If only my pose of the dancer looked half that good.

Loving: I finally FINALLY got the black & white striped capris from Athleta I’ve been obsessed with. If you recall, I ordered them eons ago but got the black/grey striped ones in error….which I love and kept (of course I did) but could not get over my lust for the black/white. So I succumbed to the come-hither $10 off coupon sitting in my email. Now we’ll see what they actually deliver.
Not Loving: That Lulu skirt I wore to the race where I complained there are no race pics of me? It’s on sale. In my size. Hate when that happens.
Not Loving: I needed both as much as I need another hole in the head.
Loving: I’m tapering for Twin Cities on 10/4.
Not Loving: Still loving everything about that.
Loving: Halo Top Ice Cream. There are 240 cals. in the entire pint. To put this in perspective, Ben & Jerry’s has 250 calories in a 1/2 cup. No joke, Halotop is high-protein, low-sugar and low-fat, and it tastes delicious!. I’ve had the lemon cake and vanilla so far and thumbs up to both!
Not Loving: The kids dig Halo Top too.
Loving: Thing 1 has this “late arrival” thing pretty often at school so she gets to sleep in and I make her pancakes and we have some nice, leisurely “girl time” on those mornings.
Not Loving: Having to drive her to school at 10am totally cuts into my running time.
Loving: Pumpkin Spice Latte, what else is new?
Not Loving: Holy jack-o-lantern they are friggin pricey!
Loving: The barista at the Tarjay Starbucks charges me for a regular latte because I only get one pump of the pumpkin syrup. For that I’ll tolerate him calling me “doll”…maybe.
Not Loving: There’s a star dash where I get 3 stars for each PSL I buy. When he charges me for a regular latte, I don’t get my stars. The horror! #firstworldproblems
Loving: All the exciting plans I see everyone making for next year
Not Loving: I can’t make myself think past October
Loving: Our Runfession Friday Linkup is sneaking up fast! Join us on 9/25 to spill yours!
Not Loving: September is slipping away way too quickly.
What are you loving lately? Not so much?
I’m linking up with Amanda for Thinking Out Loud Thursday
School doesn’t start until 10a.m. That seems so crazy! I would have loved that as a kid.
I have never seen that ice cream but I am looking for it next time I’m out! I eat more ice cream than I’d like to admit… ha Thanks for sharing!
I can’t think past October either! And that’s awesome about the Starbucks guy…although too bad you cant get the stars for a PSL.
I can’t think past October either. Sometimes I can’t even think beyond this week. Doesn’t matter – the plans will happen eventually.
I LOVE the lemon halo top, but the stopped carrying it at all the stores around me.
OK I must find some of the Halo Top you speak of! I’m not lovin’ how fast September is flying by either.
I need to try that halo ice cream and perhaps this is the year I try a PSL!
LOL on keeping the “wrong” tights and still ordering the right ones. I paid $4+ for a tall PSL – next time I’ll wait until I have a free drink … or not ….
I won’t lie, I would still rather Ben and Jerrys. I tried Arctic Zero and it just didn’t do it for me.
Ooh. That ice cream totally looks worth trying.
Okay I am going to have to google the ingredients in that Halo top stuff because I am intrigued as to how it has so few calories but still tastes good. What’s the macro breakdown in that stuff?
I’m the same way if I ever go to Starbucks. I only like one pump of the flavor otherwise it is too sweet to drink. I haven’t seen that ice cream around in retail stores by me. Sounds appealing! Thanks for reminding me about Runfessions! I always love reading those (and maybe I’ll actually have some to share now that I’ve laced up the runners again)
Those Athleta leggings also need to find their way into my workout wardrobe! SO cute!
I haven’t heard of Halo Top (or seen it, I think).
I tried Artic Zero & that stuff was disgusting! I actually just try to go out for the real thing when I really want it. But definitely don’t keep it in the house, and when I do want something creamy & cold, I do greek yogurt or banana soft serve.
I’m with you on the exercise clothes, in fact, I was going to print out that coupon and maybe head to Athleta myself today. Because my half in October could be cold. And my present capris don’t have enough pockets,although if it is cold I’ll probably be wearing a jacket.
And of course I won’t have done any long runs in said capris if I do buy them.
First world/runner problems.
I’m also loving those capris! The possibilities are endless with tops to go with them! I do hope you get in the right ones this time!
I haven’t seen the Halo top but I don’t grocery shop much ! I finally booked a 5K for October & 1 in December- I gotta get my butt in gear!
Love those Athleta Capris! I haven’t heard of Halo Top but will have to look for it! Sounds yummy!
I need those striped tights, they are adorable!! I’ve never heard of Halo Top, where do you buy it?
Those capris are so beautiful! I am loving stripes lately.
