peanut butter and jelly

Life lately

Hey there. School has picked up a bit for me and I’ve been busy! Here is what has been going on in my life lately:

– I’m still training for the June marathon and so far I have been injury free. I have been running outside- okay I run outside like once week. I always try to do my long run outside though. This week's long run^My long run for this week done in 30* temps. I can’t wait for warm weather running! For the marathon, I am focusing on training conservatively. If I end up liking marathons then I will train more seriously for my second. No need to stress!

-I am convinced that a pb&j a day keeps the doctor away. Just kidding. But really. I am loving pb&j sandwiches! 

I finished reading this book:-Now I’m onto this book:I have been making time in my day to do “personal” things like reading for pleasure and writing in my journal. I notice on the days when I neglect to read my Bible, journal, or just read, I get stressed out. So I try to do something little for myself each day.

Other things:

I have been planning and doing a lot of behind the scenes-type things that I will inform everyone of as soon as I can. These things involve a possible job (surprise to come near the end of February!), a fundraiser, and something else. Fun stuff!

-I love this boy:Oh yeah, I still suck at bowling. Like anyone thought that was going to change 😉

-Pittsburgh got snow:Brrrr.

Alrighty, I’m off to shop for a Valentine’s Day gift for Jimmy. I have no idea what to get him…. any ideas?! (He’s really into technology + video games + boy-type stuff.)

Have a great day!

Recent eats

HiiiiiiiiTime to share some delicious food I’ve been eating lately:Hard boiled eggs. I like fried eggs better, especially when the yolk is runny!

Split pea soup and salad with lettuce, tomato, red onion, craisins, and sunflower seeds.

Oatmeal and coffee before a morning swim.

Collard Greens. I microwaved them with some olive oil to make them chip-like and added salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

Iced coffee. In February. It’s good.

Chocolate soy milk! This is super creamy and chocolately, I love it!

Homemade peanut butter. The one on the left is honey flavored and the one on the right is cinnamon flavored.

Starbucks! Bible study time with Jimmy ❤ he got a grande white chocolate mocha and I got a tall soy peppermint mocha.

An English muffin with peanut butter, jelly, and banana.

Sunday dinner. We roasted a turkey. It felt like Thanksgiving except I should have made pumpkin pie. Dang.

Sunday dinner leftovers. Turkey sandwich + potatoes.

Peanut butter and jelly. Favorite.

Dinner from Market District. I pretty much tried everything from the hot foods and salad bars.
