My knee sucks.

Well my knee started hurting in the middle of my run yesterday, but I kind of figured I had just upset it by sitting on my ankle with my knee it the bent position all day.  I put an ice pack on it over night and it seemed to help, but alas. When I woke up this morning my knee was still in pain. It pretty much hurt all day and when I attempted to run on it this evening, I fell short of completing even half a mile. This gave me the excuse to make a trip to Target to find a knee brace! We'll see if that helps any. If not I'll most likely be seeing a doctor so I don't do any kind of serious damage to myself.

So I have a delicious breakfast to share with you all! I found it on the ever so wonderful Pinterest. It's basically an overnight cold oatmeal. Yeah, I know...Cold. Oatmeal. Weird, right? Well it was better than I expected it to be!

Here's what you'll need!
1/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk


1/3 cup 100% Whole Grain Oats


1/3 cup Plain Greek Yogurt


1/2 of a Banana


1 TBS Chia Seeds


Cinnamon To Taste


Stevia To Taste 




Next, put all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix it up!! 

Now, you may be asking yourself "What the hell are Chia Seeds?" Well I'll tell you what they are...They are exactly what you're thinking. That's right. Chia Seeds. As in "Cha Cha Cha Chia!" I found them at GNC. You can also find them on Amazon and they may be available at local health food markets. They've got all sorts of health benefits including Omega-3 fatty acids!

After you've got this delicious mess all mixed up, put it in a container and dream about eating it in the morning.


I put some strawberries in it and it was preeeeety tasty. I'll probably be having this for breakfast for the rest of the week. It was super simple to make and it kept me full until lunch.

Here's hoping tomorrow's run won't be as painful as today's!

Dude, seriously??

Ok...it's been almost 2 years since I even had a glance at this blog. One post and I call it quits? Ugh...so typical!

 So what's new? Well, I gained another 10 pounds, for starters! That's right, I'm back up 20 pounds. I've just been such a slacker!! I JUST LOVE BONELESS WINGS AND THE INTERNET SO MUCH!!!

In other news, I've decided to start a new life changing journey. I'm going to be running a half marathon at Disney this November! Let me first start off by saying I am not a runner. The most I've ever ran was 2 miles on a treadmill. That so doesn't count. I used to be able to run a real mile (you know...outside...on the ground) but on that same note I was 20 pounds lighter. So when this hefty princess decided it was time to get back on the track, it didn't go as well as it had in the past. I started off at a good pace, breathing, jogging, feeling good...then about 30 seconds later I feel like I need a damn inhaler. And I'm like "...the hell?!"

SO, here's to getting back on track, cutting back on the boneless wings and internet, and start living the life I want to live. Who's gonna want a chubby, unhealthy dietitian? No one, that's who.
