Yes, yes I do.
Don’t get excited.
There’s no way I’m sharing “my boyfriend” (even though I share him with 467,260 people on Facebook).
I did do a little treadmill run with him on the TV and then turned him off early to write this post though. See how important you are? Don’t tell me who got kicked off the Biggest Loser tonight. I’ll have to catch up tomorrow. And by the way……this guy should really be missing me by now. I don’t know what’s up, but he keeps cancelling our next “date”.
First I have a little What I Ate Wednesday action.
Nothing too exciting, but its been a couple days since there’s been some green on here.
Ha ha! This morning’s mighty green microwave muffin had a new “frosting” on it made with fat free cream cheese, a sugar free packet of hot cocoa powder, a little coconut flour and some almond milk. It was accompanied by my new green tea/espresso latte (made with 1/2 soy milk and half unsweetened almond milk).
Lunch was a Flatout wrap with light havarti cheese, chicken breast, jalapeño yogurt dip, Scotty B’s Arch Nemesis hot sauce and some romaine.
I was a snack monster this afternoon and ate my way through a KIND dark chocolate cherry cashew bar, an apple, and another Flatout I made into cinnamon crisps and topped with SunButter. None of them pictured because Joaquin was motor boating my inner thighs with his snotty nose at the time. Nice visual huh? It looked a lot like this.
I bet you can’t guess what dinner was.
Ha ha ha! I got really lazy tonight and didn’t even cook my broccoli slaw spaghetti on the stove like usual.
I microwaved it in the bag for a couple minutes and then put it in a dish, topped it with some marinara, fresh mushrooms and spices and threw it in the oven at 400 for about 15 minutes or so. That little cheese sandwich was the bomb though.
I realized this morning that we didn’t have any more “seasonal” smelling hand soap. That was NOT okay with me. I can’t handle it when the smells around the house don’t go with the season.
So the boys and I had to make an emergency trip after Strollerwise today.
Judah helped me carry…
er….. drag the bag inside
while Joaquin attempted to break my new pumpkin spice wallflower.
He did NOT succeed. Thank goodness.
I’d say we stocked up pretty well for the next few months, wouldn’t you?
Now I have to get out all my winter smelling lotions.
Okay, so now onto what I have for YOU!
I’m so excited to tell you that the wonderful people over at Flatout have not only sponsored us in our race for Amelia, but they’re giving me coupons to send out to everyone who donates for our race.
How cool is that?
And that’s not all.
Our SunButter friends are also giving me coupons to send out to everyone who donates.
And…. they’re also giving me 10 coupons for a free jar to raffle off.
Isn’t that fabulous?
In addition to the coupons I also had a special “flat” friend make a little something that will be in the “thank you” as well.
And…. I’m randomly choosing 3 winners to get a homemade batch of Peanut Butter Doughtzel Balls.
So many things for you all!
Yippee!
It’s not too late to get in on the fun and donate to a good cause!
Any little bit you could donate to Amelia’s Hope For Hearing would be greatly appreciated!
You can get all the details on my Running For Amelia Page or you can email me with any questions.
Feel free to share and/or tweet this too! We only have a few days until the race!!!! Ahhh!!!!
See you tomorrow with a berry kale smoothie recipe and a little workout action!
You are NEVER going to run out of hand soap! LOL! I had to ban myself from Bath & Body Works once – I bought a bottle every time I went it and ended up with a ridiculous collections of soaps.
Laura- we go through that stuff so quick. I should buy the cheap stuff from Costco, but I love the different smells.
Oh man!! I hope that you get TONS of donations, Kristin!! Those are some awesome sponsors! Excited for you – can’t wait to hear how it all goes!
Lindsay- I’m still so grateful for YOUR generous donation. Love your giveaway!!! I am all over that!!!!!
Congrats on the sponsor, super exciting! I tried the broccoli slaw and love it. I add mushrooms and bell peppers and sometimes a protein. I just noticed in this post that you put it in the oven, I will have to try that.
Marie- It’s not as good in the oven. It saved time, but it’s much better when prepared on the stove.
The boys call it “mommy’s noodles”. 
The green muffins look really interesting. I’ll have to try them!
Yes Fran- please do. We eat them all the time over here. I bet “green” cookies don’t count either.
Congrats on all the sponsors! I’m looking forward to your post race recap post. Love the stockpile of soap and the boys are so cute in their matching Chargers outfits.
Need some soap at your place?
The sponsors are fabulous and it all goes to Amelia!!! She is the awesome one!
Kristin, more good looking food. I am trying that broccoli slaw today. I’ll let you know, but I have a feeling I know it’s going to be great. Shauna
Shauna- the broccoli slaw is addicting. I love experimenting with it all kinds of ways.
Beware. ha ha!
Fantastic news about the sponsors!
I love Bath and Body Works! I have so much soap it’s unbelievable but I agree you need to change it up with the season – something about coconut lime just doesn’t work for the winter. Same goes for my Scentsy scents!
Lincoln loves to help me carry/drag bags in and out of the house. I don’t know how much of a help it actually is but who I am to deny his help
Yes yes yes! Conconut lime is only good in the summer. So glad someone else feels the same way. I have to change out everything – wallflowers, lotions, candles, soaps. etc. ha ha ha!
Yummy eats! I am loving your breakfast
Haha, you can never have to much soap!
I know, right? That was my excuse. Everyone NEEDS soap.
Wow Kristin….you are amazing!! We can’t thank you enough for all of the work you have done to help raise money for Amelia (and you haven’t even run the marathon yet!). Great sponsors! We can’t wait to see you at the finish line on Sunday
(amelia’s proud mama)
Kristina- I’m so looking forward to Sunday. These sponsors are so amazing and want to help Amelia any way they can!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!! I’ll email you with details.
Those muffins look interesting!!!
Interesting AND delicious, right?
Yes! I like most everything. But I still found them to be curious looking.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who stocks up on B&B soaps! We have a cabinet full of em!
Paige- I know. I think I have a problem. I buy them whne they’re on sale, but they always seem to be on sale don’t they?
I had to stop going into B&BW because I was addicted to buying stuff I didn’t need. I totally get where you’re coming from!
Ameena- I only let myself go when I’m absolutely out of something. I used to buy sooooo much there. My lotions are like 3 years old. ha ha! I guess I don’t really NEED fun smelling hand soaps though. Oops.
Bath and bodyworks is the downfall to my wallet and cash flow. I am obsessed with their candles and the air plugs. The holiday smells are so amazing too. I’m waiting for black friday/for it all to go on sale, so I can grab as much as I can before they run out haha. I really want to eat a bowl of that frosting. I’m going to have to make some just so I can do that.
Lindsay- good idea to go during a big sale. I was just thinking I should stock up right AFTER the holidays for the next year and safe soem money. Next time.
You are BRAVE if you go out on Black Friday!
