Pool Party!

Looks like I am being thrown into my bathing suit early this year!

Oh, please excuse me, where are my manners?! —-> Good morning sunshines!!

Grace has a Girl Scout pool party to attend that is for the “family” and since I am their “family” during the day, I am taking all of the kids! If John gets in the water, then I have to be in the water, duh because he is only 3 :)

Last night I surprised Jason and showed up at his house before he got home :) Too bad I was half asleep when he finally did walk in the door, haha. He went out for a celebratory burger with his biking buddies after the time trial! I slept like a baby though, but on the way home this morning I almost fell asleep at the wheel twice! I need to be more careful! And I need more sleep :)

I was extremely excited for breakfast because I had finally remembered to bring my blender home from Jason’s so I could make another Green Monster! There’s nothing like a smoothie for breakfast on a hot, summer day!
This guy included: skim milk, ice, strawberries, banana, dark choc pb and 2 handfuls of spinach.

After:
Holy cow! Strawberries make it so much sweeter!! I love trying out new ingredients in my Green Monsters! Found another winner :)

Meet my old training log!

When I was training for a half-marathon, I printed out my training schedule from Runner’s World and carried it with me everywhere! Even though I had a food/exercise blog online, I still carried around a food journal to write down everything that I ate and what not, and I would keep this in there to look at everyday :)

And of course, I wrote all over it as well, hehe. It’s hard to take in the fact that right before I got injured I was running 8:30 minute miles, and now it feels like I am doing 12 minute miles or something! I have faith that I will get back there one day :)

Looky what came in the mail yesterday!

The wonderful folks at Stonyfield Organic Farm’s sent me a massive amount of coupons, a reuseable bag, a magnet and some coupons for some free yogurt! Yay!

Stonyfield has always been my favorite brand :) Not only is it organic, but it taste’s wonderful! I have had their smoothies, yogurt and milk before and I love all of them! I was so excited when I started seeing that they make a Greek Yogurt too!
I started buying it after seeing it all over the food blog world :) After trying Fage and Oikos, Oikos is definitely my fav! I have never had the Honey kind so I might give that one a try soon!
I hope you guys have a great Thursday! One more day until Friday, woot woot! In order to help us keep our sanity until then, why don’t we daydream about the fun things that we all have planned this weekend!

I wanna hear all about them! See ya later gators!

  1. aaah I used to have a similar training plan from RW. I scribbled all over mine too :) It's like gold!!

    That's awesome you got free stuff? How did you do that?

    Oh btw, what's your email? I had some questions for you about foodbuzz and like how you have a dot-com but i dont want to have novel-length convos over comments hehe. :)

  2. stacey – not really! most people who are good friends with me call me katie though. :)

    oh, dont feed your doggie grapes or raisins! there is a chemical in them that cause kidney damage in pups! just an FYI. carrots, watermelon, celery, apples, etc are safe though.

  3. Enjoy the pool party!

    I usually track all of my runs using the runners world training log – its great to be able to see your weekly and monthly mileage, and specific workouts.

    This weekend I'm heading to Albany to visit with my parents – I can't wait. Its the best place to relax! :)

    What are your plans?
