So basically it was my roommates graduation party this past weekend which means our fridge is stocked. Last night we realized though, we only have a fridge full of liquids, no real foods. Weird.
This is our fridge. I knew you would enjoy it. It looks like something off cribs. Yes, we are a little paranoid and line everything up like that even if there isn’t much in the fridge. Yes, we have a ton of red bull and even red bull sugar free (I like). Yes, we have two rows of Heineken, and three rows of Pacificos, and three rows of Coronas. Also please realize that my roommate doesn’t even drink beer. Cheers to me. Cheers to Mr. R. Also notice the bag of limes for all the Mexican beer in the bottom left drawer and the pitas in the bottom right. I have a small obsession eating pita bread with hummus together, actually I eat it every night. Yes, there are two tubs of guacamole on the top shelf. Party time. Notice also that we don’t have milk, or regular bread. But don’t worry, I won’t starve! There is some mac and cheese waiting to be eaten on the top shelf though under that tinfoil. YUM!
Now, here is the door of the fridge. Yup, we have some eggs, some soy milk and more beer, and sparks, and wine and champagne. Oh wait, there’s one little G2 up there! Gosh. Maybe investing in some food would be a good idea.
As for my trip to Hawaii, I’m super excited and I’ve been to the island many times before so I know it well. I already have ideas of what to do, and maybe these plans will include conquering my fear of snorkeling. I just don’t like when those fish get so close to me! I found all my deals on Orbitz, and I price compared and they had the best deals. There were some deals for around $600 that you could fly, get a hotel and a car for 4 nights on Oahu. Plus, I want some sun! I feel so pale!
Last night at the gym I kicked serious butt. I love going to the gym when it’s a bunch of high schoolers and meatballish jocks. It’s very entertaining. Anyways, I haven’t been this sore in a while. I ran a quick 5k, then did hardcore weights that really worked my arms and my back. I really love the cable cross machine, though it looks intimidating, it works your entire body. Then in honor of the trip to Hawaii, I did 200 sit ups on the machine. I have decided I’m going to do 200 sit ups a day until Hawaii. It’s so much easier on the machine though! Doing those at home will be a challenge. Tonight I’ll get in five miles after dinner at my grandma and grandpas. My huge blister on my toe is slowly healing and that’s why I decided to cross train last night. Also giving my knee a break and cross training instead of running so much has been really helpful. It’s a simple reminder to listen to your body when it’s sore. Taking a day or two off from pounding the pavement can be so helpful in nursing an injury and cross training can really help keep your fitness up.
Another last little random thing, if you have twitter and want to follow me talking about complete nonsensical things travel HERE

Siiiiiiiiiiiiick! I ♥ it, and ♥ you, even if you didn't give me a gym shout-out, haha! Time to go FOOD shopping, cuz :)

Does your dad need another daughter? I could take that timeshare off his hands. I’m brunette too, so I’d blend right into your family pictures. :o)

