I lied!
No, not about the cookie dough. That was indeed cookie dough. I lied about going running.
It was unrunnable outside today. The temperature was perfect and the sun was shining, but the wind was out of control! The trees looked like they were going to snap in half. I really wasn’t in the mood to run and I had a inkling the scoops of cookie dough were going to feel like sharp rocks in my stomach.
Instead, I went out for a looooong walk. I walked to Wegman’s and back. Not to grocery shop or anything, just to have a destination. I ended up walking 5.3 miles in total.
The best part about walking is you can take photos along the way.
You also appreciate the hills and the wind. See those hilly hills I’m always talking about?
See the sea turtle cloud?
A beautiful creek right by my house.
!!!!!!!!
I found these VA and NC glasses that I am planning on getting. I love them and I have a Groupon!
Go Duke!
The second best part about walking is you can drink kombucha! My throat hurt a little and I needed something bubbly to numb it.
For dinner, I had a monster Mixing Bowl Salad.
Red leaf and romaine lettuce with grilled shrimp, dried tofu cubes and champagne vinaigrette.
Whole wheat tortilla for some carbs
Side of my daily orange.
Cookie dough for dessert! Recipe will be up tomorrow morning.
Have a great night.
Happy Cinco De Mayo!

LOVE the Kombucha
ive been really into shrimp recerntly. its slightly bizarre, but im going with it. haha
I love those cups! I have that site bookmarked in case I need a good gift!
Sometimes, those long walks are so much better than a run. It was quite windy today! I can still hear the wind now.
Love those glasses! Where’d you find them?? I see my hometown on the VA one
The Dandelion Patch!
You are such a tease with that cookie dough!!!
I know…sorry! I gotta upload the photos and write it up!
The pictures of your walk are so pretty.. I especially like the cloud one!
You definitely got me started on having a daily orange. I think it’s helping my energy!
i’ve never had kombucha! everyone seems to be drinking it! i need to try!
I wish I liked shrimp (it’s a texture thing) because whenever I see it, I think it looks good and refreshing!
I used to HATE the texture of shrimp…but obviously that is no longer the case
love the scenic pics!
do you carry your camera when you walk or do you have a bag that you carry?
that salad looks yummy! do you have any tips on buying/preparing shrimp? i’m always squeemish about prepping/cooking seafood.
I usually put it in my purse and pull it out to take photos. I sometimes use the DIY bag I made and sometimes I just wrap it in a t-shirt and put it in a regular purse.
We’ve been buying EZ peel shrimp lately (which is really easy to peel) and pan frying it in a little bit of oil. Sometimes, we get head-on shrimp, which just takes a little extra time to clean up.
Haha, your walk to Wegman’s sounds like my walks to Target. I just go to have somewhere to end up.
Haha can we just get that cookie dough already?? Beginning and ending the day with cookies is something I’ve gotta try!
Looks like a beautiful place to walk, though! Mmmm, cookie dough.
I love going on long walks! I need to find someplace new… going running so much has made me familiar with everything within 20 miles of my house
What great pics- nice scenery really amplifies the pleasure portion of walking
I love going on walks on days when I don’t feel up to a more intense workout! It looks like it was a perfect day out for you! I went for a walk yesterday too because it was the first day in a while that we actually had sun and not rain.
I walk to the grocery store all the time to pickup little things its so great to get out and just enjoy the walk plus when I have a destination I dont feel so nerdy walking alone!
I want those cookie dough bowls RIGHT NOW!
You have a beautiful area to run/walk in! Love.
It’s not even funny how badly I want that shrimp salad, omg. I keep forgetting you went to Duke. Me too! (I’ve probably told you that a dozen times now, I have no memory). Go Duke!
