afternoon that included wedding errands. We picked out Ben’s tux and the groomsmen tuxes too! Sometimes this wedding stuff is fun 🙂 Ben had to use a pair of “manny-hose” to try on the shoes! Ha. After tux picking and a trip to Michael’s Craft store we took a walk. I love that he is…
