WIAW: While Traveling

By Posted in Food Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 35 Comments

WIAW: On my travels last weekend

Since I have been rambling about my traveling so why not to do a WIAW about my travels.  First and foremost, you as blog readers should know I have become obsessed (probably obnoxiously) with instagram.  So much so that I instagrammed half of my eats during the trip because I’m sitting in a car for 8 hours and it’s boring so why not.  (that and maybe my photography would look comparable to a normal blogger’s)   

Like I said…it all started with this Wendy’s Salad. It was quite good

I like quest bars and protein pudding, so I packed a lot for the drive

I had a lox (salmon) omelette at one point. The omelette wasn’t actually all that great.

Peanut butter toast+fruit at the hotel breakfast

And then a waffle and fruit before my race (2 mile swim)

Second, I eat a lot of seafood when I eat out.  I eat things that I can’t cook or prepare myself because it makes it even better.  Third, I don’t throw a hissy fit about eating at fast food.  Case and point, we ate on the road-they wanted Wendy’s…I got a salad…and that was the end of that.

And more unfood related instagrammed shots.  My little username is fueledbylolz (because you can never get enough of me).  Isn’t that easy?

Question for you:

1.       What do you eat on travels?

2.       Do you like/use instagram?

I did not at first, but now I’m obsessed.  I’m eating my own words on that one and I take full responsibility for that.

June Foodie Pen Pals

By Posted in Food Tagged , , , , 15 Comments

The lovely Lisa was my Foodie pen pal this month and I could have not been more excited.  She is also working on an aspect of nutrition that I find fascinating and sent me lots of goodies (Plus information about the program she is currently going through!)

The first thing I tried immediately was the RAW bar.  A lot of people may not be interested in this bar because it has very low protein and fiber but 20+ grams of fat and 240 calories.  It was seriously made for me.  So good.

The two larabars were next and I had them preworkouts.  Both were good as I love both the flavors-who doesn’t love peanut butter?

My mom and I are both ladies on the run and we are always eating on the go (trail mix being one of our favorites).  My mom absolutely loved this blend and she had a ton!  I thought it was pretty good myself too.

Finally, the sweet potato chips were a perfect snack for me too (while working at the Cav).  So funny (and I quote), “lifeguard why you be eating the orange chip”?

If you like sweet potatoes and like crunchy chips then those are def for you.  That being said another yummy  foodie pen pals month down and done and another great blogger met.  I hope ya’ll will have the chance to check out Lisa blog!

Questions for you:

1.       What are your credentials in picking out bars?

I like mine with lots of protein, fiber and calcium (normally) and not 4000 calories of protein…instaew.

2.       Have you (Did you) done Foodie Pen Pals? 

Human Discoballing

By Posted in WEGO Tagged , , , , , , 12 Comments

Today’s WEGO was based on pinning some things (health related) from pinterest.  I’m not saying that this is true for every health related topic on there-but the majority of fitness and health pins are something along the lines of:

“Strong is the new skinny”

Or some bs like that.  I’m sorry but every single one of those girls (while they may be strong) is still extremely skinny.  What kind of health message is that saying?

Not really one I care to pin and since my health focus is more fitness related-I’m sitting this WEGO out and opting for one of the bonus and sub prompts they sent me as well.

————-

WEGO: Bonus round, Define a happy place.

I’ll preface this with I’m 100% joking (and I’ve drank a total of 2 times this semester…).  I do, however, never regret going out.

But my happy place (Saturday night) was at the bars.  It all started around 10pm, when I was having a rather rough night.  I was stressed with school, had plans broken to hang out with people and everything just kind of piled up.  I was laying on my sofa, having a girlie cry fest and my housemate was like…let’s go to the bars!

Okay fine (and got ready in about 5 minutes).  I became a human discoball and proceeded to tell everyone that.  I got this dress at Express forever ago, but never had an occasion to wear it.

Then I ended up having a few drinks (and for me, since I don’t drink…that is a lot).

My housemate and I. :)

So my happy place from 11pm-2am on Saturday-Sunday was at the bars dancing.  I don’t regret it.  I did manage to take a few photos (which for me is like epic proportions).

I mention Justin time to time. He ran the 50k in my area in December....and not that is not my hand.

A friend of mine Kirstin. (Please note the photobomber in the background. ;) )

The photobomber himself (someone I run with often) Tim! Nice enough to take a real life photo with me...good ole iphone quality of course!

Questions for you: 

1.       Do you like to stay in or go out?

I’m normally a stay at it sort of gal, but it’s nice to go out sometimes.  :)

2.        Where is your happy place?

Mine is normally just relaxing and hanging out in a warm environment.  lolz
