1. I had a coffee date with a woman I met through pet sitting last week, and she is such a gem. She gifts me with things each time I watch her cat and on our date she gave me a card with ten euros inside for my upcoming trip.
2. I get overly excited when I enter a bathroom other than mine and find the toilet seat up. To me this means the bathroom was freshly cleaned (usually at 6am when I arrive at work) and mine will be the first fanny of the day to grace the seat.
3. I have been trying to get back into a running groove lately, and had a few runs last week that really made my soul sing. I managed a 5 miler that I didn’t think I had in me. Proof that whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.
4. I’m writing this to kill time before my bimonthly massage. I’m anticipating the jello like state my body will be in post rub down. The woman I see is a magician. Update: this massage was so good I couldn’t think straight.
5. I have some kind of OCD when it comes to containers of food. Specifically nut butter jars. I need the sides clean of product as the jar is used. I do not like when there is butter all up the sides when the jar is half gone.
Possibly hard to tell, but the top of the PB must have an even line. Minor residual remnants at the top are OK, but clumps are no no no.
7. One of my runs last week was along the water. In the pouring rain. After a 15 hour work day. It was awesome. 
8. I watched La La Land for the second time, and it was just as depressing as it was the first time I watched it. The end makes me feel sooooeemmpptyyy.
9. I’ve been riding the veggie train haarrrddd lately because they make me feel good. I love when I share photos with my friends and their reply is, “looks good, but where’s the protein?” Then I proceed to school them.
Legit this plate of plants has over 35g of protein. Thanks for the concern though. 😉

My confession: I haven’t seen La La Land. Everyone raves about how wonderful it is, but I’m not a fan of romances (or most musicals) so I’ll probably wait years to watch it.
Also, I cannot wait to read about your adventures in Ireland! I’m so excited for you 🙂
Brittany
It’s good, I enjoy the movie don’t get me wrong..but the ending. I just can’t. Maybe it’ll be playing one day when you’re on a long flight and you’ll have the option to watch it for free.
SincerelyLily
OMGGGG I WISH you lived nearby and we could have had you house sit/pet sit Pilot the fluff ball while we were on vacation… the lady we hired as terrible and he got zero walks and was left inside a lot 😦 It was super sad BUT alas, he probably will forget about it in a month.
ANYWAYS, yay for doing a 5 miler. I have been struggling a lot on runs too but mainly because I have to pee like, every mile. It is quite annoying. I have come to appreciate talking long walks with little runs sprinkled in here and there.
That plate of greens looks like perfecto. I hate asparagus pee, sigh. I CAN’T BELIEVE YOUR TRIP IS SO SOON!!! Omg, have the best time and just do everything, don’t question it. Try all the food and take in the sights. Can’t wait to hear all about it
Love that your fanny is first in line at work, mine usually is too! Because we are such early birds hehe 🙂
I got a massage on vacation and it was the first in like three years. I think I need to follow your schedule with the bi-monthly. #worthit
Brittany
AHHH how sad about Pilot! How do you know he wasn’t let out, did she tell you that!? Ugh poor guy. You have the pregnant version of runners trots. Just gotta find a good bush! 😂 also, I highly recommend bimonthly massage. It’s good for your health!
Rachel Allene
I honestly just LOVE your pictures! They’re so bright and sparkly (maybe not literally but I interpret a sparkle.. I’ll shut up) and happy!
I can’t believe Ireland is so close- it’ll be so much fun to hear about your trip! I may not comment a lot, but I read every single one of your posts and honestly they bring so, so, so much joy. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Brittany
Oh my goodness. This comment made my morning. Thank you ❤😭
Rachel Allene
Awww ❤ ❤
Anthony
I am getting excited for your vacation (I am still on my traveler’s high).
As for the song on repeat……Yeah, I’d probably have to put you in headphones.
Glad to hear all the positives.
Brittany
Yasss, I am so excited! I hope my travelers high lasts a while.
Anthony
With your love of life, I am sure it will.
Brittany

# 9 – But where’s the protein (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!)
Brittany
Twin on twin on twin! Those biscuits though…..hahah. It was actually a different woman. I have two older ladies I swoon for. Bahah.

