food, cats, and running

so basically, when i looked at the pictures i've taken in the last four days on my iphone, food cats and running was the them i came up with. this is not okay. at all. i hate being that girl who loves cats but doesn't want to be a "cat person" fyi to all you cat haters, i'm also a DOG person and a mouse person and a horse person and a turtle person. (seriously). any way, this week has been a crazy one at work. we are gearing up for our summer associate interns (about 60 of them) to arrive on monday, and also have been hosting about 200 other students for various other events. we had a three hour long reception last night and all i got to eat were some grapes and cheese. not cool. what is cool though is that i finally got to try waffels and dinges (awesome nyc food truck) on monday with my co-workers. to say that it was good would be an understatement. 

it's fine that i had a giant waffle for lunch, because i had a think thin bar for breakfast (they are SO good and SO filling) so it's totally okay right?

also, can we talk about this heat? i'm sorry but i hate it. i love summer but getting to work sweaty and frizzy is not my idea of a good time. i'd rather be wearing two fleeces and two pairs of pants on my commute (um that happened) then sweating the whole time. case in point that this heat is making me feel not myself..i have been drinking water. A LOT. for those of you who know me, i don't like water. i'm not into water. i mean, i think people look cool when they carry giant water bottles, but it's just not me. until this week. i have been downing it. i have also learned that i much prefer to drink water when it is NOT cold. i don't like cold water. i like it luke warm. okay, yes also weird. 

i have also developed a new obsession with these granola bars. i know they are not new, and probably not the best thing in the world for me, but i just can't stop (cue the ne-yo). i had 2 yesterday, and stopped myself before diving in for a third. 

this is jack. he likes to stretch and foam roll with me. he also sits under me while i do push-ups and tries to cuddle while i am attempting a .5 second long plank. it's annoying, but i'm a "cat person" remember? so i put up with it. this morning, i hit up the treadmill. way too hot to go outside for a run. i ran home from work the other day and i was tired and thirsty after 3 minutes. this morning, i did an easy/slow 4 miles. i am feeling a little lost without a training plan right now, so i need to fix that stat.  

this is my awkward attempt at being a cool fitness blogger. i succeeded at the awkward part. at first, i looked at the mirror and took the pic, but i looked possessed and super creepy so i just decided to "casually glance elsewhere" muahaha. check out my new running tank from zappos. 20 bones and they delivered it to me over night. it's a dri-fit tank and i wanted it in a cool color (like orange) so i wouldn't end up looking like a ninja, but oh well. okay, have i scared you yet? it's 6:40 am and i've written a really strange blog post..today is going to be an interesting day. i shall leave you with two more pictures. cats and food. shocker. 

do you know how much i love yogurt covered pretzels?
