When You Eat a $30.00 Box of Chocolates and Just Slide It Into a Post Like No Big

6 Jan

Hello! I’m super behind on life, liberty, work, eating, repeating and stuff so this is going to be heavy on the pictures and light on the words. Luckily I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on work and email very soon. Since sometimes I life cast about my lil day to day I thought I’d share an average day in the life of your Monican when she’s in Florida.

First… I have a little fuel before my run.

banana and peanut butter (450x800)

Then, I RUN and run and run and run.

Today I saw birds and beauty.

Then, it was time to EAT. I try to keep breakfast the same as home when I’m traveling. It helps keep my blood sugar happy, my belly full and my overall sanity at peace. There was a ton of PB added to this.

oatmeal and all the stuff (800x450) eggs for days (800x450)

And since my toe is broken I iced it in the pool. It’s actually been cooler here so the pool water is fairly cold.

I drink a ton of iced coffee while here because it’s so good and I love it.

Said hi to Rufus…

Then, I got to work. I’m reviewing this Slendertone belt soon and have a few other projects I needed to take photographs for and respond to some time sensitive emails. It’s hard to work when you’re in paradise, but I’ll take it!

Lunch time! Weird salad plus 2,000 calories worth of cashews.

We had some afternoon visitors – Doug and his owners.

Dinner was some food. But the main event were these super FANCY chocolates! Look at them – they’re like art. Beautiful and DELICIOUS art.

    The highlight of my day was going to Costco and Target all in the same day! And my mom eye glasses finally came in so I am no longer blind McGee

    running close to the beach looks so nice. galveston beach is about an hour from me but its yucky and the air smells bad so a hard pass on running at that beach. those chocolates look so pretty, did they taste just as good as they looked?

    I have been eating cashews like they are going out of style!!! I am on a sugar detox and they are my go-to snack right now. And those chocolates look like stones you would find tucked away in a cave.

    The best part about my day was NOT running and doing yoga instead. I’ve been in a running rut since my ultra. I guess there is truth to the saying that you can have too much of a good thing.

    Those chocolates look amazing. I got given a box of (not just quite as nice as yours) chocolate today, but managed not to eat it. These new year’s resolutions are killing me lol

    Your run looks lovely. We just get rain every day at the minute.
