A Girl Obsessed.

Did you know that the crappiest weather really is the best to run in sometimes? Today brought chilllllly temps (especially compared to the 90 degree days we had this weekend) and sprinkles of rain all day. I wasn't looking forward to rushing outside and getting my run in.

But I should have been.

As soon as I started running I knew that I was stupid for trying to avoid it. It was one of the best runs I've had in a few months. While it was only 3 miles (wish I could have done more but baby girl had a 2 hour early dismissal today) it felt AMAZING:-)

 
Oh hello negative splits, it's nice to see you again.
 
I told myself that my last mile was going to be sub-8, just for shits. I could have done it, but I'm glad I didn't push myself too much. I need to remember that I'm not training for anything these days. I'm running just because I love to run.
 
I'll save the sub-8 and 7s for my next 5K;-)
 
After my run I did 20 minutes of ankle weights and resistance band work for the bootay.
 
I don't know what has been going on with me recently, but my hunger is out.of.control. Seriously. It's almost burdening. I mean, I allllllways have a healthy appetite, but recently it's been crazy. Time to check myself.
 
Perhaps it's all in my head though, and I just want to fill up on these goodies while I can.
 

Best Greek Yogurt Ever.

 
These pita crisps are AWESOME. Combine that with a pumpkin ale (who doesn't crave salty carbs with their beer) and you've pretty much entered.
 
What can I say, I'm a girl obsessed. And that's just 3 of the pumpkin treats currently in my kitchen. I'm not going to show you the pumpkin cereal bars, pumpkin ice cream, and pumpkin granola.
 
People say that they gain weight during the holiday season. Screw that. I'm about to put on 10 lbs of strictly this delicious, orange, fall gourd.......
 
You know the scene in Willy Wonka where Violet turns into a blueberry. Yeah. It's going to be just like that.

    1. I LOVE TJs Pumpkin Butter, but I never thought to dip a pita chip in it! Hmmm......I definitely won't diss it though, some of the weirdest sounding combinations are the best.

    1. Haha! The original Willy Wonka is awesome! The yogurt is really good.....my 7 year old had to stop me from buying more pumpkin products than I did. I can get obnoxious when it comes to pumpkin.

    1. Yay! It's the best. I don't have one near me, but luckily I visit that part of VA often so I can go. They have ALL of your pumpkin and booze needs!

  5. 1. PUMPKIN greek yogurt?? MUST have.
    2. I like that you drink beer...because a lot of bloggers don't, or they don't post it, and I feel weird when I drink it. But let's be honest...I love beer...I drink beer...and I refuse to change =)
    3. If I had to choose ONE thing to gain weight on...it would be pumpkin flavored things. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin beer, apparently pumpkin greek yogurt....I'm in.

    1. The yogurt is SO good. Especially with granola in it!

      HAHA! YES! I love beer. and I drink plenty of it, probably more than I'd like to admit....and most of the time, it's Bud Light! lol. Yes, I like cheap beer and I'm not ashamed to admit it:-D

      I couldn't agree with you more! Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!
