R&R &R &R....

Yes, that is my life these days. Since leaving my PhD program, I've been working on my M.S. thesis, applying to nursing jobs, volunteering, cooking (!), and reeeeelaxing.

Yep, I'm in Myrtle Beach.








Manfriend






Kels (sister), Madre, and me


In addition to the beautiful weather, and WARM ocean water (seriously I can't get over how warm it is), the eats haven't been to shabby.

There's been the Lauren-ish ones..

Whole Foods' Salad MONSTERRR (everything and yo mother in there):


Toasted Bagel Thin w/ organic turkey, laughing cow cheese, pepper:


French toast (whole grain toast, eggs, cinnamon, maca, mesquite, stevia, organic maple syrup):


Toasted bagel thin, scrambled egg whites, laughing cow cheese, s/p:


And the not-so-typical but incredibly delicious VACATION FOOOOD...


Tart FroYo with strawberries and bananas:


Grilled scallops:


Pineapple Mixer(s): Vodka (or rum), soda water, pineapple:


Steamed clams:


Tuna Tar Tar:



Considering all of the R&R and amazing food, I've been trying to get some exercise. I planned on an early morning run today but after snoozing until 10am, I decided to TurboJam it up to avoid fainting in the heat:



Tomorrow I'm gonna try my bestest to wake early and get out for an early morning run...


(Here are pics from my last Myrtle Beach beach run in January)

Whelp, time to get some FroYo and throw in a movie. Ahhh, life is good :)
XX,
Lauren

PS...Check out this AMAZING PICTURE I took on my Blackberry tonight during dinner..

  3. WOW- those scallops look amaaazzzzing. (my favorite seafood :) )

    I'm a new reader & would LOVE to know what you think of TurboFire- I've been debating between that, P90x, & one other (can't think of the name)

    Hope you continue to enjoy your time there!!

  4. Looks like a great time! The food looks so good -- especially those scallops!

    I love reading about other bloggers using TurboFire -- I love doing it every day! I have a hard time running or using the elliptical, I mean, why do that when I could be having FUN exercising?

  12. I'm so jealous of you right now! In my hometown of Anchorage, AK it has been RAINING for the past several weeks. Just looking at photos of beach happiness improve my mood a little bit, though...
