Heyyyy, cute Mohawk Bentley! The things this dog puts up with ;D
Happy Monday! I thought I could at least make someone smile with that picture. Especially if you are having the Monday’s Blues.
I have been so busy with finals studying my little heart out. Thankfully, I am done tomorrow.
I’m mostly excited to be done so I have time to decorate for Christmas, bake holiday goodies, go shopping, sleep, workout when I want, etc. The good stuff.
Anyway, guess what I got yesterday?
Wait for it..
Sunwarrior protein powder! I’ve only heard great things about this powder and since the whey I usually get has only been upsetting my stomach, I thought it was worth a try.
Now on to that exciting news that I have mentioned before!
I’m not sure if anyone has notice, and it may not be a big deal, but if you look to the right hand side of the page…..
I am officially a Foodbuzz Featured Publisher!!!!!
I am so excited, thrilled, and honored to be a part of this community, I just HAD to share!! : D
But wait, there’s more.
I have secretly been doing something that I started November first.
If you notice, I ran a 5k, and I have been documenting my runs a bit more.
Any guesses?
I have officially signed up for my first half marathon!!!! I can’t even begin to explain my excitement!
I am moving back to Orlando for school in January, and I thought that this would be the perfect half for me to run.
I am following the Jeff Galloway training program, which has me running three days a week.
I felt like the experienced runner: finish in the upright position, was the best program for me out of all of them.
I truly like running three days a week because it allows me to cross train which I love to do. I don’t want to give up my weights!
I also crave my runs even more when I run every other day. I didn’t even know it was possible to want to run even more than I already do, but it is.
Two of my best friends, Sarah and Krystie, also signed up so they are going to run it with me!!! This made me MORE excited!
I am STOKED, to say the least. Thanks to my dad for paying for me!!
So, there you have it. All my exciting news rolled into one post.
Have an amazing Monday : D
Do you have Sunwarrior protein?
Favorite way to use protein powder?
Do you like Monday’s or hate them?
Is anyone else training for a half marathon?

Sunwarrior! I’m seeing it all over but I’ve never been a user of protein powders. Ever. XD People say it tastes good though, so lucky you! And I’m so excited for you! You’re going to rock that half marathon.

OMG this is going to be the BEST race ever!!! I want to run Disney so bad this year but I don’t know if I will make it all the way there! I even bought an outfit in case my schedule allows me to come! You HAVE TO dress up like a princess!! Ahhhh you’re going to have so much fun! Congrats onn signing up for your very first half!
I have tried Sunwariior but wasn’t a huge fan. I am VERY picky when it comes to protein powders. I rarely like any of the ones that I buy, but I use them for baking more than anything else so the flavour is usually “hidden”! My favourite way to use protein powder is in homemade protein bars! So convenient and perfect for on the go!
I hate Mondays buuuuut hopefully today isn’t too bad! Have an amazing day!

I did the Disney Princess Half Marathon the past 2 years in a row and it is a GREAT race! (The funny thing is that I even used the Jeff Galloway method for the first one too
)
It’s such a fantastic first-time race. They have characters, signs, and entertainment all throughout the course. You will love it!

Oh how fun!!! The Princess Half sounds incredible – it’ll be exciting to read your recap!!
Fav way to use protein powder is in a shake with frozen banana chunks OR in protein pancakes

I LOVE Sunwarrior!! I had it once and it was sooo good! But seeing as one pack costs more than my gym membership does for a month, I stick with the cheap chalky stuff!
And I am SO JEALOUS of you running the Disney Princess 1/2!! The Disney ones are definitely on my race bucket list! Are you going to dress up? Aaah I am so excited for you!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) recently posted..Journey to Health IV: Binge Eating
I know I almost cried at the cost, but all the vegan ones I find in the stores are almost as expensive! It’s a really big bag too.
Yup, I’m dressing up!!! I can’t wait. I’ll be sure to show you guys what I’m wearing

Haha I’m so jealous! I Swear EVERYONE has sunwarrior protein powder but I’ve never tried it! I was going to buy some but I ordered a huge jar of the About Time Birthday Cake Protein powder. Then they messed up and sent me the wrong one, and then they sent me the right one. the point is, I have a ridiculous amount of protein powder on my hands
haha

Awesome post Lady!!! Congratulations on your official Foodbuzz blogger status. Not that you need it to be more official that you totally rock
And your first half marathon!? How fun!!!! I did my first 15k about a month ago and am planning to run my first half marathon in Jan. or Feb. I’ll have to keep you updated! Sounds like your training is going great!
Since I’m running more I am in the market for a GPS/HR watch since my GPS running phone app is great and all, but I really want to have something I can look at while I run and see where I am, not just look at after I’m finished. I LOVE your garmin pics btw – do you recommend the 305? I’m trying to decide which model to go with and it seems to be the best features for the best price. I’d love your recommendation!
So happy for you again on all your awesome news! GO girl!

You are so awesome, Thank you!!!! <33
I DEFINITELY reccommend the 305! It wasn't too expensive like some of the other ones, but it is super easy to use and just awesome. It works like a charm and I honestly don't know what I did without it!!

Awww thanks girl!!
Thanks for the recommendation. I think I’m going to order it today! Am I the only one who is impatient once I order something offline and cannot wait for it to get to my doorstep!?!?
