Hola!
I hope you’re all having a good Thursday! Not much to report here after a long day of classes, so let’s just get right into this week’s Thursday Thoughts!
1. Remember how I said I’m on Team Pretty Muddy? Well I’ve finally registered for their race in Chicago this coming September!! I’m so excited to be participating and hope that any fellow Chicagoans join me and my fellow bloggers! And for those of you not in Chicago, they have race locations in seven different states!
2. So, a long time ago I went to a Grub With Us dinner with Chelsey at Karyn’s On Green, and there was a dish with these amazing mushrooms, but I never knew the name. I was trying to describe them to Kelsey this weekend and then the next day I found them in Whole Foods! I forgot to email this picture to her, so I thought, hey, let’s just share it with everyone!
3. Speaking of Chelsey, how cute is she? She’s only 14 weeks (well 14.5 now) along and already has the cutest pregnancy belly with her TWINS! Some of you might also follow my other no longer preggers blogger friend, Ashley – be sure to send her, Cody, and their beautiful boy Hunter some prayers that he gets better and they can take him home ASAP!!!
4. I wanted to say, one more time, how much I loved your comments on Monday’s post. Seriously, you all rock. My favorite comments? The ones from people who don’t normally comment. Thank you for being brave enough to open up! (Or to remind me of our awesome séance in college…).
5. One note on the Intuitive Eating Challenge, I think the hardest part of this for me is my food intolerances/IBS. Lesson #1 was eat whatever you want. The point is to take away the “food rules” and stop telling yourself that some foods are “bad” while others are “good.” Unfortunately, eating whatever I wanted resulted in some “stomach distress” this week. It was unpleasant to say the least. Hopefully I’ll figure out balancing eating what I want with eating what my system can handle.
6. Um, WHO AM I? Apparently I’m a huge pro soccer fan?? On Saturday I watched THE ENTIRE Sporting KC vs. Montreal Impact game on MLS Soccer Live Streaming (Sporting KC won 2-1 for Montreal’s non-win of the season!). Don’t get me wrong, I’ll watch sports, but if I’m at some kind of party or bar or a live game. I’ve NEVER sat still and watched it by myself. Guys, I think I found my sport. This is weird.
7. SO excited to see some of my friends tonight for TACO NIGHT. By the way, do you ever compare your group of friends to the characters on Sex and the City? Kelsey wrote a funny and interesting post about it yesterday, (and shared our “labels”…).
8. Molly wanted to say hi. She missed you all.
Are you a big fan of any particular sport?
What’s your favorite kind of mushroom?
Have you done an obstacle race? (Who is doing Pretty Muddy with me!?!)
