Oh hey there! Good to see ya! Unfortunately I can’t take responsibility for my return. In fact, yours truly has been in high demand to start back up on the blogging (and by high demand I mean my brother telling me he needed new reading material – shout out to you Jeff). So consider this my comeback and my return like that of Whitney Houston, Britney Spears or…Betty White.
When prodded to start this sucker back up I asked for suggestions on what to write about and Jeff’s wasn’t half bad – an update on my resolutions. So here goes.
Update (or lack thereof):
- To blog more often - well, clearly we all know how that's going. Suffice it to say I haven't been keeping up with that. So far I'm failing.
- To stop cussing so much - actually I think I have cut back on this. Probably not due to putting forth solid effort - I think I've just stopped talking so much
- To run a half marathon - currently training for that so mark that one down as in progress!
- Buy a good camera and take more pictures - so far, haven't done this. But, I am planning on getting a new camera for our honeymoon in June, so soon this one will be done
- Finish decorating my house - I've made baby steps, but nowhere close to finishing. Finishing would require money, which I've obviously got to spend on a camera
- Exercise more with Cam - with the marathon training comes more exercise with the pup, so you can check that one off the list! (proof below)
This was not even 5 minutes after walking in the door after a run. Aw Bubby :)The running is going good so far. It's a patient process for someone who has little of it, and I constantly find myself having to get over the fact that this is not an overnight thing. I get frustrated a lot with the small progress that I make, while Aaron, running a clear mile ahead of me makes the same in two days. But I'll chalk that up to the difference between men and women and science stuff. I'm up to averaging 2ish miles on a daily run, 3 being the longest so far. Hopefully soon that will change to higher numbers. My training program doesn't officially start until July, so until then I'll be trying to speed up my pace and build up my lungs.
On the food front, I've been cooking lots of goodies lately that I'll hopefully get around to sharing. Such goodies include but are not limited to: homemade taquitos, herb quinoa, flank steak pitas, fish en papillote, pureed cauliflower, homemade protein bars, chicken with pilaf and house made Dijon cream sauce, red sauce, etc. It will be hard to put these into recipes though because I'm one of those non-measuring cooks. I measure when I bake, b/c I don't mess with science. So putting my "eh, whatever looks like a tablespoon" like-quantities down will be a challenge, but I'll take it!
On my run tonight I'll be thinking of more topics to blog about, but you could do me a solid and maybe suggest some things you'd like to hear about, and I'll dedicate said blog in your name!
xoxo
