Hello!
Just a head’s up to anyone who didn’t watch yesterday’s Ask a Monican yet – I make a random lil admission around 4:12 about how I was delirious in my last video
Oh. And you can’t see it, but I’m wearing my Extra Sharp (cheese) Cabot Tee that I found in the depths of my drawers.
So, last night I posted this very sad picture on Instagram – my Sriracha bottle is empty.
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!
But, I want to reassure you I will not live without Sriracha and I had another one (or two) in my cupboard. But, thanks for the concern
Yesterday I also hit up Costco for the usual food staples and spent some time with my favorite section – the watermelon bins! Seriously, this made me smile. Please don’t judge.
Hey, I said don’t judge me!
This morning I took a walk and did some strength work. It was cold (to me) so I felt the need to bundle up like a crazy.
Again, don’t worry about me though… the palm trees are surviving this 58 degree weather, I’m sure I will too.
I am currently obsessed with Chia Protein Pudding. I made my easy 3 ingredient Chia Pudding but pumped it up for a snack earlier this week. And last night I made a strawberry version with almonds!
And now I am drinking iced coffee and slowly updating all my posts.
This is why I hate myself – I’m working on the RER redesign to make things easier for you to find everything. But I have never really categorized or organized my posts because I am super random (in life and work and everything). My random-red-headedness has never been a problem until now. I have to go back and update the categories on each post one by one. That is over 4,000 posts! Crap.
And my intern is too busy sleeping in the closet to help.
Question: Why do you LOVE yourself today?
Name something – In the comments or in your head. Let’s keep up the positive thinking!!
bobbie says
I love myself b/c I got a ton of paperwork done today!
Ashley says
haha oh lord — I am NOT jealous of your current bloggy situation. lol Lots of ice cream, that’s what I recommend.
Katie says
I started categorizing too! It’s such a pain! But, damn it, I know it’s helpful. What a tedious process.
I love myself today, because I woke up early and am being productive! 🙂
Alison says
I love myself today because when I left for my run this morning, it was slightly snowing but I went anyway. Despite feeling lied to by weather.com, which said it was only cloudy, and really wanting to go crawl back in bed. But I was up, dressed, and outside already so I went and had a good run!
Losing Lindy says
I love that I was able to sleep until 4 this morning..yesterday was 2..so I take this as a win
Jennifer says
Hey!
Your blog is cool, I like your pics!
I am following you now on Bloglovin, wanna do the same?

Thanks for encouraging all of us out here in internet land to focus on what we love about ourselves this week! It’s so easy to tear yourself down, I really appreciate the reminder to build ourselves up.
Today I love myself for swapping out a junk mile-y run for a totally delightful swim. My ankle’s been feeling funny this week, and I’m right in the middle of peak marathon training. I’m usually one to overtrain and injure myself, but I’m learning to train smarter.
The Silent Assassin says
People say I lift people up, not put them down. I’m proud of that. And btw, I don’t know all the blogger etiquette stuff, and I don’t know how many people caught the #bloggerfail. And I don’t think there’s any blogger police. But, the reason I love reading your blog and following you is because you’re FUNNY, you’re REAL, and most of all, you’re GENUINE, so GENUINE (among other amazeball things). So, there don’t Hate yourself! =)
Kim @FITsique says
Always buy two bottles of siracha at a time 🙂 I love myself because I am strong!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I love that after a ten hour work day, I still got a good run in!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Some I love about myself…I’ve recently followed my dreams and I am starting the creation of something amazing in my life! I am for once doing what I want to do FOR ME! It feel awesome.
Tina Muir says
I think I must have done chia pudding wrong when I made it, as I really wasnt keen, but hearing so much good about it!
I love that I care. I know I am good at making people feel special, and they are. I love celebrating the individual traits that make someone into the person they are. I like that I am good at appreciating that 🙂
Jessica @ RunYourMuttOff says
I love myself for finally admitting the pain I’ve had for 3 weeks isn’t normal and going to my chiropractor and a physical therapist to fix it. My body is broken but it’s on the mend, yay!
