Some things you should know;

I finally officially signed up for my triathlon (do you know how many times it took for me to spell that right on the first try? ;) 

I just got my Macbook Pro up and working oh um...yesterday (don't ask me why it took so long because I'm really not sure) 

This may or may not be shocking to you seeing as though I got it last week


P.S; the best feature would have to be the light up keyboard! so cool (:


I'm definitely looking forward to going off to college; but I am not over-the-top thrilled to be going through all my things (oh the clothes, the horror!)

Did anyone else take AP English and have to read that book?


This is my new background for my lock screen on my iPhone

He's just so cute right? 

I love getting mail! I recently got a free sample from Fitmixer for their amino drink #sogood 

Before Cardio Funk last week I snacked on a teeny tiny little apple (Yes I used our Keruig coffee maker for a size reference :) )

I also rocked some new Nikes that I got on sale at Kohl's and new running shorts #score

I am going to seriously miss the kids I babysit when I leave. She just adores me (her mom's words not mine ;) ) But she is going into third grade and is in that "let's hold hands" and "will you paint my nails" stage. 

She asks me to do her hair all the time; that was a trial of a fishtail #almostfail #stillcute

I overdosed on popcorn #again

That is a very large bowl; #whydoidothistomyself

Fact or Fiction

Let's play a little game shall we? It's called fact or fiction; and I know you have seen this one before. If you haven't, then I'll take all the credit ;) haha


Fact: My last post was way too long and definitely contained a bit of word vomit #ewww
Fact: I guess that's what happens when you wait a while to post and then you have too much you want to say
Fiction: I know how to keep my readers interested


Fact: today my dog decided to share our comfy chair with me
Fact: her white hair is now all over my dark green sweatshirt

Fact: I'm pretty sure she thinks it's hers #shesadiva



Fact: I ate three bags of popcorn last night #yikes
Fact: I probably shouldn't eat while browsing blogs #notassatisfying #lookingatfoodmakesmehungry

Fiction: that picture was taken last night #recycledphoto



Fiction: I completely understand why OIAJ is "just not for some people" I mean I may be pushing it, but how can you not want to get every last drop of Dark Chocolate Dreams! #itssodreamy
Fact: get ready for those voluminous oats on tomorrow's WIAW #itfilledtwojars #toobadonlyonewasofpb
Fact: I should really try to stop using so many hashtags because I'm annoying you
Fiction: I will try ;) 

Fact: taking a picture of something by a window sill produces a much better picture #itsallaboutlighting
Fiction: I came up with that all on my own
Fact: I hate reading blogs with crappy photos #sotakemyadvice :) Was that mean?


Fact: I'm scared of clip on bike pedals
Fiction: I'm nervous for my triathlon #imsopumped!

Fact: I'm ending this post
Fiction: You are still reading? or is that a fact....


Your turn! Give me one fact and one fiction about your life right now, or about anything really


Have you ever used clip on bike pedals?
The reason they are scary (I knew you would ask that ;) ) is because you are clipped to the bike so if you lean over too far you will fall over with the bike! #ouch They take lots of practice, so I hope I can learn before my tri!

My eats round dos; A little WIAW action

So here's some more of my eats from this past week and an actual day in the life; haha because I know you love just oogling over my pictures of food(: But hey, I do love looking at other's WIAWs because I use them as inspiration, especially when I'm in a rut! Thanks Jenn for hosting(:

So first we have Monday's eats (all of them; I know right, I'm getting fancy now :p)


Let's say 12:00 pm because I got up pretty late that day

Pumpkin Egg White Oats (am I the only one who enjoys it year round?) but wait, get this, they aren't just pumpkin oats, they are Pumpkin BBQ Egg White oats a la wildberry jelly, coconut butter, alm/cash/peanutbutter mix, blackberries and blueberries with a little cinnamon life, grape nuts, kashi cinnamon hearts and some shredded coconut action

2 pm snack

sensible snack~

Handfuls of raw okra x4 (or so haha)

Now we are at my mid-day lunchish; 3pm?

Oh look my dog! haha; she was lounging out in the nice sunshine with me. I was just eatin up my Cinnamon Canteloupe Chia Chiller (i'm liking the alliterations) I based it off this recipe, but I added chia seeds, vanilla extract, xanthan gum and protein powder.

Shall we say 4pm

Sensible snack~

 A snackity snack, Peanutbutter frozen popcorn
