Best Orange EVER!!
Seriously where have these cara cara oranges been all my life and why did I just discover them now?!? :love: I used to not like oranges all that much (except clemenines obviously), but now I'm so obsessed with these cara cara oranges I'm giving them away to friends and coworkers. What other gems are lurking in the produce…

Hard career decision... need input
Last night a friend of mine from college was telling me about how much he LOVES his new job and the company he's working for. Lots of younger people, fast paced and cool perks (paid healthcare, gym on site, same or higher pay than my current job and more). I'm in this HUGE dilemma: do I go interview and check it out or…

HOORAY! Skinny jeans!
:bigsmile: I'm floating on cloud nine right now. I went shopping yesterday and a sales clerk asked if she could help me find a size in the shorts I was looking at. I told her, "I'm not 100% sure what size I need... maybe an 8?" She looked me up and down and said, "I don't think you're an 8" [I contemplated hitting her…

CRAP! Gum has fake sweetners?!
:sad: Now what do I chew??? I quit smoking and drinking diet coke with the help of gum... I NEED gum in my life! Are there any good mint gums out there with real sugar instead of this fake crap?

My FAVORITE Snack
I'm literally in the middle of eating it, and I just had to share my favorite new snack with everyone! I call it, "Lazy Guacamole". I cut an avocado in half and sprinkle with lemon juice and salt (at first I did this only to keep it from browning and I've kept it even if I'm eating it fresh). I dab a generous amount of hot…

Drivers License Weight
I just realized that I weigh less than my drivers license says! I don't think that's ever happened to me before; I have always weighed more. When I put 145 pounds down I was being stupid and lying (and since I was about 160 lbs I certainly couldn't leave the 135 pounds that it used to say there unchanged). Now I'm at 143.4…

Heartburn while running
I've noticed I get heartburn when I'm running. I've been running more lately than I ever have in my life so I don't have anything to compare this to. If I'm running around a 10 minute mile or slower I'm generally fine, but it can still start around mile 2.5. It's really bad when I'm pushing myself for a 8-9 minute mile…

Just overheard this conversation...
Coworker #1: I don't know why I'm so hungry Coworker #2: Aren't you on a new diet? What did you have for lunch? #1: I had a Snickers and a Diet Mountain Dew. #2: Well no wonder you're hungry! At least with the cabbage soup (diet she's currently on) I can eat a lot. #1: It's all the calories I can have, so I just have to…

Ack I don't have enough motivation!
Overall I'm doing well on my healthy lifestyle. It's work that's killing me right now... I feel like I only have so much willpower and motivation to use in my life and with most of it aimed at healthy lifestyle work is really slacking. (Hence the fact that I'm posting this while I should be working :blushing: ) I worked my…
