I am starting to feel like I will never be one of those people that loves running. I had a couple of good runs a few weeks ago, but I seem to get worse and worse at it each time I try lately! I thought I would give running outside a try on Friday night. I figured I would run to Rachel’s since it is a mile and a half away. I swear it took me like 20+ minutes. I didn’t ever really notice it was all uphill practically on the way to her house. Plus the cold air made my lungs burn. I felt like a failure. Its only going to be colder in January!
Saturday night we went to Kristin’s Christmas party, which was fun. Lots of good vegetarian options 
The girls
We left the party a little early because of the snow and we needed to go to Target to get some snow gear and stuff to finish the bathroom remodel. I really liked these ear muffs, but the glasses, not so much
Sunday morning we went to breakfast with Rachel and Al to a place down the street called Country View…not Golden Egg. Golden Egg in Portsmouth is our favorite, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the spinach omelette I got here. It was nice to spend time with Rachel and Al!
I'm really excited about breakfast, obviously.
Rachel and I attempted to go to a craft fair after this, but it didn’t end up happening because we thought there was one at a particular place, but it was the weekend before. I spent the rest of the day finishing Christmas wrapping and doing chores and errands.
I have been slacking on posting about food and taking pictures of food, so I will leave you with a pic of my healthy lunch from today. Salad, homemade veggie soup and some grapes. I won’t mentiont he fact that I had a pop tart a little while ago to tide me over until dinner, since we are working overtime and I won’t get a chance for a snack before Zumba!
I will post some bathroom remodel pics soon!
Hi Beckie!
Running outside in the winter is really hard, so try not to get discouraged. Usually I try to spend the winter doing strength stuff, and maybe yoga…anything indoors. I’ve also signed up for a few short races, Jingle Bell runs and the like. They really keep me motivated in winter and make the runs fun.
You are motivating me to eat better…keep up the great work, you look amazing!!
