Deer in the front yard

We finally made our way to Gainesville around 3am (FL time) this morning.  We weren’t able to leave Starkville until about 5pm, so we grabbed our Starbucks before heading out.

Woke up this morning and grabbed some BREAKFAST – it turned out perfect!  An open-faced egg & cheese sandwich.  It fueled me for our run this morning!

We had the most exciting encounter on our run this morning!

DEER!!!!!

They were standing right in the front yard of a house for sale and they didn’t run off or anything!  We saw 2 adults and kept walking then saw 3 little babies!  I couldn’t believe how calm they were and how close they were!  It was the coolest thing!

Once we passed by the first time, I wanted to get a picture with them on our way back, but they had started moving.  You can barely see them and at this point they were eyeing me down because they were back with their babies.  If you look closely between those 2 trees below, you’ll see them standing there.

I was overwhelmed with excitement.  They were so beautiful!

My dad’s been sending me the cutest pictures of cappie too, so here’s something to brighten up your hopefully amazing 4th of July!

He made himself right at home at my Nanny’s house this weekend!

  • Have you ever seen deer on a run that close to you?
  • What are you doing today for the 4th?

We’re about to go to a 4th of July party and we’ll be seeing some fireworks tonight, of course!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

June Bliss – Books, Blogs, & Burgers!

 

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Today we’re linking up our Bliss posts, but before we get to that let’s talk about BREAKFAST & my WORKOUT this morning.  I chose to do a 30 minute walk this morning since my legs are so sore from the HIIT class I took last night!  Man, that class wears me out – think about squat after squat after squat or lunge after lunge after lunge….. ouch!  I came home this morning and had a glass of chocolate milk, a banana, & a boiled egg & vegetarian bacon english muffin!  Now I’m off to get ready for work, but check out what’s been bringing me Bliss this month!

PRODUCTS/THINGS

Blogging_for_Books_Lockup_2

{1} Never Eat Alone

I recently became a “Blogging for Books” Affiliate and now receive free books to review.  You’ll get a full review once I complete this book, but I have LOVED it so far.  Sure, I’m only on Chapter 2, but I already know I’m going to learn a ton!  It’s a business book and talks about networking & relationships.  Stay tuned for my review in a couple weeks!

{2} Jack LaLanne Juicer

I was super excited when I found this beauty at Dirt Cheap for a mere $26!!! I’ve used it a handful of times now and still can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have found it!  If you’ve thought about juicing, I would recommend a Jack Lalanne Juicer, but hopefully you can score a great deal like I did!

{3} Blender Bottle

Not only has this shaker been great for my juices, but it’s been an excellent way to keep up with my water consumption at work.  I’ve had a problem getting plenty of water throughout the day, so I’m working on drinking one blender bottle by 12:30 and another by 4:30 so I at least get about 50 ounces of water during the day.

BLOGGERS/POSTS

I like to dedicate a portion of my #BloggerBliss to new bloggers I’ve been able to find throughout the month!  It helps keep me engaged with bloggers and constantly finding new blogs to support and hopefully new friendships down the road!  I’ve been transitioning my blog into a more health conscious blog so I can encourage myself to eat better and workout more, but also encourage others.  This month I found some really great Healthy Living blogs & posts to share!

{1} Char Eats Greens

This girl became a vegetarian and then quickly became a vegan!  I love finding other bloggers like me!  She’s also a runner & loves Starbucks – clearly we’re meant to be friends!  And if you’re thinking that going vegan means you have to cut out all the good stuff – then you should seriously check out her recipe for Triple Threat Vegan Gluten-Free Brownies because oh em gee… I’m giving that a try for sure!

{2} Sweet Miles: A running & lifestyle blog

I love the clean feel to this blog.  You get there and instantly feel refreshed!  She’s another runner, but I love drawing inspiration and encouragement from other bloggers who run.  When I read about their runs, it helps me envision my own run and gets me motivated.   She’s not all about running though – her goal is a healthy lifestyle.  She created this amazing post for 7 Ways to Maintain a Healthy & Active Marriage and although I’m not married, I could re-title it 7 Ways to Maintain a Healthy & Active Relationship because I think that’s just as important and I felt like most of these could be applied to mine and Nick’s relationship – with the exception of some things due to our long-distant relationship!

{3} Bagels to Broccoli

Another blog that’s clean and refreshing to stumble upon!  Jen isn’t a vegetarian (as far as I can tell), but she works to incorporate more veggies and a healthy lifestyle.  In fact, she recently completed her very FIRST half-marathon! {You can read about that here}

It has been such a treat stumbling onto these ladies blogs and I hope you’ll enjoy them too!

MOMENTS

I, of course, enjoy recapping some special moments from the month and the biggest one that sticks out to me is finally switching my blog over from From Here to There to No Bologna!  I’d been wanting to make a change for so long and I feel like a dream has finally come alive!! It’s still a work in progress, but I love what this space is becoming and how it’s encapsulating my love for health, veggies, & fitness!

I forgot to mention that Nick and I tried out Majestic Burger!  I’m not sure if it’s a local place or if there are chain restaurants floating around, but I went with their veggie burger and it was great!  Plus those onion rings… I could make a meal out of any kind of fried side dish… onion rings, pickles, zucchini, okra… you name it!

Lastly… National Donut Day…. Enough Said!

New Blog: Transition!

 

Good morning!

This has been a long anticipated transition.  I had been using my previous blog, From Here to There, for some time, but the name no longer fit this season in my life since I’m no longer moving around or figuring out my place in life.  I lost interest and stopped blogging over the past month or so.  I became a vegetarian back in January and so my “dead” blog (Yes, No Bologna did exist once before) has been revived and is now what you see today!  I’ll keep From Here to There up for another week or so, but if you enjoy reading my previous blog, then you’ll want to make sure you follow along here so you don’t miss anything when the transition is complete!

Yesterday morning I went on a good run.  It was more intervals than anything because I was pretty sore in my butt & calves.  I’m starting to notice that I sweat more and I’ve heard that people who are in better shape sweat a whole lot, so I’m hoping that’s the case and not single-handedly because it’s June in Mississippi!

sweat-run

sweaty-runNick came into town for the weekend, after my run, we all went to eat mexican for Father’s Day.  It was delicious, per usual!  I got my typical rice w/ sauteed veggies & cheese dip.  After lunch we needed to pick up my dad’s gift and settled on a gardening hat & mockingbird feeder for his garden.  He loved it and hung up the feeder right away!  My sisters were also in town this weekend, so we played some Phase 10 and ate up some watermelon – which is quite possibly my all time favorite summer snack!

 We are also saying “See ya real soon!” {in my best Mickey voice} to Nick’s brother and sister-in-law as they move on to Florida!!  While we went to Disney back in May, we picked up our baby gifts.  We finally gave them those yesterday and they LOVED them, of course!  Baby has his very first signature book and the softest, cutest little baby Mickey rattle!

disney-gift

 The love I have for these people is unreal!  So blessed to have them in my life! Also, that fuschia top is my fave!  I got it through Stitch Fix (affiliate link!)

Nick and I also went to see 22 Jump Street and it was HILARIOUS!  I was skeptical, but I laughed throughout the whole thing and loved it!! 

Now I’m off to work, but hope y’all have a great Monday!

  • Have you seen 22 Jump Street Yet?  Did you love it or hate it?
  • What’s your favorite summertime snack?
