hey!
dude, this time change must be kicking my butt. i am usually the person that rolls my eyes when i hear someone say that–i typically think the time change does nothing to how tired or awake i am.. wrong. it is 7:52 PM and i am more than ready for bed. totally beat.
although some of my lethargy could be due to the fact that it is monday and i have to be to work at 7 AM on monday. or perhaps it’s because i did what is probably the hardest GPP workout i have done to date. well, for me.. IT WAS FLIPPING ROUGH.
suck. i almost simultaneously puked and passed out. but i didn’t.. and managed to get this done in 24:37. i also did my fastest half mile (800m) to date: 2:59! weeee.
anyway, i am tired, which means this is gonna be a short and sweet post. mmmkay?
so, i meant to post about november’s national food holidays at the beginning of the month, but somehow it all of a sudden was the fifth. sneaky november!

National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month?! That means I get to celebrate this joyous food holiday every single day, right? ;) I suppose I pretty much do anyways since peanut butter is an every day thing for me. I’m also loving the Deviled Egg Day, Guacamole Day, French Toast Day, and Sundae Day!
RIGHT!
Now I MUST make Nacho’s tomorrow! Thanks for the excuse. :)
I’m definitely excited about the National Peanut Butter Lover’s month – I definitely fit into that category.
And I’m so disappointed I missed donut appreciation day. Because yes, I do appreciate donuts. :-p
Oh man, I love this idea! I need some of those popchip nachos!
I hear espresso day calling my name! I should surprise my husband with french toast morning. He’d love that! :)
haha some of these are so specific… cook something bold and pungent day? pizza with everything except anchovies day? haha what the hell? I would love to know who comes up with these! lol
know, right?!
Oh man reading this post made me hungry again!! I’m gonna try a few of these, you know rotate in with my 1 or 2 stand-by dishes :)
It was great to see you – you continue to be my hero and I love you!!!
xoxo
I’d give anything to like food again. :(
haha awwww
Well November looks like a great month. Love that it was National Fig week and I decided to have figs for the first time in years yesterday.
mmm, i could definitely get on board with celebrating national nachos day today!
You’ve never tried a sardine? That’s not right. On Sardine day, bust open a can. They’ve got some that are canned in a hot sauce…YUM!!! I’m boring with them though and just like to eat them straight outta’ the can.
ok i will try!
Janetha! DON’T DO IT. MICHELL M is trying to make you throw up so hard you’ll almost die!
Diabolical Michell M. Diabolical!
lol ok maybe i will not try!
I’ve eaten thousands of sardines and never threw up after one. Just do it! Don’t be a scaredy cat!
Who determines this stuff??! Seriously. Some of these are pure crazy town haha. But…I’m on board with nachos and anything peanut butter
hahaha i know, i love it.. bold and pungent day?! what..
oooh i’ll have to try this workout! i love sardines! you need to try them, my absolute favorite are the Trader Joes smoked sardines in EVOO…they come in a green/gold and black type box with the tin inside. i have them vera cruz style or with mustard and tarragon. they are skinless and boneless so you don’t have to worry about crunching on any scales/bones! i consider them to be one of the most nutritious foods on the planet!
I will have to try them when our TJs opens!
so i did that workout at home yesterday and thought i was going to die. in a good way. and Wes laughed at me panting the whole time!
I seriously flopped over on the mat for a good 10 min afterward. WHEW.
Dang girl! An under three minute half mile???? I’m so impressed!!
Thanks!
gahh joy the baker’s recipe looks so perfect for thanksgiving – and werrrrrrd that is some seriosu shiznat workout! i just googled double under hahaha
DUs are HARD! I did 300 singles instead, because I can only do so many DUs in a row!
Oooh Nachos day sounds fun! That’s tomorrow-eh? Hello EASY dinner. I like easyyyyy dinners :)
I love your fascination with this stuff, b/c I think it’s fun too!
P.s. that workout looks TOUGH. Can’t wait to try it while on vacay :)
love hearing what food holidays are what! so fun
that skillet cake looks great!
holy schmoly that workout! saving it for when I need my butt kicked!
Kick your butt it will! But you are superfit, so you will LOVE it! xoxo
So Happy Nacho’s Day! That is so random. I guess not as ramdom and Bittersweet chocolate and almonds day. Happy that a day early too. Instead of Gingerbread on Nov 21st, I will be making Joy the Baker’s sweet potato pie (which I make every year for Thanksgiving).
I attended 5:15 AM bootcamp and got my butt handed to me this morning. Love your workout but I can barely walk already so I will have to try it next week.
vichyssoise is cold potato soup :)
Oh, I like the sound of that! Thanks!
Ummm you are my hero for completing that workout!! Awesome time, too, girl!
Raisin bread month- YES! Had some with peanut butter today- two birds with one stone, right?
I will not be celebrating fast food day. I can’t even remember the last time I had fast food… 2006 maybe? I was probably hung over.
hmm spoke too soon about the vomit…
??? (p.s. need to email u!)
This comment refers to my comment from yesterday’s post about cross-fit and vomit.
These food holidays are so odd. Who gets to make these up? I wish that was my job…how cool would that be. That workout looks insane, saving that!
I know, THAT would be a rad job!
what??? it’s national peanut butter lover’s month? So it’s MY month? oh good god I need to stock up! also, today is the 6th. you say it is national nacho day? coincident that the “ethnic food” section in the dining halls was nachos???? i think not! great post!
Um … HOW can the 22nd NOT be turkey day?
LOVE this! My hubby makes fun of me all the time when I’m like “it’s national PB day, yay!” I’ll have to share your list with him and definitely celebrate… Starting tomorrow, with a cappuccino, and some PB ;)
So fun! November is also National Adoption Awareness month! Looks like November had its hands full :)
