Run Eat Repeat

My brother didn’t tell me, but he took the dogs to get groomed on Saturday. When I came home on Sunday I discovered my dog had a makeover. Roxy (on the left) got a full summer haircut. Bailey got a wash – he had never looked so white and shiny! When Roxy plays fetch with us Bailey chases her so…

So, I just went through my bank statements for the past month to break down how much money I spent on food. I don’t keep track of what I buy and I should have a better idea of where my money goes. Also, I use my debit card for everything so, I don’t actually see the cash leave me hand….

I know this is after the fact, but I do want to recap my meals for my vacation to see how I eat when I am off my schedule. Dinner was chicken, a roll and some mashed potatoes with a big salad with a bunch of good stuff including, mushrooms, tomatoes and cottage cheese. We celebrated the BF’s mom’s B-day…

I thought it would be a good idea to start my bikini wearing vacation by eating a Cinnabon. Luckily, I had the BF with me and was in a sleepy stupor so I just ate about 1/4 of it. Damage: 1 million calories. (I will look it up tomorrow.) The BF got some croissant sandwiches and I had a couple…
