Pictures are truly worth a thousand words..... And here is several thousand words from the past few months! These pictures are all curiosity of my iPhone, because lets face it I never bring my camera anywhere! :)

***The biggest thing over the last few months is a have registered for and been training to run my very first half marathon with my friend Stefanie! The race (13.1 miles) is this Saturday! It has been a long 12 weeks of training! I am excited and nervous!!! (and yesterday I went to the doctor and I currently have strep throat! Praying for a fast recovery so I can run well Saturday!!!)

Super Bowl Day 2011

Yesterday, was crazy in Texas as the XLV Super Bowl was hosted in Arlington! During the afternoon, a group from our church went to hand out "I am Second" track around the stadium. It was interesting and our group passed out quite a few! This website has several famous people sharing their testimony and is pretty neat to see!
I did take one picture yesterday!

My sister Bethany and I at the Stadium!


Alas, the big game is over and the winner can brag, but in the end it is just a game.

Snow Days 2011

So, for the last 653 days we have been inside due to ice, freezing temperatures and then yesterday snow!!! Not really, it was only 4 days but felt like many, many more than that!!!! The snow was very pretty! We got about 4 to 5 inches which in Texas equals TONS!!!

Snow Ice Cream!!!! Definitely the best part! I had never made it before but it was delicious! :)
Today, Day #5 of the ARTIC Blast of 2011 finally the temperatures warmed up more than they expected and it was great! Snow is now a thing of the past here....well that is until next week when it is suppose to snow again! haha! Gotta love Texas!

Happy Superbowl Weekend!!!!

New Favorite Food Finds!

Hey!
So for fun today I thought I would share some of my newer favorite food finds! I continually seek to find healthy food options to give variety to what I eat and totally recommend all of these! I am following Weight Watchers NEW Points Plus Program and loving it! The change has been great!


Okay, this stuff is wonderful!!!! AND very addicting! It is great on a banana or in oatmeal!

(And no that is not my hand)

(Points + 3 for 1 TBSP and 5 for 2 TBSP)

Absolutely LOVE this stuff!!!
(Points + 2 per slice)

Ok, wasn't sure about Almond Milk but verdict: good stuff! I bought the sugar free and added sweet n low to it! It is a Points Plus bargain! only 1 for 8 ozs! Drink UP!


Oh my! This is probably my new favorite breakfast with some fruit!
(3 Pts + for 3 TBSP)




All the Whey! Protein powders can be iffy but I bought this brand in chocolate (of course!) and really like it in my fruit shakes! It has 16 grams of protein per scoop and 2 pt +.
Hope you find this helpful! I think the worst thing sometimes in being in a food rut!
Can you tell I love chocolate?
