Happy Friday Friends!!!

You all ROCK! I mean seriously. Here I am, freaking out about writing about my own food/eating issues and you all made me feel like a million-trillion bucks. I {heart} you guys!

Dealing with IBS is going to be tough! I’m not looking forward to it. But I know with the help of all my amazing blog friends aka readers… yes I’m nerdy and think of all of you as my friends :mrgreen: …I can do this and hopefully get back to a normal life. One that includes running and eating pizza once in a while.

Well… a girl can dream right?!

Dinner

20120518-085246.jpg

Last night Max took me on a date night. We had Mexican food…. yep, I’m so unpredictable. ;-)

Because my numero uno umm…goal… is to just get myself back to a form of normal, I’m sticking to things I’m pretty sure wont aggravate my digestive tract. So… blackened shrimp tostada topped with lots and lots of spicy salsa. :-D

I may (or may not) have eaten this entire basket of corn chips while Max was in the bathroom washing his hands… I plead the 5th!

But FYI… don’t ever threaten to take away my chips and salsa… I will (probably) cut you! ;-)

After dinner I felt pretty good. Yay for being symptom free! We saw Dark Shadows, which was pretty funny. I usually like the Jonny Depp & Tim Burton films but only to watch once or twice. They are so creative and intense.

Once we got home from the movie I had an unquenchable salty craving (females and their dumb hormones!!! gah!) so I ate the second half of my Dad’s heaping bowl of evoo popcorn. I’ll have to do a recipe post on that. Holy Delicious.

Fitness

The one thing that I now live by when it comes to sweating… if my stomach feels loopy don’t do it!

I’ve been experiencing my womanly time which can make IBS symptoms a billion and 4 times more intense. So I’ve skipped the gym the last two days. It’s hard, but definitely worth it.

Breakfast

I ate dessert…

before 8am…

I feel slight foodie shame… :oops:

I found, strawberry white chocolate coffee at Target last night!!! :

Please… tell me how you say “no” to that?!!

My Dad and I really like the Hershey’s Bliss dark chocolate squares and I knew that a square with a swallow of coffee would be pure magic on my tongue. IT WAS!

Tell me about you!!! I want to know…

are you more of a salty craving or sweet craving kind of person>
depends on the day… but lately it’s been salty all the way

what was your favorite band in jr. high school?
…backstreet boys!!!! :oops:

what is the longest road trip you’ve ever been on?
13 hours of driving in 1 day. That was from Portland, Oregon to Salinas, CA. But we drove from my house to eastern Utah one summer in 3 days…

Okay, so I need to figure out how to document what I’m eating, how I feel and things here on the blog. It’s feeling kinda impossible. I guess I just need to dive on in… Breakfast This morning around 8am I had a medium blueberry vanilla creme coffee from 7eleven. I added a little normal [...]

Hey guys! I’ve had a lot going on this last month or so… and I’ve been really reluctant to write about it here on the blog. But I think it’s effecting how much I’m able to share and it’s kind of leading me down a new path in terms of eating/food, blogging, fitness, and overall [...]

Hey guys! Is it actually Wednesday?!?! Seriously?!?! Gosh I feel like this week is flying by. Breakfast So lately I’ve kinda been obsessed with my 7eleven coffee. I know.

Hi friends!! Happy Friday! This coffee is blueberry creme. I see this flavor at 7eleven and I’m always too scared to try it. Blueberry in my coffee… from a convenient store… that might be pushin’ it. But today I mixed it with a little french vanilla and OMG it’s bomb (dot) com! There was Murder [...]

Yay Thursday. I never really know how I feel about Thursdays because it’s like the weekend is so close, yet so far. Gah, it’s like a full 24 hours of dilemma. Loving the hot weather we’re having… I’m (borderline) having too much fun. I always feel like driving with the top down should be illegal… [...]

I was at home… then I said… OMG!!! I need licorice, right now! So Max and I flew to the drug store for Twizzlers. Is it normal to find so much instant joy over strawberry licorice? I should say that I chose to get the 2 pound bag over a little package and I didn’t [...]
