Hi!
I’ve been lazy.
I took a test for my Teacher certification (and passed!) and then continued to do nothing else but watch Revenge, eat, workout, and finish some other things for school for the rest of the week.
I complain that I have ‘no time’ but somehow like 10 episodes of Revenge have been watched in the last 3 days. Ha!
Here’s a photo dump of what has been going on
Can’t decide if this outfit goes together?
It’s been RIDICULOUSLY warm outside these past few days…and I just can’t justify wearing bright colors, shorts, and flipflops in January so I TRY to look ‘winterish’ but it’s been 85 DEGREES out. I could really go for some like 70 degree running weather, PLEASE.
This was the sky on my way to the gym the other day. So lovely.
Out to dinner with some friends for a girls night at Timpano. Hate this picture of me but whatever.
A good dinner I cooked for myself the other day. Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus, and grilled chicken with lemon pepper.
Notice the bottle of coconut oil in the background? Ya, I’m still figuring out when/how to use that stuff. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Love my of LIIIIFE…
Ginormous water I drank yesterday during an all day training for school. 
Yesterday’s Crossfit session…Yikes! The test was 3 minutes of double unders (I did 159), the SWOD was OHS (Overhead squats) (I got up to 75 lbs) and the WOD was 10 minute AMRAMP (as many reps as possible) of 30 Double Unders and 15 Power Snatches (I got through 4 rounds using 45 lbs on my bar for the snatch). Ohhh my heart rate was through.the.roof. I love it.
Last night I made black bean burgers from Cooking Light Mag. Basically it goes as follows:
Can of black beans in the food processor with an egg and Canola oil. Add mixture to a bowl with panko crumbs, green onions, cumin, red pepper, garlic cloves, and salt. I divided the mixture into four patties and coated with panko bread crumbs. I put canola oil into a skillet and cooked the patties on each side for about 4-5 minutes on med-high heat.
On the side I roasted brussels with s/p, evoo, and honey. Then when I took them out of the oven I put a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt and pepper on the brussels and mixed them in a bowl.
I just went shopping. Let’s not discuss that.
Now I am going to nap and catch up on Top Chef. I’m trying to enjoy myself before I start a full time teacher’s schedule on Monday! Uhohhhh, I’m a real person (minus the pay check).
xo,

PS. Good luck to all the Walt Disney World Marathon/Half Marathon runners!! It was one year ago that I completed my first half marathon at the WDW Marathon. I can’t believe it’s only been a year











The picture of the Pup should be submitted to a magazine. Too cute. So should the food pics. Looks delish.
I have recently been using coconut oil to pan fry veggies in. It has a higher smoke point that olive oil, so it doesn’t snap, crackle, pop, and burn me.
Hmm interesting. Next time I pan fry veggies I’ll try it! I just automatically reach for the evoo and always forget.
The chicken dish looks delicious.
Congrats on passing your teaching test! Have you met the class you will be working with on Monday? What grade? From one teacher to another, I am so excited for you to get started!
Ahh, thanks! I’m super excited also. It will be 3rd grade…I haven’t really met the students yet, just stopped in the classroom. It’s going to be a great experience.
Congratulations on passing your teaching exam girl. Go out & celebrate
Thanks
