Taco Night!

Aaaaand we start week two. Seriously, other than the no beer or cheese rule, this is so much easier than I thought it would be (so far).

Tonight was taco night and IT WAS DELICIOUS. Organic ground beef with hot taco seasoning on fresh romaine lettuce with fresh tomatoes, onions, rotel (obviously not fresh...), and a giant bowl of my fresh guacamole. Y'all, it was tasty. It was also a fun time in the kitchen with the roommates. Lots of giggling is involved when the three of us try to cook together.

I've mastered the fine art of scrambled eggs in the cafeteria and I'm finally starting to feel full after eating less. Turns out a week of detoxing will do that to your stomach, which is good because you can only find so many vegetables in the caf. Pinto beans? Um, no. Kidney beans? I'd rather die.

Kicking ass on the elliptical is getting easier, too. Can you run a half marathon on an elliptical? Hmmm. I want to run another half, but we're about to get into summer super hot time and I don't want to be yakking every other mile...perhaps a cooler weather half marathon would be best. Any suggestions? And who wants to run it with me? You know you want to...

Tomorrow evening I will try to master the art of detoxing while dining out. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm not really looking forward to it, but I'll report back. I would try to think of more things to add to this post if I thought I could stay awake any longer. Off to bed for Granny Gibson!

PS - Down 5.5 pounds from last week!

so much for becoming a legit blogger...

It's been a month and a half since my last post...oops.

Things of note:

• finally moved in to the new house
• no longer sitting in a camping chair watching a tv placed randomly on the floor.
• couches, chairs and tables - oh my!
• adorable puppy-child named Fischer (see below)
• less than a month and the roommates will be here...hooray!
• hoping to start half-marathon training around August 1 (and hoping to blog about it)
• going back to work on August 3.

The last month and half has been awesome. Lots of fun nights with good friends, lazy days with Fischer, quality time at my parents house visiting family, trips to the lake/river, baseball games and plenty of sunshine. I'm so thankful to have such great friends, family and opportunities. It's a shame summer is almost over. Here's to making the most of the two weeks I've got left!
