Football, Marathon, & Fall

Happy Monday friends!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

What a weekend for Mississippi.  I’m so proud of both Mississippi State University and Ole Miss.  For those of you living under a rock, or maybe for those of you who don’t care about the SEC or College Football, Mississippi State creamed Texas A&M (sorry cuz!) and then Ole Miss pulled out a win against Alabama.  This pushed both of the schools to tie for 3rd place on national ratings.  Kind of a big deal.  College GameDay will be in Starkville next weekend as we play Auburn, another big deal.  Lots of excitement all around Mississippi!

MARATHON TRAINING

I’m pretty determined to finally complete that Marathon that I’ve talked about the past few years.  Training didn’t end so well last week, but I’m determined to stick to the schedule this week.  I have a 3 mile run right after I publish this post and finish last week’s Grey’s Anatomy episode, then I have 4 miles Wednesday, 3 Thursday, and 7 on Saturday.  The 7 mile run will be tough in Starkville, but I don’t plan on staying out late or drinking Friday night so I can be prepared for my morning run, then I’ll head out to the game and enjoy myself afterwards.  I missed my long run this past week, so sticking to my plan is crucial this week.  I need to do some research on proper nutrition for marathon training especially as a vegetarian.  I’m concerned with that moving forward.

FALL

Who else is thrilled with the beautiful arrival of Fall??  On Sunday, I did the greatest thing ever – sat outside of Starbucks with a venti cinnamon dolce latte in a long sleeve shirt.  Fall has officially arrived.  Sure, we still have some warm days in Mississippi, but the fall weather is slowly rolling in and it reminds me how far behind I am on so many things – blogging (clearly since I haven’t blogged in about a week), figuring out what Nick and I are going to be for Halloween, and probably other things that aren’t coming to my mind right now!

Have a wonderful week and a wonderful Fall!

Fun with Food Camp

 

Good Afternoon!

I’m at Starbucks writing up my post for today.  I made the drive up to Starkville last night and seriously… this is the easiest Free-standing Starbucks.  The one back home is inside the Target.  I love coming to this Starbucks to get work done – which is exactly what I’m doing today.  I have my Blog, Inc. book with me and I’m working to fix my Comment issue along with my networked blogs issue because I noticed that my posts are not linking with Facebook & Twitter like they should.

Work has been monotonous lately because we’re going to a new e-filing system and so I’m converting all of our paper files to e-files which is extremely boring.  I usually don’t take lunch breaks unless I’m meeting with a friend, but Friday was draaaggggiiiinnnnggggg….. SO I decided to actually take a lunch break and enjoy that hour of freedom.  I headed to Whole Foods because ya know what?  There is always beauty there!  It can be the flowers or the fresh produce, but I absolutely love lingering.  I chose my usual Kevita Organic Pomegranate (<– You can purchase A CASE of it on Amazon, y’all!!) drink because it’s something that lifts my mood!

It was a refreshing break and then I headed back to finish my work before leaving for Starkville.  Last nights dinner was cheap – Mexican, which is my fave.  I didn’t have the greatest experience though.  I ordered my usual rice w/ sauteed veggies & a small cheese dip.  I found a piece of chicken and a piece of steak in my veggies though – so that was upsetting, but I finished off the rice and pushed all the veggies to the side.  That was disappointing and I won’t be eating there again.

We also watched “Walk of Shame” last night with Elizabeth Banks and it was hilarious, but cheesy.  One of those movies that would never actually happen in real life, but it was entertaining to watch.  Also, I adore Elizabeth Banks.

This morning, I woke up for a good run… except I woke up late and it wasn’t the greatest.  It was WAY TOO HOT!  I walked most of the way and also got a minor sunburn.  I did pass this sign though and had a TON of questions….

  1. Where was this camp when I was a kid? – Because I would have been there!
  2. What exactly does it entail?  – Is it a culinary camp?  Is it playing with your food camp?  Do make little men out of candy and then eat it?  I mean…. I HAVE NO IDEA!!!
  3. How old do you have to be?
  4. Is this why Mississippi has a high obesity rate?
  5. Is this like Fat Camp, but where being Fat is acceptable?

Seriously… I’m so curious!

I also really love running on Mississippi State’s campus because it’s just so pretty!  I could have used a little more shade though.  Don’t be fooled, that was practically the only shade I saw the entire run.

Now I’m off to figure out my gazillion WordPress questions!  Hope y’all have a wonderful Saturday.

  • What do you think Fun With Food camp is?
  • Have you seen Walk of Shame?  
  • What activity refreshes you in the middle of a monotonous boring work day?

March Bliss: Come Link-Up!

Who else is absolutely STUNNED that it’s the end of March?  Every year seems to go by quicker and quicker!  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some warmer weather, gosh darn it!  Usually in the South, we’re heating up, but it’s a continuous back & forth between hot and cold at the moment.  What’s your weather like right now?

Since it is the end of March, it’s time for our second link-up of Bliss and I can’t wait to see what you all share with us this month!

 
Haven’t heard about Bliss yet?  Well, on the last Wednesday of each month, link-up a post where you share some of your favorite things from the month.  It could be 1 thing, it could be 20 things – It could be a product, a person, or a moment in time. We just want to know about it!
Next Month’s Link-Up: APRIL 30TH

{1} Whitney English Day Designer
I’m sure every blogger who doesn’t own one of these is sick and tired of hearing other bloggers talk about it!  Just like when Erin Condren became so big, but y’all, I won this wonderful planner and although it’s taken some getting use to, I’m really enjoying it!  I tried to use it for work, blogging, & personal, but I think I need to just keep a separate work planner at work and a separate blogger/personal planner – so that’s what Whitney English is for me!  I have so many ideas for this blog and for local events/meet-ups.  I’m hoping this planner will help get me there!

{2} Arbonne Raisin LipGloss
This stuff is amazing!  I’m a huge fan of Arbonne mainly because they’re vegan!  This raisin color matches any and every skin tone though!  I’ve had it for about 2 months now and wear it almost every day, I don’t think it’s even close to running out.  If you get a chance to try it, please do!

{3} Vegetarian Sausage Biscuit
I had one of these yesterday morning and chances are I’ll have one again this morning.  I use the Morning Star brand of sausage (hot n’ spicy) and then I have a bag of frozen biscuits so I can use just one at a time since I’m usually cooking solo.  I made one for my ride to work and it was delicious.  How could I possibly miss meat when there are delicious alternatives that didn’t kill an animal?

{4} Mississippi State Baseball
I’ve been going to a lot of baseball games this season!  A friend of mine is married to a coach on the team and so she has great seats.  If no one is coming to town for the game then she always shares her tickets with me and Nick.  They’re right behind home plate.  I also bought my very first Mississippi State Baseball t-shirt this month and enjoyed wearing it to my last game.

(Photo Credit: Nick – he caught a foul ball at one of the games he went too)

Those are the main things I’ve been loving this month.  If you’ve been reading along, then you know that March has just been crazy for me so I’m glad I could enjoy these little pieces of Bliss throughout the month!

Stay tuned for something a little different on the blog next month!
