I had a strong urge to title this WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) post with “What I’ve Been Eating Lately” but I get super annoyed when I see bloggers title their post “Lately.” There is one in particular that I swear every time I see a post it is titled “Lately.” If I demand a…
Monday Moves 8-12-13 Half Marathon Training Plan!! Week One

I’m not gonna lie…I am quite amused at some of the answers for the Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups giveaway. Some people are just as sneaky as I am when dealing with delicious chocolate goodies.
