my normal diet has been absolutely smothered this-weekend.

friday:

• lunch: taco bueno, two starbucks caramel brûlée lattes
• dinner: pizza, chocolate, and pumpkin spice cake
• no gym time

saturday:

• breakfast: starbucks skinny soy vanilla latte
• lunch: charleston’s loaded fries, caesar, smashed potatoes and steamed veggies w/vanilla cake
• dinner: el guapo’s veggie wet burrito
• no gym time

sunday:

• breakfast: topéca latte
• lunch: some hole-in-the-wall tex-mex’s spinach enchiladas
• dinner: baked ziti and bread
• no gym time

so much good food and such a perfect weekend, but i can’t wait to get back to the regular tomorrow.

aside from still struggling to recover from a strain of strep throat that has left my tonsils raw and the rest of my body exhausted, recently life has been really good to me.

things i am loving with my whole heart lately:

• starbucks’ steamed lemonade + tazo refresh tea
• my amazing group of coworkers that continue to make me look ahead to my longest of work days
• doctors that respect my minimal knowledge on medications and how my body handles them
• my new marc by marc jacobs bag
• spending time with jamie
• catching three jack’s mannequin shows already this year
• friends that stick around, even if i am so horrible at keeping in touch with being so busy- thank you for being so wonderful
• sally hansen cheetah nail strips / american apparel neon polish
• nanny-ing the most adorable identical twins and their sweet brother
• looking forward to a fall break trip to colorado with my father
• having working air conditioning in my car
• being so booked that i don’t have time to do inessential things (ex. hang out on tumblr)

I’m currently drinking one of these for the first time- and it’s so incredibly delicious. I must find more.

It also doesn’t hurt that each bottle is super cute, has 175 mg of caffeine (over a can of Redbull times two), 10 grams of protein and no fat. 

So, no more lazy Saturday now that I have some caffeine! Going to dinner with the neighbourhood family in a bit for a light meal for me and then coming home for what I’m expecting to be a painful second run since November.

I’ve already realised I really should start drinking quite a bit more water and, as I’m having to run after the day is done tonight, I need to set aside time specifically for running- I just need this semester to be over with already.
I only got through a little over a mile yesterday without my entire body wanting to shut down, but I did manage to walk another half mile and bike two more afterwards. Right now I just want to get out and do it- distance and speed can take the focus a little later.