You had me at asparagus pee.
Brittany
So bad, but so good. 😂

I’ve been on an ice cream binge lately, and I have this weird obsession kind of like your nut butter jars. When I scoop ice cream out, I can’t have any ice cream on the sides, either. But also, the remaining ice cream must be leveled out. It must be even and neat. So, I keep on scooping and shaping it with the spoon until it’s all flat, neat and clean.
Brittany
Omg SAME! I do the same with ice cream hahaha. I think it may be the cylindrical container? Who knows, but I def eat more than I need at times just to even it out. 😂
Angie
Haha! Yup, me too!
Kajsa's and Cecilia's world.
The toilet…….I think a fanny before you has forgotten to put it down! I had a one vegetarian era where a girl asked me “Don`t you eat sausage”!
Brittany
No! It’s a women’s bathroom, it’s def because it was cleaned. Haha. That sausage comment…HA. When I first went vegetarian it was always “what about bacon?” I never liked bacon even before I stopped eating meat.

School them? 35 grams of protein, eh? What do you do for the other 90? That’s what I need on a typical day, about 127 grams of memory serves. Chuckle.
Brittany
Haha I don’t need nearly that much!
Amy
I’m totally OCD about nut butter jars too! And that may be getting worse because of the food photographer in me… I want everything to look pretty at all times! 🙈
Brittany
Yasss, so glad I’m not alone haha!
Ellie
Everyone is a protein expert right? 😉 ❤ Not every plate has to be balanced. Screw balance. When I eat a bowl of chocolate Little Secrets (vegan M&Ms) I don't want it to be balanced lol
Plus, UM TEMPEH IS AMAZING! I've been a hard kick this week. <33333333333333333
Brittany
Little secrets!? I must find those 😂
Thistles and Kiwis
I actually enjoyed being off sick last week…watching Gilmore Girls, cuddling up to the cat and totally relaxing. Felt good!
Brittany
That.sounds.AWESOME!
Josh dV
Get your run on friend! I’ve never heard that song before and it doesn’t tickle my fancy but what can you do? I’ve been sticking to the Hamilton Soundtrack and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust lately. Like you do.
My confession, sometimes when I’m walking I imagine I’m Spider-man swinging between buildings.
Brittany
OMG your confession is the best. I will probably do this now without choice.
Josh dV
I’m a child. And I’m OK with that. Sometimes it’s not Spider-Man but Iron-man.
Lia
My confession: I finally got some good news re:job today and I ended up laughing hysterically in the middle of a coffee shop. The toddlers one table over seemed both amused and perplexed.
Brittany
Wahoooo!!! Congrats! The toddlers were loving it. 😝🤗

Asparagus pee, uggh. On a side note, I have the same disease as you with baked goods in a pan. SIDES. MUST. BE. EVEN. – Kat

