Hi gang!\u00a0 Yesterday we were on the move all day long!\u00a0 So by the time we stopped, all I wanted was to snug with my boys and chill.\u00a0 I know you understand. :D<\/p>\n

Saturday evening, there was tea and cookies involved.<\/p>\n

\"tea<\/p>\n

Then I busted it up to bed so I would have plenty of sleep by Sunday morning!<\/p>\n

I got up bright and early to kick out my long run which at this moment is five miles.\u00a0 I was surprised by how many people I saw out!\u00a0 Normally Sundays are really quiet and no one is out.\u00a0 One of the things I say to myself as I’m getting ready on mornings for my run is:<\/p>\n

Runners start their day while everyone else sleeps and they finish up their run as everyone else is waking up.<\/em><\/p>\n

The verbage and wordage changes but that’s the basic jist of it.\u00a0 I also feel even more in the minority because most runners do their long runs on Saturdays.\u00a0 I think us Long Sundayers are very few. :D<\/p>\n

I was really proud of myself and my run!\u00a0 I was a minute slower than my last five miles but it’s nothing I’m going to stress over.\u00a0 Then I had just a touch of glorious CS<\/abbr>!<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Rocks and I headed out for a nice walk but close to the end of our walk it got colder and overcast.\u00a0 I was wondering if it was going to rain!\u00a0 I didn’t recall anything in the forecast about rain but then to be perfectly honest, I hadn’t checked the forecast for weeks so what do I know.<\/p>\n

Nothing! ;)<\/p>\n

After taking what Scott refers to as my “molten lava” shower, I quickly changed and came down to eat!\u00a0 I’ve noticed lately that after my longer runs I’m starting to be more hungry and it’s taking more to satisfy my bod.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I started off with some coffee and a bowl of Stoneyfield yogurt (full fat cream on top all the way!) with some homemade granola.\u00a0 Delicious!\u00a0 As much as I love my Fage, I really do like the Stoneyfield line of yogurts.\u00a0 They are creamy, thick, and rich.\u00a0 I buy the plain and it has just a touch of sweetness to it that is a nice change from the thick Fage every so often.\u00a0 The reason I have it is because I’m out of Fage again. Boo!\u00a0 And I can get Stoneyfield at my local store.\u00a0 However, now that I’m reacquainted with it, I might buy it more often and rotate between Fage and this.\u00a0 Bonus is that Rocky can have some too!<\/p>\n

Probiotics and bacteria, not just for your bellah but for the whole family!<\/p>\n

And then I was still hungry so in my cookie hole went a PB<\/abbr> cookie!<\/p>\n

\"PB<\/p>\n

Wow that sounds a lot more insanely dirty than I anticipated.\u00a0 And we all know how much I prefer the clean<\/span> inappropriate suggestions.<\/p>\n

I checked out some bloggies and watched FoodTV while sitting on the couch with my mushface block head.\u00a0 Then I decided that I was still hungry and need to be doing something other than sitting at the laptop and focusing on my hunger.<\/p>\n

I started making Sunday breakfast!\u00a0 Figured it would be done by the time Scott rolled outta bed.\u00a0 Well the smell of breakfast woke him, so I didn’t have to wait too long!<\/p>\n

\"waffles<\/a><\/p>\n

Pumpkin waffles!\u00a0 Which were so yum it was silly.<\/p>\n

\"blackberries<\/a><\/p>\n

Partially thawed blackberries in the middle.<\/p>\n

\"Waffles,<\/p>\n

And another cup of coffee!\u00a0 Delicious!\u00a0 You’ll notice I had some sausage on the side.\u00a0 This was my first time having pork sausage in a very long time.\u00a0 It was all I had and I was craving some meat protein in my system.<\/p>\n

Shush it!<\/p>\n

It was just okay.\u00a0 Not as flavorful as I remember and wow was it heavy. :O\u00a0 Oh my!\u00a0 I much prefer the chicken breakfast sausage we’ve been having lately.\u00a0 No close up because it looked like a gross brown lump.\u00a0 How to make sausage pics appetizing?\u00a0 Suggestions?<\/p>\n

And don’t say whipped cream!\u00a0 JEEZE you all!<\/p>\n

After breakfast and cleanup, it was time to move on to the house!\u00a0 I started laundry and for the last time (I hope!) went through my closet double checking what fit and what did not any more.\u00a0 I pulled out a ton of stuff all for my mom to try on this week.\u00a0 She’ll get a whole new wardrobe! :p<\/p>\n

I also made Scott do it.\u00a0 He hates going through and trying on clothes which cracks me up which makes him sigh and then I crack up even more.\u00a0 We’re just a riot act over here.\u00a0 Anyway, my man has toned up and lost some weight due to our insanely awesome diet and I knew some stuff wouldn’t fit him anymore.\u00a0 He thought I was crazy but we ended up with a nice pile of clothes for the giveaway pile.<\/p>\n

He has a suit that is too big and I suggested it be altered and taken in a bit.\u00a0 He said he would rather buy a new suit.\u00a0 If taking in a suit is going to cost possibly 100s, might as well just get a new suit.<\/p>\n

I don’t think it would cost that much, what do you all think?\u00a0 Know anyone who had a suit taken in?\u00a0 Was it pricey?<\/p>\n

\"Smoothie<\/a><\/p>\n

After all the clothes were checked out, I made us some smoothies.<\/p>\n
