Fabulous Run

I say that a lot. I really want to mean it this time. I do want to have a healthier life. Hopefully it will help with a few things. Like the fact that I am tired. All the time. I woke up this morning exhausted. After a fairly restful weekend. I haven't been working out too much since Doug came to visit. So I need to work on that. And I was eating well until vacation. And then I had 10 days of complete, eating whatever I wanted. Even though I was only on vacation for four. Oops. But I'm also not going to throw away all the unhealthy food in my house. It's just too much money to waste. Which is how this dinner happened last night. I have some chicken salad left, some lunch meat, mac n cheese. I'll finish up the perishable stuff and slowly cut out the other stuff. I want to start out by doing this: And then move on to this: And I can't forget to add in the exercise. I should/could start training for the half marathon I am running in October. I want to r...

T G I F. It's finally Friday! Yay!!! I know I have no reason to complain about this week, it was a four day week for me. But I am still so happy that it's over! Now if only I could sleep in tomorrow. But I can't. E has agreed to bike our marathon course for me with a camera, so I will be following in my car. We're meeting at her place at 5:30am. Yikes!

This week has been a blur. It's seemed to drag on but has also been a blur if that makes any sense. In any regard...here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week. One of my favorite grocery stores just opened two stores in Houston and two more are coming. I'm a big fan of The Fresh Market. They are focused on perishables. Much of the store is devoted to produce, fresh meat, seafood, a deli and a bakery. Many of the items are gourmet products. Love, love, love most of their ready-to-eat meals.   FINALLY had lunch at Tiny Boxwood 's yesterday. I've been trying to go there for months now. Even scheduled a work meeting for one Monday afternoon only to then find out it was closed on Mondays. It was very tasty, but on the expensive side. Must go back and try everything on the menu. This wall shelf is kinda cool. Maybe it would be good for my new apartment, although I have no idea where I would put it. Or how I could screw it into the concret...

My mini vacation is officially over and I have to go back to work this morning. It was great to get back to North Wildwood and spend time with family and friends. I flew in Friday now and out early Monday afternoon. If I take this trip again, I would definitely make it Weds to Monday or something like that. It was just too short. There was beach time and cook outs on Saturday and Sunday, a trip to the boardwalk with my nephew Hunter and a last breakfast with my mom and godmother on Monday morning. Now I can't find the cords to connect my camera to my computer so I've borrowed a few pics from Deb to supplement what I had on my cell.

I'm leaving in a few hours for the airport! Heading to North Wildwood to spend the weekend with my family. Hope you all have a great weekend! That's me!

It's almost time for my mini vacation! Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... Our beach house. My grandfather bought this house 45 years ago! now that my dad owns it, the family is slowly starting to update things. And Deb wants to talk about her ideas for the upstairs while I'm home. Can't wait to get there tomorrow night. This is the seafood boil the fam had last weekend at the beach and we're supposed to make something similar again this weekend. I l.o.v.e seafood. I'm always looking for sunblock. Deb told me about this one - Sun Bum - a while ago and I've been wanting to try it. Just have to see if I can find it down there. Won't be able to take it with me since I'm only taking carry on luggage on the plane.

Two more days. In two more days I will be flying home to spend a weekend in Wildwood! I haven't been there since last summer and this is likely the only time I will get there this year. I get in Friday night and leave Monday afternoon. I'm looking forward to some beach time and some good food. Now I just have to pack. The goal is to take a backpack and tote and nothing else. Found a great summer travel packing list on pinterest to follow... And I bought two new swimsuits for the occasion.
