The Best T-Shirt Ever

I found this t-shirt while Jared was sneaker shopping last night.  It’s a cupcake (or maybe a muffin but I’m trying to stick with my theme here).  With legs.  Running on a treadmill.
OMG, it’s ridiculous.  Ridiculously awesome.
Of course I wore it to Body Pump today.  I had to do something special because today [...]

50’s Flair

I purchased this dress from Anthropologie to wear to Jenna’s wedding in July.
Even got the approval of the mother and father of the groom.  Thanks for the compliments Kris and Bob!
As you can see in the photo, it’s a white dress with orange, yellow, and white flowers.
I know the wedding is still 4 months away.  [...]

Thank You “Cheese and Cookies”

Julie, my kick ass FitBloggin roommate, is an awesome blogger and always puts a smile on my face w/ her humor-filled posts.
You rock, Julie!

Jared’s parents are visiting this weekend so my schedule is filled with restaurants and sight seeing.  We had a great dinner at Jacob Wirths last night that I’m hoping to recap later [...]

Vegetarian Challenge Reflections

For 5 days last week, I didn’t eat “meat.”
For the most part, I felt like I was eating normally.  I think dining at Longhorn Steakhouse was the only time it felt like a struggle.  I didn’t crave meat.  I didn’t feel like anything was missing from my diet.  Just felt like a typical week.
So what [...]

I’ve been blogging for 6 months.  Wow things have changed since my first post.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog!!!  I really appreciate the support!

Rabbit Habit

I’m munching on a bag of baby carrots.  I think I heard that carrots help you see in the dark.  Probably a vegetable trick someone used when I was little.
Continuing to answer your questions….
Q:  Do you and Jared have plans of ever getting married? Are you waiting on a proposal perhaps?
A:  Getting married [...]

Quaker Oats

Noooooooo!
I forgot my SD card reader so no uploading photos until 5:30 tonight.

(Source)
I had a bowl of Quaker Instant Oatmeal, the raisin, date & walnut variety.  My bowl didn’t look quite like this, but you get the idea.
Ask Me Anything continued…
Q:  You are so skinny! Will you be mad if your children end [...]

Wanna Ask Me Anything!?!?

Am I officially the last blogger to create to invite readers to ask questions?
Who cares…  Besides writing my Vegetarian Challenge reflection post later tonight, I don’t have much else to blog about right now.
So feel free to ask questions!
(Mean and hurtful questions obviously won’t be answered. )
*Disabled as of 3/2/2010.  Thanks to those who [...]

Switch It, Change It

Rearrange it!  I had a very similar breakfast yesterday, but today’s had a slight twist.  I used strawberry yogurt instead of vanilla.  After posting the article about surprisingly sugary foods, I took a peek at the yogurt info.  24 grams of sugar, yikes!  I’m not monitoring my sugar intake so I ate it anyway.  But [...]

NEDAwareness

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week February 21-27, 2010
Being a blogger, I think this is particularly important:
The Media, Body Image, and Eating Disorders
“Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a variety of factors, including physical, psychological, interpersonal, and social issues. Media images that help to create cultural definitions of beauty and attractiveness are often acknowledged [...]
