On Tuesday I was feeling a little off. The foods I normally eat (besides peanut butter) didn’t taste good. I felt sluggish and sad. I think it may have been post long weekend blues?
I made a strawberry/blueberry/raspberry smoothie and it didn’t taste good. (What the heck?!?) So I added peanut butter. Then it tasted like pb&j. Kinda cool.
I spent some time on my back porch reading before work. It felt like summer 🙂
The Doctor’s Wife is considered a psychological thriller. It really is intense! I am enjoying it a lot especially because the book is written about the town where my mom grew up [Gloversville, NY] so I know all of the places the author talks about and I feel so connected.
I was in such a funk on Tuesday that I broke my favorite dish.
It had been holding broccoli and corn bread. (Yeah.. Chili in June..) I ate the broccoli w/o washing it and got another hunk of corn bread. I was legit sad about the dish.
I have been looking through all my foodie pictures and I notice a lot of drinks..
A frozen latte after my race victory on Sunday. Spoiled.
I noticed in the summer that I mostly drink all of my calories. I drink smoothies, thick creamy coffee drinks, and juice. I also eat liquid foods like watermelon, ice cream, yogurt and pureed soup. Interesting!

I didn’t follow my coach’s plan and run 4 miles today. I didn’t run any miles because my legs were sore and my knee hurt. No shame, no shame!
My mom, sister, and I are going to look a bathing suits tonight for our cruise in 11 days. (!!!) Jim is home sick from work so please pray for him to feel better, poor little guy :/.

Do you drink your calories in the summer?
Living My Full Life 
I defintely drink MORE calories in the summer.. via smoothies of course! Otherwise.. water is really my go too.. I do switch from hot coffe to unsweetened iced tea.. but it is probably a GOOD switch!
I try not to drink too many calories – unless I plan them to be part of a meal, like a breakfast smoothie. Hope your knee feels better!
I drink more calories in the summer. Well actually I like a lot of coffee with creamer in the wintertime so I’m not too sure. I hope you get out of your funk soon. 🙂
I avoid drinking my calories year round just ebcuase sometimes they arent so plentiful! I still do have my iced coffees though! Just… healthified!
Mmm, iced coffee is the BOMB!
You must really be looking forward to that cruise. I’m glad you liked your PB&J smoothie!
I am SO looking forward to the cruise 😀
Good for you taking a rest day! I have a hard time doing that, but it is a must when your body says “whoa.”
I drink a lot more calories in the summer— especially with fruity alcohol!
The other morning when I was making pancakes, I did a final “flip” and totally threw it across the room. 5 second was used;) I try not to drink my calories, but milkshakes are my weakness!
Sorry to hear that your Tuesday was not good and I am really sorry for your fave dish being broken! I always feel sad when I broke my fave tea mug or something…and that happens a lot 🙂
Hope you´ll enjoy the rest of the week much more and have some amazing things waiting for you!
I am like you, when the summer approaches, I drink smoothies, thick juices, eat watermelons, cucumbers, I am soaking all the water around :))
I forgot about cucumbers! Those are the best in the summer 🙂
Sorry to hear about your favorite plate, that’s no fun! 😦 Funky days seem to throw me for a loop every once in awhile too haha
I’m like you, I LOVE my cold smoothies in the summer, they’re just so refreshing and full of flavor 🙂 Have fun swimsuit shopping for your cruise! WOO!!!
I’ve had off days too and they are no fun! The good thing is they don’t last.
I hate breaking dishes – especially when they have food in them. The worst is oatmeal because it’s pretty much unsalvagable.
That book looks good! Is it fiction or nonfiction?
Have fun with your mom and sis!
The book is fiction !
I hate drinking my calories honestly. It has to be really good and worth it for me to even bother.
Lately I’ve been drinking tons of smoothies. With the heat right around the corner I imagine I’ll be doing it more frequently for sure!
I never drink very many of my calories, but the foods I eat in the summer are liquid-ier (word?) Like yogurt, icecream, hummus, etc. The only caloric drink I really think I crave more in the summer would be OJ. It’s a rarity that I drink it, but it is so good. so refreshing.
i smashed my camera yesterday too, (so devastated but i have days like that 😦 )
drinks ? summer is the perfect excuse for anything smoothie, juicy cool and frothy .!
hope you feeling better now allie !
I’m so sorry about your camera!
i don’t usually drink my calories but i have “phases’….when i have a green juice/smoothie phase, boy do i go through those greens!!
Peanut butter to berry smoothie sounds fun! For me too, summers bring a spike in calorie intake – thanks to lemonade, smoothies & soda.
Nooooooooooo! I’m sorry about the dish! On the bright side, your smoothie looks purty. 🙂
When it comes to liquid calories, I try to stay true to good ole clean water but sometimes the beauty that is happy hour at Sonic lures me in…especially when you’re in a car full of friends who have no interest in eating clean at all. 😛
I love how you broke your favourte dish and then quickly ran to photgraph it. Your a blogger!! I usually never drink my calories…sometimes I make an exception in the super hot days
Those kinda foods are so good in the summer. I eat so much fruit and salads and smoothies in the summer. The only drinks I drink regularly are water, black coffee and milk haha. I hope Jim feels better soon and that you don’t stay in a funk for very long!
Sorry you’re off/in a funk!! Hoping that tomorrow is SO MUCH better!!
I love reading outside in the summer! A PBJ smoothie sounds delicious!
Yay for cruise! So envious! Your smoothie looks yum, and under the sun! Here it’s been raining and raining and coooooooooold… Believe me, not sunny California you imagine… I hate when I break my favorite dish, and if it’s one of a set…….grrr…. Hope you are feeling better now. It’s FRIDAY! 🙂
take care of those speedy legs. And yes, I TOTALLy drink my calories.
Good for you to not run!
