Hello! I am hanging out at my parents’ place today. The Roxican needs to go the vet and I wanted to love up the puppies and eat all their food.
Let’s talk about RUNNING!
I ran this morning. It’s one of my healthy addictions, but an addiction still. I did a short speed session with 800s. I need to get back on plan to train and take rest days. Lately I’ve been back to running whenever and whatever I feel that morning. It was nice for a while and what I needed for my soul, but now it’s time to get back to running with a purpose.
Then, I ate a whole watermelon. But it was a little one. I got it from the 99 Cent Store and it wasn’t super sweet
On the way to my mom’s I heart that country song “A Woman Like You”. Then, I listened to it five times in a row.
I would have kept listening to it the whole way but I remembered that I never just like things like a normal person – I am either 1000% obsessed or don’t care. Black or White. LOVE or don’t even know it exists.
Which brings me to my other obsessions as of late. ..
Serial and Undisclosed.
Spark. Every afternoon. If I know I’m not going to be home I have a packet with me. I’ve been drinking it before long runs too.
Generation Why podcasts. (These haven’t changed my life like Serial though.)
Those whipped greek yogurts.
PUPPIES!!!!
It’s funny that I’m not a big casual hugger, but I do really like to love up on animals and babies.
I am obsessed with Serial too. I haven’t gotten into Undisclosed but I may have to give it another try.
Nugo bars…and it needs to stop because they cost $2.12 a piece.
I’m the same with Quest bars!
YES to Spark! I packed a bunch when I flew to San Francisco over the weekend and got judged HARD by my host for the smell of the watermelon flavor… but he shut up real fast when he saw how much better I felt after our Soul Cycle class! That stuff is like crack.
My other obsession this week is my afternoon snack of cottage cheese with some pesto mixed in. My basil plant is growing like crazy so I’ve got pesto for days around my house, and it is an awesome savory addition to cottage cheese. Super yummy with red peppers or cherry tomatoes.
I’m also addicted to running, but there are worse addictions to have!
My recent obsession: also puppies. My parents may be getting one this week!
I just became super obsessed with the on my iPhone and have been using it to start some writing projects I’ve been putting off. I have an idea for a business book and a novel and the dictation makes getting my “stream of conscious” stuff on paper soooo much easier. I paired that with Evernote and now I feel like I’ll be able to make some massive progress on both.
Also obsessed with Serial. In fact, I haven’t been able to run without it lately. I don’t know what I am going to do when it’s over. I’m also obsessed with etsy right now. My bank account hates me.
Definitely some podcasts are an obsession right now – Freakonomics and This American Life. Also tearing up an “older” series of books – the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly.
Those puppies are so darn cute!
I’m totally into the Bad4Business Podcast. It’s done by Jerry Ferrara (Entourage fame) and it’s great! I also like listening to Aisha Tyler’s podcast, Girl on Guy! It really makes me feel like a better smarter person.
Puppies!!!!!!!! I totally ignore babies in strollers, but if I walk by a puppy or any dog, really, I lose my shit. 🙂
Same. I feel like it’s so cliche for a girl to gush over a puppy but I can’t help it 🙂
I am obsessed with the sun shine. I only have so much summer left to sun it and lighten it up . Bring on the sun and lighten up my blond hair.
You have turned me into a crazy person with Serial. I’m a huge podcast listener but that one and Mystery Show are the.best.ever. I only allow myself to listen to those while running, not driving or cleaning, so it’s an incentive to get out there and git ‘er done. Now I learn there is more…. Undisclosed?! Gotta run!
Monican I am obsessed with serial and undisclosed right now too!!! Can’t stop thinking about it. I need more friends to get on my level so we can have long in depth discussions about it!! I also just listened to the most recent episode of Serial Dynasty and it’s worth a listen. It’s the only episode I’ve listened to because rabia recommended it on Twitter. You might enjoy it. But for real I wish i lived in California do we could have a run and discus serial theories the whole time!!!
I’m obsessed with podcasts in general and mango (just tried it the other day so good!).
Hi Monica! What do you do with not-so-sweet watermelons? Do you still eat them anyway? I loathe to juice them and then add sugar. Anyone out there with ideas/suggestions?
I just made kale chips for the first time ever. I think I ate the entire bunch of kale by myself. It was wonderful! Must.have.more.kale.chips!
Have you ever had a yellow watermelon? I tried one for the first time this past weekend. It was very interesting!
I am obsessed with cycling. I’ve been super busy with work this week, so I haven’t been out in a few days and it’s all I can think about!!!! Gotta get my ride on!
I LOVE Serial. I cannot wait to hear how Adnan does – I think he needs to be released – that case sounds all kinds of fishy.
Yeah, I feel like one of the law students said it best ‘mountains of reasonable doubt’ or something like that.
I’m unfortunately obsessed with baking. I made the best rice Krispy treats ever…so tempted to eat the whole pan
I want one!
These mini ice cream cones I get at the supermarket. Of course I don’t just eat one. Tonight I stopped at 2.
Ahhh! I love regular ice cream cones – I’ve seen the ones you’re talking about but haven’t tried them yet 🙂
I’m obsessed with Supergoop lip gloss right now. Actually, I’m always obsessed with some kind of lip gloss/balm.
I’ve never tried that brand! I love lip gloss so I should give it a whirl 🙂
