How I Spent Mother’s Day
Obviously, I spent the morning of Mother’s Day with my awesome Mom! We had plans to go to Jake Moon for breakfast, but after getting turned away without reservations, we had to find somewhere else to go. My parents knew about this place to get food…but it wasn’t a restaurant, it was a mobile food stand, sort of. I was pretty skeptical at first. I mean, a morning when you’re looking forward to a delicious breakfast at Jake Moon and all of a sudden you’re here–outside. Of course, it was a nice day and all, and my mom said she heard the food was good here, so we went with…

8 Miles and Done
This morning I had to do another long run, 7-8 miles. My goal was to go out and run seven, possibly eight if I was feeling up to it. I was feeling a bit unmotivated to get going, but eventually I made it out there at around 9:00. But first, fuel! I had a bagel thin + almond butter + banana with some water. (yes, this is a recycled photo from my last long run, I eat the same thing!) One of my tactics to attacking longer runs is to break it up into sections. I generally run an out and back route of two miles (two miles out, two…

A Summery Dinner
Look what I finally picked up today!! Caitlin‘s book! I’m soooo excited! I love the whole idea behind Operation Beautiful. You can read more about it on the website. I think this book may help me, actually, because I know I’m guilty of “fat talk” every once in a while (what girl isn’t) because I’ve struggled with a negative self-image for most of my life. I’m slowly learning how to ban fat talk, but it is difficult, I will admit. Anyway, I can’t wait to read the book. 🙂 Since I’m still pretty low on food due to lack of groceries, I had oatmeal this morning. Never a bad thing.…

Hip Update
Tuesday is almost over. One day closer to Friday, and that’s a good thing! This blog post is probably going to be all over the place so bear with me. This morning I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast because I’m running out of food and haven’t been to the grocery store in ages. I wanted a smoothie but had no bananas or frozen fruit. Cereal it is! Just a bowl of Kashi H2H cinnamon + Special K Protein, almond milk, with a dab of almond butter and a few mini morsels. Pretty tasty. Not quite as filling as a smoothie though. Lunch was a bowl of one of…

Hot Yoga in Saratoga
I feel so refreshed and rejuvenated after taking my first hot yoga class at Hot Yoga Saratoga. Katie invited Rebecca, Courtney and I to attend a class with her this morning. I’m so glad she did because I feel great right now. I fueled this morning with half a bowl of vegan overnight oats that I found on Angela’s blog. I think I made them wrong because they were SO slimey. I did not enjoy the texture of these oats. I probably won’t be having overnight oats again any time soon. So I got up bright and early to meet Courtney and Rebecca and we headed to Saratoga to meet…
