Well not really-I’m at work. If you haven’t noticed I’ve been MIA lately. Friday and Saturday are my 2 days off and I was running around doing errands like a chicken with my head cut off. I had so many things I wanted to do that just kept piling up, and I finally took the time to finish them all. WHEW!
Some exciting news-I got a new camera! Not because I wanted to, but because the other one just stopped working…and it wasn’t the battery. I was bummed because I can’t really afford a new camera right now, and was happy with the other one. I was at Costco on Friday picking up some goods and noticed they had a Cannon Powershot on sale so I ran back there yesterday, Saturday, and picked one up.
I really like it so far, but I’m still getting used to it. My other camera was more comfortable to me, but I know this one can be just as good.
A little background story on me and cameras. Ever since I got my very first digital camera I have lost or broken them. The Cannon that just stopped working yesterday was my 4th digital camera in like 3 or 4 years. I had it for about 2 years (the longest I’ve ever kept a camera) and grew to love it. I couldn’t believe I had a camera for 2 years with out losing or breaking it, and then yesterday it just stopped working. So I hope my new camera will be good to me, and I will learn to love it as well.
Old camera: Cannon Powershot SD740
New Camera: Cannon Powershot SD1200
There are things the old one does that the new one doesn’t, but there are things the new one does the old one doesn’t. I guess I’ll get used to it.
I had some pretty amazing breakfasts over the past few days. I got this idea from Kristen’s blog and decided to try it, but my own version. I add 1/2 C Kashi Go Lean Crunch, 1/2 C Kashi Heart to Heart, fruit, Peanut Butter & Co Mighty Maple Peanut Butter, and yogurt. I mixed up the concoction and microwaved it for 2 minutes till warm and gooey. This is soooo good! It is right up there with oatmeal!
I had the same breakfast bowl Friday and Saturday morning with a peach, 2 Tbs of Peanut Butter, and Trader Joe’s Honey flavored greek yogurt.
Today I had a breakfast bowl with raspberries, Trader Joe’s non fat black cherry yogurt, and 1 Tbs Peanut Butter. The difference in yogurt and fruit really threw me for a loop, but was just as tasty.
I absolutely love Peanut Butter in everything, and I think it really makes this bowl. It warm and gooey, and oh so good. I have 2 jars that are just about empty. I see oats in a jar for breakfast in my near future!
Lunch was something I had before, but again I changed it up a bit.
- 1 can tuna in water drained
- 2 heaping Tbs hummus
- 1 carrot diced
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- sprinkling of low-fat feta
- salt and pepper to taste
I ate this wonderful tuna salad with a whole wheat tortilla ‘chips’. This was really really yummy believe it or not. All the flavors really meshed well together. I’m definitely going to do this again!
In other news-I decided to sign up for a group run on Tuesday hosted by Georgetown Running Co. in Chevy Chase. I’ve been looking for people to run with so I thought this was a great opportunity to do a night run with other runners in the area. I can’t wait!
I also may be signing up for Body & Soul Fitness. Ever heard of it? Well Chris’ mom does it and loves it. It takes place at a baptist church and it is a cardio/strength work out, and their motto is “Where Faith and Fitness Meet”. I’ve been looking for a church/place of worship in my area, but not really sure where to go so I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to get some prayer in while working out. I’m a little nervous, but we’ll see how it goes.
I changed up my workout schedule to fit my new class/runs. I am going to try them both out to see how it goes, and then decide after that if I want to make permanent changes.
I didn’t workout this morning, but I brought my running clothes to work so I can change right after I am done and do a lovely 5 miles in the neighborhoods behind where I work. I’ve been meaning to run here for a change of scenery so I thought today is the perfect day to do that.
See you later for a recap of my delicious spin on Giada’s Lemon Basil Salmon and pasta.

Fantastic site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and easy to follow. On a lot of blogs people just drone on and on, but not you – very nice. Please check out my comedy blog at http://www.DomainB.org and let me know what you think of it. Keep up the great work!
