Why Do I Keep Doing This To Myself

Hello! I have a few confessions today. I obviously feel better spilling my guts on the internet over a priest, so one of you has to give me my penance in the comments. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Catholic confession it should be something like 2 Our Fathers, 6 Hail Marys and something else along those lines. Thanks.

On my run this morning I saw Toby. I was going to stop and tell him “Hello” but there were some walkers nearby and I didn’t want them to know we are friends. It’s not like I’m embarrassed of Toby, I just don’t know if he likes me like that yet so I didn’t want to make a scene.

Then, I saw him in front of a house and I was about to go give him a lil scratch when I realized he was kind of close to the front door and it was open. I think this is his house. So, now that I figured out where he lives I feel like a stalker. A cat stalker. Also known as a weirdo.

Anyway. I had a good run! I did a tempo run this morning on my favorite flat loop with 1 mile warm up, 5 tempo and a cool down walk.

Since I drove to my favorite spot I packed a lot of hydration. I drink a lot.

Yesterday I was in a rush in the morning so I made a quick green smoothie to take with me to an appointment. I’m back to loving strawberry protein powder this week. I think I’m just in a super strawberry mood with everything right now.

Post-run I hit up the Whole Foods hot bar. I joke that the Whole Foods salad bar is my favorite restaurant. I love being able to get a bite or two of different things. It’s like a buffet with super expensive organic food and instead of all-you-can-eat it’s really all-you-can-afford – but that keeps me from going too crazy with it.

Luckily Wednesdays is a sale day for the food bar and it’s $1.50 off the usual price. Boom. This is the only day I can justify going now.

One of my former co-workers pointed out that, “Whole Foods Salad Bar costs as much as a salad from the Cheesecake Factory, but you have to get it yourself and eat it from a cardboard box!”

That guy is speaking the truth.

But I still keep going back for more. Damn you WF! I love it!!

Confession # something – I once got food poisoning from the Whole Foods hot bar (it was major and horrible) and still went back to that location. Why am I the worst?

I always try to be mindful of what I’m getting so I don’t break the bank, but still end up with a pricey lunch. Well, at least I have that 600 pack of corn tortillas to fill me up when I’m out of grocery money?

im poor

With all my money going to organic kale salad sold by the pound I hope Vegas doesn’t expect me to pay him for guarding my Spark while I wrote this post…

Question: Whole Foods Salad Bar – love it? meh? hate it? spent your life savings on it?
