The Biggest Joke Food Has Played On Me

What Runners Eat

27 Sep

Hello! How was your weekend? How’s life? How’s whatever you’re eating right now? (I just finished off the last of the pumpkin puffins.) But before we talk about that, we should talk about PUPPIES!!!!

I went to my parent’s to eat all their avocados, but I had to fight Roxy for them. As soon as they fall from the tree the dogs grab ‘em!

Bailey likes ‘em too but not as much. I think he just get them because Roxy does.

I was sporting my new Shift Con tee.

Then, I got down and dirty with the puppies. They are crazy!

This morning I set out for a very challenging long run. I’m very ready for the weather to cool down. I only ended up hitting 11.5 miles and they were super slow. My legs and heart are very tired.

Pre-run I had those new pumpkin spice waffles. They are gluten free and super good. I also had Spark and iced coffee.

The morning was super foggy! It looks cool, but wasn’t.

After my run I had a MUST HAVE craving for watermelon and grapes. Oh, and salad. Is that weird?

Then, I got ready to go out and get friendly with a bunch of wine. It was a good time.

And there is nothing like getting fro-yo at the end of a long day. Nothing.

The pumpkin fro-yo is really good.

And for the joke of the year…

I found the coveted Pumpkin Puffins at Target last night. And 24 hours later they are gone.

I 100% realized I was going to eat the whole box pretty quickly. I love cereal and it’s my biggest weakness. Sometimes you just gotta embrace the craving and go for it. But I went to throw the box away right now and saw the nutrition info said each box has about 9 servings. NINE. 9. And I ate that in one day by myself. It happens.

Question: What was the BEST part of your weekend? Best food?

    I tried to go by pumpkin puffins last night at target and they were out. I broke down and bought 6 boxes from the website. For free shipping (and good measure), I added 4 boxes of the peanut butter puffins. The next time you are in Portland (if it is in the next 2 weeks…well maybe one…I am sure they will be gone fast) I am happy to share!

    The best part of my weekend was a toss up between Florida Blog Con and going to an adorable little theater to watch a play. Best food was the Tiajuana Flats tacos I got at FLBlogCon!

    Avocados are SERIOUSLY toxic for dogs!!! Please don’t let your pups eat them. Or grapes/raisins. Save the dogs!

      Grapes and raisins, yes. Avocados, however, are not toxic to dogs. They are toxic for birds and ruminants.

      I LOVEEEEEE cereal and when I buy it I just have to face the fact that I’ll eat the box in a day or two. It happens. I once at a Costco-sized bag of granola cereal in like two days and I think it had 30 servings hahaha

    watermelon and salad go together like lamb and tuna fish. Maybe you like spaghetti and meatball? Be more comfortable with that analogy?

    …and add a balsamic glaze to it…!

    You’ve got to stop encouraging my cereal habit!! 🙂 I had to run out immediately to buy the Pumpkin Puffins. But they fueled my run last night.

    I don’t really think I had a best food this weekend. But best time was spending the major part of Saturday with my nieces playing on the floor with their Shop-kins (addicting little pricey toys) that sell out in seconds at Target! Had them in fits of giggles and it filled my heart beyond measure! Good grief I love those little nuggets of joy. 😀

    Spent Sunday with my hubby doing kid sports stuff. He works many Sundays so just being able to do that together was a nice break. After 21 years it doesn’t take much to make us happy. 🙂

    I’m sad the PB puffins are gone. I’ll stalk my Target and let you know!
    Have a great week.

    The “best” thing from the weekend was that I completed my 80th Lifetime Half Marathon! Sadly, 2015 has been the #YearOfSlow for me but I need to remember that its also good to celebrate finish LINES and not just finish TIMES.

    The best thing I ate was the butter pecan cake with cream cheese icing that my husband made. I loved him and hated him for making it!!!

    Sometimes I definitely crave salad! I usually crave it when I’ve been eating unhealthily. It’s a weird craving to have but like the best one to give in to because it’s not making me fatter lol. Froyo at the end of the day IS the best. Now I’m craving some. Thanks.

      It’s been a while since I’ve talked about them here but I used to really struggle with binge eating . I don’t consider eating all the cereal binge eating. It is not ideal and definitely overeating, but not coming from a place that makes me worried about it.

    I had an AWESOME weekend!!! The best part, was doing Rugged Maniac on Saturday with my family and friends. We had a team of 8 and it was so much fun (dirty, but fun). Best food? Hands down, it was the autumn squash soup from Panera. OMG, so delicious. I came home and made my own really healthy version of it. Delicious. I just want you to know that I pay anywhere from $1 – $2 for an avocado. I love avocado and if my dog ate it, I’d probably cry.

    The best part of my weekend was catching up with friends and getting a nice long swim in. I also found out my AC has its own ballot for 8 London Marathon places so I can get entered into that 😀

    Food wise? ALL THE MELON.
