Pumpkin Overload

Friends, I don't want to say it, but I think I have to.

I am experiencing a pumpkin overload. I have not been feeling the pumpkin trend AT ALL. What's wrong with me? I think I just overdid it with the pumpkin flavored things in anticipation of fall. But, now that it's here, I have no desire for pumpkin treats. The last two times I went to SBux, I ordered a pumpkin latte or americano and it tasted fine...I just think I'm over it! I feel like I'm mourning the loss of something...I'm a little sad.

Maybe it'll come back to me.

Some recent eats:

Chocolate-covered strawberry oatmeal: oats, water, choc protein powder, heaping scoop strawberry jam

As some of you may know, I keep track of my workouts by using both the Nike+ SportWatch and the Nike+ FuelBand.

The SportWatch is for running. It tells me my pace, time elapsed, mileage, estimated caloric burn, and it can show me my run on a map using GPS. The FuelBand measures movement and gives me a number to demonstrate how much I have (or haven't) moved each day.

For the FuelBand, you set a daily goal. They have recommended goals, but you can personalize it to match your personal goals. When you meet or exceed your goals, you get badges and rewards. Just thought I'd share a few of mine.

Fastest mile! When I started running a few months ago, I was averaging an 11 min/mile!

Woo hoo!!!


Methinks I need to set my goal higher. Running helps me reach my goal before I even get to the office.

I made a kickass tuna salad (tuna, mustard, mayo, red grapes, walnuts, salt & pep) for lunch today. I'm gonna go scarf it.

Till next time, have fun being bad.
