Pizza, cookies, running, and Jim

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:21

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post concerning the stress about being able to go to college on a scholarship with an injury. I was actually able to run outside [5.7 miles!] on Friday (with my brace on) I brought my phone with me and read comments as they were coming to my email-yeah I had tears in my eyes because I love everyone & all the rockin comments I got 🙂

Can I teach you how to make delish iced coffee? I can? Okay, good.

Easy iced coffee

* 1 cup of coffee brewed and refrigerated in a to-go mug

*1 chilled glass filled with ice

* 1/2 cup milk (I use soy!)

*1 & 1/2 Tbs vanilla coffee syrup

Directions: Chill the coffee in the refrigerator for 3 hours. After 3 hours, fill your chilled glass with ice. Pour the vanilla syrup into the glass, followed by the milk, and then the coffee. Stir with a straw and enjoy!

Stir her up and enjoy!!

Other foodie pictures:

I have been obsessed with pizza and cookies lately. I feel like i’m in Jr. High all over again!!

Yes, I am (kind of) a food blogger. Yes, I eat cookies. Yes, I eat cheese. God forbid, right?! LOL.

Watermelon makes me indescribably happy… can you tell?

I have been doing a lot of this lately

(cleaning)

I’ve also been cooking pureed soup for Jimmy (the boy <3) because he got his wisdom teeth out. I won’t post a picture of him after the surgery buuut I’ll show you some really cool photos of him instead!

Can you guess what Jim’s profession is?!

Off

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?
