Hello hello!

How are we this weekend?? The weather here in NC is gorgeous! The past week has been rainy, windy and just plain wet. But not today! The sun is just a’shinin!

This morning I woke up around 7 so I could meet Whit for a morning run. I popped a waffle into the oven for a couple minutes, smothered it with pb and jam and naner slices, and after a little bit of blog reading I was out the door!

We met at the YMCA in Charlotte for a 5 mile run. Whit planned the run on Mapmyrun.com and it was pretty nice! We went through some nice neighborhoods, ran on the outskirts of downtown and then back to the Y! Then it was coffee time!!! A cup of green tea seemed to keep the caffeine headache at bay But, I was very thankful when we found a Starbucks nearby!

I ordered a Nonfat Latte with 2 pumps of Pumpkin Spice and a Chocolate Banana Vivanno Smoothie

Yummo! I totally had “liquid-belly” after finishing these two off, hehe I could hear my stomach sloshing around lol. Whit and I had good convo about running, blogging, makeup, perfume ladidadidadida. It’s nice to have someone to relate to finally! And to run with of course

I had to get to the bank before it closed, so we said our goodbyes and I ran a few errands before going home to the guy (who was busy doing homework ) When I came home, he mentioned that he was ready to get some fresh air, so we loaded Trixie into the car and headed off to the park for a nice stroll!

Such a purdy day I’ve really missed my Trixie lately! Jas takes her on her walks most days of the week because of my schedule, so I feel like it’s a treat when I get to spend some time with her! I’ve missed my honey too, hehe:

I was STARVING when we got back! My breakfast wasn’t much, I have to admit…so I grabbed the quickest meal possible outta the cabinet and in 10 minutes it was ready! Annie’s mac and cheese with spinach, black beans and a tad extra sharp cheddar shredded cheese thrown in there too!

Nom nom nom. This was delicious and just what I wanted I may go back for a snack soon though, te he. I am currently lying on the couch watching The Wedding Singer and day dreamin’ about the Thai food that we are gonna go get tonight! Yumm yumm. Tomorrow Jas and I are going to go see the Panthers vs. Falcons at the Bank of America Stadium! Though they have been playing terribly this season, there is still a little part of me that wants to root for the home team! Hopefully they will make it worth our while  Well, I’m off to relax! I’ll be back tomorrow! Have a great weekend guys

Some fun facts to know:

• Raisins work just as well as energy gel packets or chews as a workout snack! Studies find that they give the same boost as the gels do, but cheaper to buy! Invest in some raisins!
• A Bosu ball does not work your core any differently than working out on flat ground <–I found this interesting!
• Bacon is a fat, not a meat! (Along with cream cheese and hummus) <–This one was a little surprising!
• Adding jump exercises in with your strength routine is known to improve fitness ability to over
