We are both carb-loading.
Too cool for school.
A much needed pep talk from my mom while eating turkey sandwiches.
Caramel popcorn, I love everything about you.
She’s a hugger.
Went on a walk and my reward was a spider in my hair from the tree behind me… bugs/insects are after me these days.
And for your enjoyment—> Brooke sings the ABC’s and I ramble (and I don’t really make sense).

I have had a pita thing lately, for whatever reason it seems to really hit that carb spot for me! Good luck this weekend, you are going to ROCK it!

Good luck tomorrow! My favorite carb lately has been sweet potatoes. My favorite way to make it is slice them up to make baked fries with cayenne and crushed red pepper. The sweet and spicy are my fav! My son has Football this weekend and then we are celebrating a friends birthday Saturday night! We just had a cool front in Texas, so I will be spending as much time outside as possible.

You two are adorable! Good luck this weekend!

Kneaders……..oh, reminds me of you friend!

Kristina @ Blog About Running
Hope you have a great weekend!! Just wanted to share this quote I came across that I am using for inspiration during my first marathon this weekend:
May your God run beside you
May you face the pain with grace
May you finish strong and happy
Grateful for this chance to race!
Ashley B.
You are going to do wonderfully in St. George, Janae–all of your careful/smart training will pay off! Enjoy yourself!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever has!

I am running a half marathon on Sunday as part of my training for my first marathon, and for some reason I’m nervous. So my sentence for the day will be “just stop and breathe”.
Caroline
Pumpkin bread might be my favorite carb of the moment! It’s delicious!!
Bee

Good luck!! I’ve been sorta stalking you and never really commenting on your posts but I’ve read every one of them for the past few months! I love your mindset, and your story of over exercising really resonates with me. I’m only 17 and I am currently waiting for my period to come back after having an eating disorder and seeing your pictures of Brooke and your story really motivates me to get healthy again. I hope one day I can have a beautiful daughter like Brooke and have an amazing relationship that you two share :) Sorry this post ended up being really long, just wanted you to know how much you have and are currently still empowering me over the inter web :)) have an amazing day and an even more amazing race <3

I love the pumpkin spice waffles! I currently have 5 boxes in my freezer. I’m afraid they will no longer be sold at Shop-Rite in a month or so. I love to eat them with whipped cream. Yum!!

My favorite carb lately would be…bread! As usual. Just can’t live without the stuff.
My sentence for the day would be….Can I just nap real quick? It’s going to be a super busy weekend and all I want to do is nap before it starts and it’s just not coming together for me!
This weekend is my friend’s wedding, so we have another friend who is in town and we’ll be eating, helping her run an 18 miler, brunching, shopping, and then celebrating!
