Run Eat Repeat

Ready Set Go

19 Sep

Hello! I was slammed all day and worked through lunch (I try not to do this or I get crazy). Mid-afternoon I had my favorite snack of the week – cereal and almond milk. IMG_7825 (800x533)

Someone asked recently if I was growing out my bangs since I keep pinning them back. Nope, I just haven’t gotten them trimmed in way too long Sad smile 

Well, I finally got them trimmed today. I’m pretty excited about it since I have a five head instead of a four head…image

I threw together dinner based on the things I needed to use up before they go bad – chicken breasts, mushrooms and green beans. I cooked up the chicken in the pan and added the beans and mushrooms and seasoned them like green bean fries. Served with TJ’s shells.IMG_7819 (800x533)

Now I’m all packed up for my trip! Well, at least I think I am – I always feel like I’m forgetting something and have the most unsettled feeling on the way to the airport.  <- someone needs a drink IMG_7830 (800x533)

Well, a drink or some ice cream. I can’t decide. IMG_7833 (800x533)

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I don’t mean to be Debby downer, but MSNBC recently did an exposé on low cal ice creams and arctic zero was a big offender. Supposedly it has up to 68 percent more calories than it states. I’m not saying eat it or don’t eat it, but when I’m trying to make good food choices, I don’t want some food manufacturer lying to me! You can google it and decide for yourself. Maybe it’s so good that it’s still worth the potential extra calories anyways!

      I just trim my own bangs between haircuts. Not that I’m good at it or anything. I just never get my act together to go to the salon and I hate having them in my eyes.

      Always feel like I am forgetting something when I pack. Hate that feeling! On the booze vs. ice cream front I would have to vote booze only.

          It got to 80 today but it’s not a very warm 80 because it’s so cold in the morning! This weekend is supposed to be beautiful!

      Hey, how does that Arctic Zone taste? I’m always looking for a healthy low cal replacement to the daily supplement addiction of ice cream or yogurt I tend to battle.

        What kind of beer did you use? I hear beer floats made with Guinness are yummy. I wouldn’t do it with a lager or pilsner, though.

          it was a cheap lager… honestly may have been the grossest things I have ever tried to eat/drink. I can see with a guinness it might be nice, you definitely have to have a good beer to start with for it to even have the potential to be good… that was my downfall 🙂

        It doesn’t taste like ice cream, more like a frozen protein shake? Now I love it!

      Arctic Zero is awesome! I’ve never had the Mint Chocolate Cookie flavor, is it any good? Also – I don’t like how they have “cookie” in the title because it makes me think that there will be cookie bits mixed in, but I’m assuming it doesn’t because the Cookies and Cream flavor doesn’t… :/

      I do the same thing with my bangs. I usually wear them straight across but I like them to be pretty long which means I need a trim every few weeks. I usually end up getting lazy and pin them back for a few weeks until I finally decide to go get them trimmed. So annoying but I’m not willing to grow them out. I love your blog!
