Today I had to sadly say goodbye to an old friend 
Look what happened this morning!
Uh Huh!!! THAT’S MY BLENDER!!! As I was grabbing it off the top to my fridge this morning to make my Green Monster, it slipped out of my hand and smashed on the floor. I stood there for like a straight minute just sobbing! I love that thing, and it was expensive. Since it is the Holiday Season and I made a goal not to spend money on myself, I will have to wait until I get one for Christmas (which Adam promised would be one of my gifts when I called him in tears this morning). So of course I was running super late today because glass clean up is a b*tch! Last thing I need is for Osc to get glass in his paw!
Ok, enough about my dramatic morning, let me back up to yesterday after lunch. Around 3:30pm I had my afternoon snack.
and a handful of trail mix:
I bought this trail mix a few months back from a co-worker’s son who was selling it for Boy Scouts, and let me tell you, these Boy Scouts know a thing or two about trail mix. I am addicted to this stuff!
After work I hoped on the train to meet my friend Ashley to Pump, Body Pump that is!!! OH Yeah!!! We got some exciting news too: Body Pump 72 will make it’s debut in 2 weeks!!!!! YAY! Although this current set is still challenging, I think my body is ready for a change. I may have gotten a little used to it. I am super excited/nervous to see how it is. Rumor has it the lunge track in 72 is a KILLER and we all know I just love lunges (sarcastic). After BP, Ash and I decided to get a coffee at the Starbucks downstairs and catch up. We hadn’t seen each other in two weeks or so.
I got a short, non-fat gingerbread latte.
Ashley was cracking up at the size difference in our coffees, mine was so little!!
We chatted for an hour and a half about boys, music, Holidays and working out. It was great to catch up with her 
I love girl time. After coffee I hopped on the trained and headed home. Dinner was quick because it was eaten at 10pm…SUPER LATE FOR ME!
Veggie burger and some Food Should Taste Good Chips.
I ate my veggie burger on a whole wheat sandwich thin topped with reduced fat feta, buffalo sauce and some lettuce.
I had sort of a rough night’s sleep last night. For starters, I got sucked into MTV’s Jersey Shore show, I am mildly embarrassed to admit it. That show is complete trash, but SO entertaining! So I watched that until 12am. Then, Adam was working until 3am, so when he got home, I woke up and hard a hard time falling back to sleep. So, needless to say the 6:30 alarm and I were not friends. But, I listen to and and got up and suited up for a run. I met Julia for a run this morning.
We ended up doing 5.27 miles in 43:21. Pretty good right?!
Splits:
Mile 1: 8:43
Mile 2: 8:51
Mile 3: 8:50
Mile 4: 8:58
Mile 5: 8:00
2.7 miles: 2:30
When I got home I attempted to make a Green Monster to refuel and we know how that turned out. So I cleaned up the glass and then went to my parent’s house (bathrobe, slippers and wet hair up in a towel, mind you) to cry to her and borrow her blender. She told me I could hold on to it until she needed it Aren’t mom’s the best?!
I drank it out of a beer glass, because I felt like I really needed a drink 
Oh Green Monster, I will never take you for granted again!!!
Monster Mix:
- 1 frozen banana
- ice
- spinach
- Fat Free Organic Milk
- Bee Pollen
- PB2
- Chocolate PB2
- Chocolate Green Superfood
- Protein Powder
And…there was some coffee to go!
Today’s outfit was thrown together quickly since 20 minutes of my morning was spent cleaning up glass:
Coral Cardigan (H&M), White T-Shirt (H&M), Leopard Scarf (H&M), Jeans (Express), Black Pointed-toe Boots (Nine West circa 2001).

Remember when you guys submitted all those questions for blogger interviews??? Well, today I am posting the first interview…YAY!!!! I figure I will post one every Friday, until we are out of bloggers. Sounds good right?
Today’s interview is with Tina! Tina is actually one of the very first bloggers that I started reading and is definitely someone to inspired me to write my own. I have also met her in person several times and she is a cool and down to earth in real life as she comes across on Carrots n’ Cake. So without further ado, here is my interview with Tina

I LOVE Tina’s blog! GREAT interview.
Okay I would be traumatized if my blender broke….the GM is my fuel! Love the interview!
I am freakin’ beside myself! It was a baaaddd morning in the FFF household for sure!
awww that’s so sad about your blender! Thank god for Mom’s!
I absolutely LOVE Tina’s blog. Thanks so much for the interview! She totally motivated me to start my own blog too. And I’ve found such a great blog community. It’s really great!
Yay, I’m glad that you started with the interviews. Great project, and Tina was the perfect blogger to start with.
RIP blender.
And I NEED to get back to Body Pump. I was sore for days after the one class I went to!
Im so sorry about your blender! (youll have to name your new one
)
Love your coral cardigan!
I was just thinking an even worse situation would have been your blender breaking with GM in it!! thats like my worst nightmare!!
HAHAHA! That would be a HUGE mess! Imagine cleaning that off of all the walls?
At least it happened right before Christmas. You won’t have too wait to long for a new one.
AH! That’s horrible! When I broke mine I think I put too much stuff in it at once and it started making a horrible noise and smoking and was hot to touch. Clearly I bought a cheap blender.
AH! That’s horrible! When I broke mine I think I put too much stuff in it at once and it started making a horrible noise and smoking and was hot to touch. I had to dump my half made gm. Clearly I bought a cheap blender.
Love the cardigan!
That picture just makes mine look huuuuge, when really yours is the smallest disposable coffee cup I have ever seen in my life!
i love the fashion part of the interview
fits so well with your blog theme.
“phoebe” just popped into my head as a potential iPhone name. i have no idea why!
I got my PUMP 72 in the mail but haven’t looked yet. Ill do a review and give you some insight on what to expect. Hehe. I know everyone at my club is ready to move on from 71. But we mix it up to old ones 2 weeks after we launch the new release to try and keep it from getting boring.
I liked your outfit!
[...] Wow, I look tired! Adam bought me a new blender. Remember now upset I was when mine broke? [...]
[...] A: I use a Cuisinart 7 Speed blender. It was a Christmas gift from Adam after the tragedy of my old on breaking. [...]