SAME! Omg why is it only fatty/sugary goodness I have this problem with! LOLOL

Oh my gawd, the silly protein question. It should to make me crazy, now I just don’t care.
Ave had asparagus pee this week. 🙂 🙂 :0
Brittany
Oh yeah, I don’t care either. It makes me laugh each time hahahaaa. Ohhhh go Ave! Get yo veggie on!
evolvewithmary
I love random gifts from people. 10 euros is pretty nice, you can defiantly use it. I’ve been trying to get back into my double workout grove, it’s hard than usual but so worth it. I need a massage really really really bad.
My confession:
I’ve been slacking on my weekly fitness challenges, next week I’m going to do the last 10 exercises I’ve posted every day. Whoop Whoop, can’t wait to kick my own booty.
Brittany
Love it! The blog is such a great motivator to keep on track!
The Marriage Maze
Love that song, have had it on repeat on Spotify myself for a while too! My confession:
I’ve hit a plateau generally which sucks! Need to remotivate myself 💪🏽
Brittany
Oh man. The plateau. I know it all too well.
Rach
Your dinner plate makes me want asparagus and brussel sprouts for dinner. So I think that’s exactly what we’ll have! 🙂
And I soooo dislike using public restrooms, but pregnancy has given me very little option, haha! So I’ve discovered that I, too, like walking in to a public restroom in the morning and finding that the seats are up because it means they were freshly cleaned!
Brittany
HA! I lost all care for public bathrooms once I started running. A runners port a potty is like no other.
Heather
What a sweet friend! Too funny about the seat being up… I, too get in at 6AM and love having a fresh seat to sit on. I love even more that there aren’t too many people in the building after my first cup of Joe and there for I can “drop the kids at the pool” in peace 🙂 ANYWAYS… my confession… I was “craving” a donut (I’ve been SO GOOD limiting sugar and didn’t want to deprive myself) so I just ate the top part. And since I hate throwing away/wasting food, I took the other half to Todd- we work at the same place. I know. I’m weird…
Brittany
Omg I love you. I don’t often have the luxury of the drop off in peace. So I just yolo it and if there are others around so be it. I’m impressed with your donut eating, I’d surely eat the whole thing if I had one bite. And then I’d want another. Haha.
Heather
Not gonna lie- I was impressed with my half self control haha
P
#2 is certainly a plus for being the first one in at work for the day, haha! And I think I have that same OCD trait as described in #5—no teaspoon of nut butter shall go to waste! And I want that veggie plate right now, even though I had a bowl of warm veggies for dinner myself 😛 !
Brittany
Haha! I’m finding a lot of us share this OCD trait!
Allie Zottola
Asparagus pee all day, every day!
I am so with you on the nut butter jars not being clumpy and gross! Jimmy is that way about his cream cheese containers. I’m afraid to go near them for fear of messing them up, haha.
Brittany
Ahhhaha that’s great. We all have our containers to obsess about.
dave379
#10 all the time too! Now I also want a massage. As far as PB particularity goes, what I’m not so high on is when there’s not enough room and the oil spills out down the sides. I’m on the search for the perfect peanut butter.
Brittany
I hate that! I used to get self ground PB only, which prevented that, but lately I’ve been buying jars and it does have some separation. There is an art to stirring without spilling!
dave379
Yeah I’m definitely working on that art!
Kitty Cunningham
Is that 2 pieces of tempeh on that plate? Looks like a GREAT meal to me.
I wonder what causes asparagus pee.. I mean, besides eating asparagus, obviously. I haven’t had it in years and I seriously work out on asparagus every Spring. I know that eating meat causes stinky poots. But, you aren’t eating meat so it shouldn’t be the thing in your diet doing it.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Brittany
Yes it’s tempeh! Sooo good. Stinky poots bahah.✌🏻👋🏻
theresilientrunner
Asparagus pee. HAHAHA I didn’t try asparagus until a few years ago, fell in love with it, then wondered what was wrong with me until my Hus told me the issue…
I am the same way with peanut butter. I CAN’T STAND my hubby eating the pb, because he is so messy. And he leaves pb on the spoon or knife too when he puts it in the sink – who DOES that?! Just NO!
Ok, on this trend of complaining about my Hus eating pb…question. When you make a pb&j, 1 knife or 2?
ONE KNIFE! Do the pb. Wipe the knife, both sides, on the other piece of bread, dip in jelly and spread. LICK BUTTER KNIFE CLEAN and place in sink. Bada-bing-bada-boom. What is so hard about that?!?!
Brittany
YES OMG to the knife! Always wipe it on the bread and lick if needed! Ahahah. Two knives, rookie mistake! 😂🙏🏻
