Book: Ridiculously Happy! The Secret to Manifesting the Life and Body of your Dreams. This was sent to me by a publisher and I’m not far enough into it yet to have too much of value to say about it. Remember The Secret? It reminds me of that. Positivity breeds positivity and draws the good stuff to you. More on this to come.
Runnng Path. I don’t know, I’m all over the place. Just happy to be outside and sometimes even without a jacket after the horrific winter we’ve had.
Non-Running Workout. Well because I finally ended my wellness streak last week and surrendered (kind of, maybe) to a cold, I’ll go with plyo intervals. In my case this is dynamic movement interspersed with slow running or walking at incline (because I wasn’t feeling great).
Drink. Throwing down Kombucha like it’s my job. Need to work through my stash before vacay.
Excitement. Um yes, vacay. Oh and I passed my RRCA test. Spanked it in fact. Go me.
Garden Item. Still loving butternut squash, but I’m also quite happy to see berries showing up at the market more and more. Priced so I don’t have to take out a second mortgage.
TV. Now that The Bachelor is officially over, I’ve filled the Monday night junk TV void with Dancing with the Stars. My money is on Charlie White…or Candace Cameron….or Nene Leaks for sheer attitude.
Indulgence: I made my own almond butter the other day. It turned out fantastic. After all the grinding in the food processor, the butter is quite warm, and stays that way in the jar for a long time. The next step is to experiment with flavors.
Pet Peeve: This doesn’t happen often and it’s sort of comical (in a SNL skit sort of way) but it happened the other day and in the end it’s annoying. When a cashier comments about each thing you’re purchasing as they ring it up. Really?
Mood: I’m over my cold, adjusted to the time change, excited to be heading off on spring break soon so overall I AM HAPPY!
What’s your junk TV fix? Any spring break plans? Book recommendations for beach reading?
Congrats on passing the test! Way to go!
Sounds like a great place to be right now, mentally and soon, physically. I’m in a pretty good place too, at least when it’s not snowing on March 17. Yes, really.
Oh, and I’m a BIG RHONY fan and so excited that it came back on last week after a nearly 2-yr. hiatus. I need my fix!
I want to make my own nut butter! Tell me more. I’m obsessed with my food processor lately.
I’ve been trying to cut back on TV altogether, so lately, I’m sticking with books unless there’s something I really want to watch on.
Congratulations on passing your RRCA test!! Very exciting! And those SNL skits are hilarious, but in real life that would be so annoying!
A little bit of coconut and cinnamon go along way in homemade almond butter … just sayin’. I’ve also added instant coffee and a bit of cocoa powder, too.
My junk TV is “Chopped” on Amazon Prime. Obsessed.
We are on spring break and have no plans – Jordan just got home from his band trip yesterday evening and he and Hunter both have activities (play practice, cello lessons…) all week. I think that they are just happy to have some down time to relax.
Glad you are running outside again!!
Loved Dancing with the Stars last night – I really liked Merle Davis. She had so much more personality than she showed during the Olympics!
Kim I agree Meryl was awesome! She looks like such a china doll. A very competitive season I think!
Weird about the cashier:/ Have fun on Spring Break! No plans for our break since we already went to Arizona. Maybe some day trips or something:)
Congrats on passing the exam! Are you looking for clients? I SO need some coaching this summer for a potential 13.1 PR!
I did not realize Meryl and Charlie were on DWTS, thanks for alerting me, I will have to watch this season! Congrats on passing your coaching test, you will be coaching runners now I presume? I make my own almond butter, too, usually in the Vitamix, it’s a little tricky but I have it figured out.
We watch The Voice, my kids love it.
OHHH i wanna read!!maybe we can do a book swap when you are done!
Mm kombucha, love. And wohooo goooooo coach!!! I’ll have to remember that so I can quote you in a future coaches round up!
Glad you & are are over the flu/cold! 🙂
I want to hear more about that book! Our guilty pleasure right now is the Voice – as Kovas said, my kids love it!
Glad you’re feeling better.
I don’t watch much TV. Right now we are watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. We are finishing up season 3 and all I can say is OMG!
Have you ever made your own Kombucha? The store-bought stuff is expensive! A friend of mine makes her own and says it’s pretty easy.
Karen I haven’t made my own yet. And yes, it is quite expensive. One of these days I’ll give it a shot.
Congrats on passing the test!!
I’ve just got your message through Stefano’s comment which he left on my blog. You are very kind, thanks for that!
Don’t worry about cold … Winter is going to an end! On the reading front, I’ve planned to read a book for foreign readers of English. It is “Warhorse” by Michael Morspurgo. This book tells the story of a horse that is taken from an English farm to serve in the trenches during the First World War.
I used to eat almond as pre-race breakfast … without butter because of my high cholesterol level 🙂
Enjoy your runs!

Loving that glass, Louise! 🙂
Have a fantastic trip!! (super jealous of your 13, even sick!)
xo
Gurrrrrlllll…you are the Rafflecopter/RunCoach PRO now!!!!! Wooo hoooo! Time to drink ALLLLLL the ‘bucha!
And I really hope your luggage stuff got sorted and you’re having a blast on your vacation 🙂
My spring break will be spent in a narcotic-induced fog while my children constantly bicker and I won’t care 🙂 I’ll probably be doing lots of clams and bridges and doing slow laps around the living room. I might make myself a piña colada to pretend it’s a real vacay, but that would prob react negatively with the drugs. So I’ll just slam down a couple of bottles of Trilogy instead 😉
Congrats! — “Give the world the best you have, and the best will come to you!”
