What Happens When You Eat 8 Cups of Rice

Hello! How are you doing? Ready for Friday? Ready to read about running and eating? Let’s do it!

Well actually let’s talk about walking and eating (just not at the same time). Today is a rest day so I took a walk and planned to take a strength class as the gym.

This picture is from yesterday evening’s short walk while catching up on podcasts. I’m kind of busted though because I skipped out on SR’s pizza party/Bible study time. I’m the worst. But this was a magical sunset so I have that going for me…

I was also very excited to try out my new rice cooker. I have been thinking about this for the longest time and finally picked up this one at Costco the other day. I love that it has a delay timer so I can use it to soak grains if I am feeling all hippie like.

The next question is obviously… what happens when you eat 8 cups of rice?!

You are happy. The end.

I plan on training to be on Survivor by living off of rice and coconut water for a while. Wish me luck!!

Dear Survivor Producers,

I’m ready.

So after eating 8 cups of rice last night I was all carb-loaded and ready to GO! Except, today is a rest day so I took a walk and then headed to the gym.

Breakfast before workout… Iced Coffee and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. Have you guys had these?! I just wanted to change it up a little bit and was pleasantly surprised. They are so good! I guess I’ve been eating the Original version for too long. This opens up my world.

Everything was going well until I got to the gym only to find out the class was cancelled last minute. Boo.

Instead of grabbing some donuts and watching the Today Show as my workout I decided to do my 15 minute no counting session and some upper body. Make it work.

It’s actually for the best because in the middle of my home workout I got a knock at the door with a big delivery! I’m pretty excited to live off Sabra for the next few weeks. I’d share but it’s not really my thing.

Aaaaand I’m getting a hair cut today! I’m working with The Salon by InStyle inside JCPenney for a special Breast Cancer Awareness Month promotion. The event is called Cuts for Hope and is from October 15^th – October 18^th. For every haircut at a JCPenney Salon, $1 (up to $100,000) will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

That is super cool, right? I love it. But it is only from today until the 18th so if you’re due for a cut get in there quick!

Now I’m going to eat lunch and head over there. I was kind of thinking about letting my bands grow out and doing a middle part but my cowlick is STRONG and I kinda have a five head. Hmmmmm. I’ll ask the stylist’s opinion.

Question: When was the last time you tried something new with your look?

Do you think I’d Survive on Survivor?