Emily says
I love how when I make planned, announced, scheduled goals I pretty much forget about them right away. But when I decide on a whim, “I’m going to run a marathon!” Or “I’m giving up alcohol!” It just happens and I have no problem doing it. Weird.
Kelly says
Also, I just looked at your chia seed recipe and I”m loving that too!
Kelly says
I love the way my life is going right now 🙂
Emily@WhateverFloatsYourOats says
I love how positive your posts are – definitely encourages me to treat myself kindly. I love that I made people smile today.
Shannon in Tustin says
Love that I manage to keep our very busy family of four moving forward, fed with healthy food that I make, and wearing clean clothes! It’s no small task and leaves me exhausted. But it works. 🙂
Charlotte says
I like the randomness of things on your blog. Fun, fresh and exciting! Keep up the great work.
Susan says
I don’t know if it falls under “what I love about myself” but I love that I got to spend a little time with my brother this afternoon. We live in different cities – an hour apart – and he has an odd work schedule so we don’t get to see each other that often and get caught up.
AdjustedReality says
I love that even in the middle of a stressful day, I took ~35 minutes to get outside and run and destress and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.
Monica @ The Hot Mess Express says
Love that I woke up and made the 7:00am bar method class! Way to get my morning fit on!!!
Pamela says
I love myself for skipping my morning run to walk with neighbor
Carrie @ Season It Already! says
I was excited to run in the 44 degree weather yesterday here in MN! 😉
Linda @ running4two says
I love that I ate a big salad for lunch…that means lots of ice cream later. 🙂
Julianna @ Julianna Bananna says
hahaha typical cat. they make awful interns, don’t they?
good luck with all that categorizing.. you might need some extra iced coffee for that 😉
Trish says
I love myself for taking a day off to spring clean, start a new book and to donate blood!
Natalie In the uk says
Ive lost 3 lb so far this week and done loads of exercise. Zumba , cycling ,pilates and a lotof running. Feeling amazing.
Greta @ fueledbyfresh says
Crazy kitty! I’m loving myself today for making the commitment to become a more organized, healthy and fit individual! This week has felt like a total rebirth for me and I’m so in love with it! Let’s hope I can keep it up!
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
I’m the same way with blogging, so disorganized! I know it will bite me in the butt one day.
I too was excited by those watermelon bins at costco the other day but then I bought a mini watermelon. Don’t know what I was thinking because after 2 days it’s gone! Ugh.
Rebecca Jo says
I love about myself… because I went to bed early last night & let my DVR do all the TV work for me to watch on Sunday 🙂
BlushandBarbells says
I love myself because I am running a half marathon on Saturday! Two years ago I couldn’t have run a single mile without crying.
Shannon in Tustin says
Fantastic!!! 🙂
Kris @ Canadian Girl Runs. says
I listened to my body when my foot really hurt and stopped running for a few days so it would heal. Usually I would have stuck to my marathon training schedule NO MATTER WHAT, but I can proudly say I rested when necessary and that is huge for me!
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
At least you don’t have to pay your intern? Or do you, in tuna?
Mary@RunWalkLift says
I love that I can cry with others when they need support.
I haven’t categorized mine either, but I don’t have 4000.
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
i don’t know what the #bloggerfail was unless it’s the intern sleeping on the (clean towels) job again….
I love myself today because i am off from work and being productive! I paid bills, changed the sheets on my bed (and made it too!) and took the dog for a nice walk because it’s actually warmer here today in NYC than by you for once.
And I’m running 8 miles this evening to the mechanic to pick up my car when they tell me it’s all fixed!
It’s a good day…
2 Cups 'N Run says
I would fire that intern!
One thing I love about myself today, is that when I really want something (attainable) no matter how big or small, I don’t stop until I get it.
Paola A says
Cause I don’t care about my horrible singing voice, I still sing at the top of my lungs when I’m in the car. Makes me happy!
