Is This Awesome or Weird?

Hello! How’s it going? Over here it’s going well. I was pretty productive with blog stuff AND I went to a strength class at the gym. I’m still sore from the marathon this weekend (mostly because it was downhill because this NEVER happens). So, I could have totally made an excuse not to go. It’s a class that’s normally pretty heavy on lunges and squats. I’m sore. And tired. And I have a pimple (or three).

But I decided I wanted to get back on track with my workout routine and that meant I had to hit up the class. I knew I wouldn’t be able to give 100% in terms of form for lunges and stuff. But I showed up and gave what I had today. Today that meant modifications and shallow squats and that’s okay.

After the gym I hit up the local health foods store to get some thyroid supplements. I’ve been super tired lately and think I need to get back on some holistic options to give it a lil wake up.

Since I was coming from the gym I was hungry / always buy something to eat on the way home because I live 3 minutes away and can’t wait that long to eat. So I got some kiwis and ate ‘em apple style.

In a stroke of tea loving luck I saw that the Celestial Seasonings Holiday teas are on sale!! I LOVE them. La-la-love. I’ve been obsessed with their tea, especially the holiday ones for years and try to stock up when it’s on sale or in season. (Last year I was invited to visit their headquarters and drank myself into a happy tea coma.)

Check out my tea shelf (there’s also some Spark and O2 Gold but 98% tea).

Okay, now let’s talk about reason number 218 why Monican is a complete weirdo….

I love chocolate. I love dark chocolate. I love chocolate covered nuts. But usually I don’t love most super fancy chocolates that come in a box or chocolate covered caramel or mints or the like. So I am an expert at eating the chocolate off chocolate covered candy…

See?

I can do this with See’s Candy, chocolate covered blue berries, almonds… anything. Is that good or weird?

 

To change the subject away from my weird chocolate obsession…
