Catching things up


It's almost 8am here, and while enjoying my sugar free caramel vanilla coffee, I thought I'd give pop in and say hi. I have so many blogs to catch up on and I also have a review that I've done on some Candy Blue circle lenses that I received from e-cirlclelens.com that I want to get up here. I wish I could clone myself. I would have one do all the work stuff, and the other me would get to do everything I wanted to do. Then, of course, to be fair to myself I each of me would switch responsibilities every other day. Isn't that a good idea?

Let me put a question out there that I've been thinking about lately. This is more directed to those of you who regularly hit the gym. Well, I guess this could apply just about anywhere, so all are welcome to fire out those opinions! I've seen so much gossip at my gym (duh! like it's not like that at every gym? I know it is.) I've seen it from competitors more so I think. Which is so strange to me. It's not like everyone wants to do what we do. You think we would stick together a bit more. But you have to be really careful about what you say and to whom. I know some who tell me about others, and I'm not dumb enough to think they're not talking about me when I'm not there. I've heard that people who are super friendly to my face, tell others that they're surprised I've placed where I have. Crappy, right?

I try to just be friendly to everyone and just make my way through my workout. I really like my gym, I just don't like how it's gotten recently. What would you do? Would you call out the gossipers on what they say, or just leave it be? I'm leaving it right now, because I just don't feel like fueling the fire.

On a different note. It's Fall time! Love it or hate it? I don't love it, because Winter is right around the corner and I hate cold weather. But I don't hate it either, because there's a lot of fun seasonal things to do and eat that you can't do all year round. I'm definitely venturing out today to get my pumpkin spice coffee to brew at home. I've already been to Starbucks to get a non-fat Pumpkin Spice Latte! A tall only has 200 cal. It's still kinda high for a tall, but for a fall treat it's not bad. I made some sugar free pumpkin butter yesterday which is so yummy! I've had some by itself, and also tried it on chicken and it was pretty darn good! I heard that Dairy Queen has a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard! Yikes! I will have to try and find a swap out for that, because it sounds just too tempting! Oh, and the last fall thing I've had is Chipotle Apple Raspberry Sauce from Yates Cider Mill (local cider mill). It's sweet and has a really good kick to it. You can use this stuff on crackers, chicken, burgers, whatever! Just be careful, 1 Tbs has 40 cals! That's more than BBQ sauce! But, like I said, you can't get this stuff year round.

Well, time to grab me another cup of coffee and get moving on the day!
Bye~