200 sit ups a day? Eck, I’d rather just keep my shirt on the entire time in Kauai than do that.
Can’t get into the Twitter thing. ‘Sides, I have FB for that.
By Billy Burger on 02.25.09 11:43 am
Haha my fridge never looks like that cause we have a beer fridge and if we have a party all the beverages go in the washing machine and we just put water in there and add ice! lol
By J on 02.25.09 12:13 pm
My fridge often looks like this – sometimes it is referred to as the “beverage center” since there are always more drinks than food!
so jealous you are going to kauai. i went 2 years ago and loved every second! have so much fun!
By Bama Belle... on 02.25.09 12:18 pm
i love Kauai! are u going to hike the Na Pali coast while you’re there?
By Megs on 02.25.09 12:32 pm
This is by far the best blog picture I have seen in weeks on any blog! Hilarious, and so awesome. I love the sit-up challenge, I’m trying to do 100 a day to get ready for spring, I love doing them on the exercise ball, somehow that makes them seem do-able.
By Fair Weather Runner on 02.25.09 12:48 pm
That’s a dude’s fridge…awesome
By Vandy-Montana on 02.25.09 12:52 pm
Now I know exactly where to go for a cold beer. :)
By BeachRunner on 02.25.09 1:34 pm
I’ll take a couple beers and a red bull, please :)
Congrats on a kick ass gym workout. I’m jealous that you’re not afraid to use the cable machine. I’m scared of all those machines!
By Brooke on 02.25.09 2:29 pm
Ohmigosh, your fridge looks like you younger brother’s! Hilarious! Get yourself some food, girl!
Your trip sounds amazing. I am so freakin’ jealous.
And if you’re pale, I must be see-trough. :p
By Marlene on 02.25.09 2:35 pm
I swear that was my hubs fridge before I moved in, too funny.
By RunToFinish on 02.25.09 2:38 pm
Your fridge looks like something we did in college! I miss those days! Wow, 200 sit up a day! That is awesome!
By ~Mrs. Guru~ on 02.25.09 2:38 pm
That is my kinda fridge, I wish mine was that well stocked:)
By Amanda on 02.25.09 2:39 pm
Kauai is awesome – running through the sugar cane fields is one of my favorite memories. Snorkeling’s a blast, too – and I would think the fish are more afraid of you, all things considered.
By Donald on 02.25.09 2:59 pm
I love how you have all this really specific beer, and the ketchup is just, well generic tomato ketchup.
Ha!
By Ms. V. on 02.25.09 3:22 pm
I love lining things up!!!
Went thru a Sparks kick until I drank too many one day and I couldn’t sleep AT ALL. Finally took a Xanex at like 2am.
Forgot what else I was going to say. If I remember I’ll email you :)
By P.O.M. on 02.25.09 3:48 pm
I too am TOTALLY afriad to snorkle. When I was in Kauai I tried it and scared myself looking at a big rock.
That day cost me a lot of man cards…..
By Adam on 02.25.09 3:52 pm
i see that you have a lot of redbull cola– is it good?
By LovesPINKandPEARLS on 02.25.09 3:55 pm
Ahh how awesome about the trip to Hawaii. Your super lucky!
I love your fridge stacked with beer, limes and red bull. Organization is key, especially with alcohol. My kinda girl. :)
Also, Mac n Cheese is the best food ever and don’t worry, i know how bad it is for you :)
I’m getting that book when i get back from my trip… i cant wait to read it.
Awesome job on the workout– your doing great!
:)
By Nicole on 02.25.09 4:14 pm
I’ll take a Corona with lime, please.
Way to kick ass on your gym workout! Great job!
By Marathon Maritza on 02.25.09 4:17 pm
Look at all that beer!
I can’t believe you don’t like snorkeling????!!!! Have you been to Larsen’s beach on Kauaii. That was my favorite place to snorkel. Not a single person there and super clear water.
By Alisa on 02.25.09 4:39 pm
don’t forget to add beer to your food shopping list! ;)
soo jealous of your hawaii trip but it sounds like it is going to be so awesome! way to hit the gym hard, you are making me feel guilty right now for sitting on my butt… thanks! lol
By lindsay on 02.25.09 4:52 pm
that is funny……looks like a college dorm room fridge…so beer is your running fuel, huh? i would love to go to hawaii some day…it’s a lot more expensive to fly from the midwest though, and I don’t have any timeshare hookups…have fun.
By Oz Runner on 02.25.09 5:14 pm
Nice!! That’s a good idea for a post some day when I have nothing to ramble on and on about.
We just bought a new fridge for the house, too!!
By Denise on 02.25.09 6:19 pm
Your beverages look so beautifully arranged ;)
Re: Kauai – I’m turning fluorescent with the green over here!

200 sit-ups a day. WOW! You’re totally my hero because that’s insane. I should start doing more situps… I hate working my abs!
By Amber on 02.25.09 8:52 pm
Wow, your workout sounds so hardcore. I can’t imagine doing that many pushups. Hope you have lots of fun in Hawaii!
By The Laminator on 02.25.09 9:30 pm
Kaui is my favorite island too. you better get lots of good pics and post them.
Good job on the workouts.200 situps – you go girl.

This is my first comment, so I'm saying, "Hi!"
Haha, I love how straight all rows of bottles are! Yay, fridge organization & two tubs of guac!
Ooh, 200 sit-ups a day before Hawaii! Such ambition, I love it!
By Mica on 02.26.09 5:47 am
Love all the beer!!I so wish I was heading to Aloha State! BodyPump is hardcore, but it is so awesome and so worth it!
By Allie on 02.26.09 6:22 am
You are going to have so much fun in Kaui and rock hard abs too. I am jealous.

too funny, in our fridge sometimes all we seem to have is beverages and condiments. I have to buy the Mr. seriously 5 different beverages…
By Mrs. Jetplane on 02.27.09 2:24 pm
Sorry to comment on such an old post, but I just found your blog and I love it!
And your fridge kills me! It could be mine! It cracks me up that you drink Sparks because a friend of mine and I get made fun of mercilessly for drinking that junk! Good thing you run because it only has like 3000 calories a sip!! Love the blog!
