Odds & Ends, Take 3

Aka, all the nearly-forgotten pictures on my phone in one post!

I took a walk with my mama and her puppies last week.  I loved Bunny’s little strut but her shadow was equally amusing.

Now that it’s unofficially summer, I’ve been eating this like crazy.

We had the coolest clouds last week.  Can you spot the tiny moon?

We made these Cooking Light Open-Faced Salmon and Avocado BLTs last Friday and they were a TOTAL MESS.  Delicious, but a total mess.

I found this picture of my sister at my parents’ last week.  It’s now hanging in my office.  That face.  I just can’t.

I’ve been running in the morning — when it’s still nice and cool — and it is seriously the best feeling ever.

Every year I set out to take a picture at every Rockies game I go to and inevitably forget one day, then give up.  This year’s attempt is yielding some weird ones…

I went on a run last Saturday and had this plan to follow it up with a green smoothie for breakfast and then I got home and Joey told me he was going out to pick us up iced coffee and pastries.  He’s a bad influence 😛

I switched my nails up from red to hot pink.  It feels fun!

Summer berries, nuff said.

Happy Friday! 🙂

 

 

That Time I Decided To Do A Juice Cleanse

Lauren2 Comments

Sooo… I’m doing a juice cleanse.

And for some reason, I’m feeling really guilty by typing that sentence.  I guess it’s because any time I’ve read about someone else doing a juice cleanse I’ve thought it sounded so stupid.  And I feel kind of hypocritical now.  And also because I don’t want anyone thinking I’m doing it as a pre-wedding crash diet of some sort.  I know it’s common for people to want to get in better shape before their wedding, but I have always felt very strongly that I just want to look like my regular old self on my wedding day so my lifestyle has (and will continue to) remain the same as it always has been.  (Except for when I’m only consuming juice for three days…)

That being said, I recently read about someone’s 3-day cleanse experience and was intrigued.  Above all else, I was curious!  And I spent almost an entire day trying to justify my feelings and convince myself I was doing it for “the right reasons.”  Then I realized, “it’s just a 3-day cleanse!” not a vow of silence, or a leg amputation.  That is, it’s not some serious and permanent life change that requires much reflection and agonizingly thorough decision making.  And I’ve already given myself permission to quit if I get to a point where I no longer feel like it’s a healthy experience for me.

Wish me luck!
