New Running Shoes
So yesterday I went to pick up some new running shoes from A Snail's Pace in Brea. This store is awesome, becuase they fit you real meticulously and pay attention to your running style and what you're looking for in a shoe. There's a treadmill in the store, where they video the way you run in various shoes and analyze whether those shoes are the ( Read more... ) -
RHETI Sampler Personality Test
Took the RHETI Sampler Personality Test. It pretty much hit the nail on the head for me.
Type Seven - The Enthusiast
The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They ( Read more... ) -
Teemu's Number Retirement
Yesterday I got to witness history as Teemu Selanne's number was retired after a beautiful ceremony at the Honda Center.
I feel lucky to have been able to witness the career of a legendary hockey player and a great man. I feel fortunate to have been present for this celebration.
Aside from the day Chris experienced his first kidney stone, I have ( Read more... ) -
Day Off
I had President's Day off today, and Chris had to work. That scenario makes for my most productive days, since I don't like to work around the house when *other people* are relaxing and playing games.
I began the day by hitting the gym (as I do every weekday), making Chris two sandwiches and cut up strawberries for work snacks, lounging around a ( Read more... ) -
Plant Based on a Budget Challenge Day 3
This morning I woke up... actually, it was on time... but I was tired and chose to stay asleep longer anyway.
Therefore, I didn't go to the gym before work (again). I left work an hour early so I could make it to a session before dinner. Had a great workout, and I'm starting to feel back to normal after my hiatus from a knee injury. I'm still ( Read more... ) -

Plant Based on a Budget Update
Waking up this morning was a huge FAIL. It would have helped if I had turned on my alarms *face palm*.

Sleepy time
After the Ducks game tonight (they beat the Canucks 3-1, woot!), we headed over to Mothers Market for dinner and the final shopping for the Plant Based on a Budget challenge.
I got home at about 9:30-10:00 PM. I almost gave in and went to bed instead of prepping tomorrow's lunches, but I decided to go for it and start the lentil soup. In addition, ( Read more... ) -
Meal Planning
I have never meal planned before. I am using inspiration from the Plant Based on a Budget Challenge to meal plan everything for a full week.
I couldn't follow their 2-People Week 1 plan exactly, because many of those lunches and breakfasts don't match with our lifestyle of not being home at lunchtime and leaving for work at different times from ( Read more... ) -
