oh man it is the final countdown to the my California adventure… sick of me talking about it yet 🙂 ?
My life is a series of to-do lists and errands that absolutely must be done before Wednesday
One of my favorite features on my new mac is the “reminders” application that I already loved on the iPhone. To-do lists are my best friend.
A big task I am attempting to tackle is compiling easy peasy recipes to make while I’m in California. I’ve mentioned that I have slight “phobia” of my kitchen in Manhattan since it’s the size of a small closet and rather cramped. In California I will have a roomy kitchen to test out my culinary skills in. I already have a few go to recipes… and by that I mean I have 5 different delicious breakfast options I know how to make. Step 1 was bookmarking a gajillion recipes from various blogs I adore, step 2 is writing them down in my new fancy schmancy moleskine recipe book. Step 3 is actually creating this delicious delicious meal.
Wanted: easy peasy, healthy go to dinners. Preferably dairy free and if using animal protein only chicken or turkey. Any suggestions?
Day 13 What is your proudest health or fitness related accomplishment?
My proudest fitness accomplishment is running my first 5k this past August.
Running is not easy for me. At the beginning of the summer I could barely run 2 minutes. But I trained my butt off and built up my endurance
and on race day I ran the whole 3.1 miles with ease and without stopping– something I never dreamed was possible at the beginning of summer.
While it was “just a 5k” it became more than that to me. It was proof that working hard paid off. It made me realize how much I enjoy running. And mostly it made me want to run more. Once I have a more permanent living situation (aka I know where I will definitely be living after November…) I want to sign up for a 10k and then a half marathon. The 5k this summer was the first time I ever worked towards a fitness related goal, and I want it to be only the beginning of my running career.
I’ve come a long way since being that girl in gym class who couldn’t run a mile.
What’s your proudest accomplishment?
That’s awesome! It’s great when you set a goal and accomplish it.

That is so awesome! I know exactly how you feel. I’m training for a 5k right now and, even though I’m no where NEAR being a “runner” I’m already super pumped up about it. Congrats on running the whole way!
thank you! I think signing up for a race and committing to training is enough to qualify someone as a runner 🙂
