Edit: Totally forgot, today I guest posted for the lovely Katie over at Katie Moves. I adore her blog so please check it out!
I handled last night even worse. All my free stuff I was relying on for meals this week however, hasn’t arrived. Kind of frustrating. I ended up having such random combinations for dinner – both sweet and savory egg whites. I had some with salsa and some with some NuNaturals and cinnamon combo. (Don’t knock it till you try it!) Not sure what I am going to do till I leave Sunday but I got to start improvising and getting creative so I don’t have to buy stuff. No pay in five weeks + paying two months rent = me broke as ever.
My plans for the fourth? A morning run that ended up being the longest I have done in a while (11 miles) and laundry. Whoa man, I have to control this party animal. It made me though really realize I miss having a long running buddy. Just makes the time fly by. I have some blog posts I really want to write, lots of organizing to do before Cali and loads of laundry needing to be done. Because I have to work on Thursday and Friday (luckily remotely from home!), I want to take tomorrow to be productive BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY take some time for me. I am thinking a nice walk through neighborhoods will be much needed. Unfortunately, already my bad luck spirals back. Our apartment lost internet and cable meaning I am currently at a Starbucks typing away. 
Wish I could write more but after the flood of thoughts last night I am kind of drowning in my own pool. This is just a pop in post, I know most bloggers will probably be with family or friends today celebrating. I hope everyone has a wonderful fourth and soaks up the day off!
Enjoy your run today girl! You’ll get through the hard times, I’m sure <3
so sweet Katie, enjoy this fun day as well!
Great job on pumping out 11 miles. I hope your day gets better! Take some time for yourself and relax. Have a good 4th!
I hope you have a wonderful fourth Heidi!
Happy 4th from a Canadian reader!
happy fourth and hopefully you get to do something fun today too!
Have a great day! Sorry you’re going through this rough time right now. Stay strong, like you always are
thanks Haley, I hope you have a wonderful day as well.
Hey girl! I read your post from last night and I’m sorry you’re in a less than ideal place.
I hope everything gets worked out! Also, remember to take care of yourself.. Maybe ask your parents for some money for food? If you’re running that much, you really need to make sure you’re not skimping so you can continue to beast your runs! You can do this, stay strong! <3
Thanks Chelsea, I feel ya now with no internet and cable. Really does take some getting used to.
I hope you feel better vey soon,my dearest Alex! You certainly don’t deserve the struggles you’re going through right now,please stay strong ’cause you’re worth it!
thanks Kat that means a lot!
My 4th probably won’t be too exciting either but it’s great you got a long run in! I think any day that you get to do something you love, even if it seems boring to other people, is a great day.
I agree, doing what I love and trying to enjoy myself is key!
Aahh I hate hearing how sad you have been lately.
Please make sure that you are living and not surviving. If you have not already, it may be helpful to really take a look at your bank account and see how much you can budget for your groceries. It may be more than you realize. Also, I agree with the comment above that your parents may be willing to loan you some money for groceries. I think they would rather give you money than see you lose weight. It worries me that you are running 8+ miles every day, walking around DC, and fueling on whatever is left in the refrigerator. Please, please, please don’t let your recovery slip away.
You are so sweet Kristin, I think I have spent today with all my walking to find internet (grr) to really know that I can turn all of this around. I seriously have lists up the wazoo but I already feel better.
happy 4th and i hope you’re able to really rest and give yourself that TLC!
The no internet and cable in the apartment is throwing those plans for a loop, gah.
Happy 4th of July! Eggs + salsa is very delicious… I call it “southwestern eggs” hehe… sounds fancy
Ha so much classier that way! Chipotle salsa with them rocks.
that’s TWO bloggers I’ve seen eating sweet egg whites in the same day! clearly I need to try this. My RD told me to start eating eggs (I’m kind of avoidant of them, it’s a texture thing lol) so maybe new flavor combos will help. I spend most of my independence day in the car and reminding my grandma who I am lol so don’t feel too lame
I hope the internet thing gets sorted – I think some chill time the next few days will be just what you need!
Try all different textures, hardboiled egg whites or even the liquid eggs. They both have different textures so find what you like. I love poached eggs, that is really the only way I like the texture of the yolks. Try it out! Egg salad is one of my favorite things. Trader JOe’s has an egg white egg salad with greek yogurt, holy shiz you need to try this.
ohh wow 11 miles!! I am hoping I get some runs in while I’m here in Hong Kong. A little hard since it’s unsafe here to be alone when you don’t know the place but here’s to hoping!
Man,I can’t even imagine running there. It must be so hot and jam packed. You will figure something out.
here’s to hoping!
11 miles!!?? You’re a running machine! I can barely tweek out 2!
Don’t be afraid to ask for help..:) I agree with some of the others, maybe ask your parents for some money so that you can get some food.
Bless your heart….I hope things get better for you.
I think I am just trying to sit down and look at what I have to work with. I know getting my own place is the first step so that is what I am concentrating on. Thanks for thinking of me and hope you had a good holiday.
