Shop Til I Dropped

by Meghann on February 21, 2009

I know I was making a few of you a little jealous of the wonderful weather here in Florida. So I will forgo the comments I would like to say about the cloudless sky and sundress I’m currently wearing and instead just focus on the scrumptious food I’ve been eating today. :)

Lunch was some yummy Mexican left overs.

I had just enough veggies left over for three vegetable fajitas and the rest of the pineapple from breakfast on the side.

And a piece of Godiva some how made it in my mouth for dessert.

I then proceeded to spend a couple of hours shopping with Caitlin and spending way too much money at the mall.

It seems like a lot but I promise I was a thrifty shopper today. I had a couple of gift cards and some birthday month discounts that needed to be taken advantage of with this haul.

Of course, shopping always gives me an appetite so I had a Strawberry Skinny Smoothie from the food court.

It was ok, I forgot to ask for no added sugar so it was extra sweet.

Now its time to sit back and relax on the couch, plans are still up in the air for tonight. Anyone doing anything fun with their Saturday night?

Talking Runners

by Meghann on February 21, 2009

What a BEAUTIFUL Saturday morning in good ole Central Florida.

It was a bit chilly this morning, but it’s suppose to hit 70 around noon. This is why I live in Florida. :)

I woke up pretty early this morning in preparation for a casual Saturday run. It had been a while since I had my favorite pre-run morning meal so this morning I broke out the Almond Butter and Apple Slicer and ate what I knew would keep be fueled the best through a 6 mile run.

I had a Multi-Grain Arnolds Thins, with Almond Butter, Apple Slices and Granola sprinkled on top. THis fills me up every time, so I was ready and willing to run.

I was suppose to have my Team in Training run this morning, but I was bad and ditched it to run with a friend I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with… Gina.

Gina texted me Thursday night asking if I wanted to knock out 6 miles with here on Saturday and I decided why not.

We did a stead 9 minute pace and easily finished our 6 mile run in around 55 minutes. I loved running with Gina because she is a talking runner like me, so we spent the whole time gabbing about life, love and of course all things blog. :)

When you run with friends are you a talker or a headphone wearer? I love to talk, it makes the run breeze by. :)

Whole Foods just happened to be on my way home from the run and I can’t drive by a Whole Foods with out going in so I stopped to pick up a few items and the second half of my breakfast.

I got a small container of Tofu Scramble and Rosemary Hashbrowns.

And a container of Pineapple.

The tofu scramble was amazing and totally filling on its own. I ended up only eating half of the pineapple and will probably finish it off with my lunch.

I have big plans to go shopping today with Caitlin and then hanging out with my Twin Bro who is in town for the weekend. It should be a great Saturday, I hope everyone is enjoying theirs as well! :)
