Two things that have made me a better person


1.  I am terrible at eating meals.  Period.  Especially breakfast and lunch.  The above flatbreads have changed that.  Well, the lunch part - I am still working on breakfast.  They are the best!  I especially enjoy the Rosemary & Olive Oil ones.  They are not "bready" like bread, they don't break and they are super soft.  I stuff them with spinach and then use whatever meat and veggies I have on hand.  I have used tiliapia, grilled chicken, turkey, ham, avocado, tomato, cucumber, cheese - of course, not all at once.  The best part is they go BOGO at Publix!  I bought a bunch when they were.  (The sad news - they are no longer BOGO and I ran out, so I'm stuck with no lunches until I make it to the store and bite the bullet to buy when they are not BOGO.)  You should SO try them - you won't be disappointed!


2.  I'm an avid exerciser.  No surprise, right?  I especially love running.  My favorite is to run with a group that's my same pace and style.  I always go by their Garmin to know our distance and pace.  But, when I am alone, I (previously) do not have one of these handy GPS systems.  So, how would I know how far I ran and how fast, you ask?  Here is the OCD side of being an avid exerciser....After my solo runs, I would jump on the internet to a site where you can map your runs (which I already mapped before I left on my run), double check to make sure I ran the route planned, check my stopwatch for my time and then calculate my pace based on my mileage and time.  Crazy, insane.  I know.  But, now I don't have to do that anymore!  David got me one for my birthday!  Lucky me!  It calculates heart rate, calories, distnace, pace, routes, you name it.  I flippin' LOVE my Garmin!

FYI

I have not died, just my computer.  So, I have no photos to share.  And, let's face it, who really wants to read a blog with no pictures? 

I hope to be up and running soon.  Of course it crashed the day David left for North Carolina.  I suppose its heart was crushed just as mine.  (And just to clarify, no, he didn't leave us, we eventually will move up there with him...someday when we figure out what to do with our house.)
