I eat gluten-free, so the options are pretty limited. Gluten-free bagels are disgusting. It's either eggs, or, ... just fruit. And if I eat only fruit, I am starving in 30 minutes.

The hubby thinks I'm nuts for eating tuna right out of the can without any dressing or anything. But I don't really mind it at all. This morning I ate ground turkey and an apple. We hand-picked apples this weekend. Delicious!

You are smoking fast!

I hope to go sub-30 sometime next year. Getting this weight off.

Went swimming this a.m. Soooooooooo tough to get out of bed, even tougher to leave the house when the temperature was in the 20s.

But it felt really, really good to be swimming again. But my swim training partner ditched me!

I tried doing a flip turn and nearly drowned. Never could do flip turns. My goal is by my tri in June that I want to be regularly doing flip turns. I think I just need more time in the water. I get out of breath when trying to do a turn.

Tried to run this morning.  Didn't go well.   I made it a mile and was having issues.  I was all pukey.  I walked for a bit but it didn't get any better.  So, I went home.  I think I got over heated.  I don't do well when I get too hot.  I was wearing my cold weather long sleeved shirt to run on the treadmill.  Duh!  Oh well.  I'll make up for it tomorrow!  I promise!

Take a breath 2 strokes before the wall when you tuck for the flip blow bubbles from your nose. also use your last stroke into the wall as the down force to start the flip remember to turn 90 degrees while you are flipping so you hit the wall on your side... gotta love swim team

THE 20's!!! I don't think I would have left my bed. Yep... I am defiantly a souther California person.

Wake up call Vampires , Cauze

Sorry everyone I was supposed to go running today but I just read my syllabus for class and realized that I have a midterm tomorrow and I am not even close to being ready for it.

So I will try to get in a shorter run tomorrow with my bike and water polo workout

Hey there, gang!

I got in another run today. It was definitely an "external motivation" day. In other words, I was askeered of Mila. I had a meeting in the middle of the morning - not enough time to run beforehand, then I got home and decided I really needed to sleep. Ate something and was crawling into bed about a half hour PAST my bedtime when I decided that a run was more important, these gorgeous fall days are going to get a lot less common, and I needed to HTFU. it was a step-up run, so I'm now almost back to where I was before I started rebuilding my fitness. I'm glad I did it, but running after eating too much was rough! Plus, I went to bed two hours late, so now I'm all wiggy and feel gross. Glad I got the run in, though.

Mmmmmmm, pummmmpkinnnnnn....super yummy. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies - YUM! Add some applesauce, some zucchini, little o'this, little o'that, even better! I :heart: fall - pumpkin and apples. Life is GOOD!

Speaking of (apples), my BFF made the BEST APPLE PIE EVER!!!! It was absolutely gorgeous, and tasted even better. Yay, BFF!

Oh, speaking of pumpkins this time, we tried something new this fall: sweet canned/pickled pumpkin. It is really pretty, kind of a yellow with a tint of orange. It has sugar and cinnamon. I'm thinking of doing a chutney with some of it, like a sweet mango chutney, maybe over pork loins or roast. I also think it would make a fabulous fruity bread, maybe a hearty white with the chunks of pumpkin folded in. Or maybe something like cinnamon raisin bread with the pumpkin chunks instead of raisins. I'll let you know how it goes!

Well good morning, Miss Mila! What on earth are you still doing up?

I'm actually looking forward to running in the crisp cold. Of course, my schedule keeps shoving my run to around noon or 1, so it has warmed up to the high 40s or even 50ish. 35 is a miserable temp, but I think 20-something will be fun. Just gotta dress for it, I guess. I also just found out that the brook that runs by my fabulous apartment freezes solid, and lots of people snowshoe on it. My landlord got all excited and said she'd love to go out with me. So yay, that should be fun to explore! I'm psyched to have options besides the road and serious trails this winter - I have a dirt road that isn't plowed right next to my house, and then the brook, plus a couple other dirt roads. Should be much better than last winter where my only option was the iced over, salted/sanded, snowbank-covered side/middle of the road. That was a no-go, let's just say.

Don't drown. Then we might lose the challenge and Mila will come haunt you in the afterlife, like a reverse ghost or something. I don't think you want that.

Well hello, stranger!
