Monday Morning Rain is Falling

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your motivational advice. :) Today is a really muggy & rainy day in Florida which is actually perfect weather. Yesterday my boyfriend and I decided we should end things. As hard as it is, we both know it's the right thing to do. I'm not going to go into details, but he is my best friend so I really hope we can still have our talks. I may be a little MIA these next few days just so I can adjust to this new chapter in life.

Anyways, enough crazy talk. ;)

Eggs w/ ketchup & turkey slices

Banana chips from The Fresh Market

Chick-fil-A Diet Lemonade mmm

Parmesan crusted chicken & cherries

The Da Vinci Code + watermelon
I've been wanting to read this for a longgg time. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it before school starts up again!

Sonny's leftovers: pulled pork, sweet bbq sauce, & coleslaw

Have a good day! Hopefully it's nice & sunny wherever you are. <3 HBB

Live Simply

Hope everyone has had an amazing week :)

I'm finally back in civilization for a few days yay! My family and I have been camping 4 nights without electric, water, or phone service. Roughing it at its best!

We found this bumper sticker and I love it!
Live Simply, that others may simply live.

Eggs, fried turkey slices, cottage cheese, banana

Turkey sandwich with raw peanuts, grapes, & a peach

Unflattering pic of beans & weenies
(definitely the best camp meal so far.. had like 2 more helpings of it.)

Mediterranean soup & turkey sandwich on wheat bread

Blended iced white chocolate latte :)

Hotel b-fast food: Total cereal, light & fit raspberry yogurt, OJ

My doggy Sammie and I by a waterfall. It's his birthday today!!! He's 6 years old.. so I guess that means 42 in people years. He's getting so old!


Thank you so much to Baylee for this lovely blog award! I'll pass it off in my next post to three others, so look forward to that. :)

The family and I are off to Atlanta for the night. Tomorrow we're going to head back up to the mountains for yet another week of camping. Happy 4th everyone!

Food Time

Does anyone remember the Blue Clue's song "Mail Time"?

Sorry this is so random. It's a pretty catchy song though I promise.

Anyway, instead of mail time... it's Fooood Time!
Go on.. wag your tail if you want to. :)

Ring ring banana phone
Turkey deli meat, eggs, strawberries

Baked eggplant w/ spaghetti sauce & Parmesan cheese

Attack of the Veggie Chips

Salad w/ tomatoes, turkey burger, green pepper, vinaigrette & OJ

Target's Crunchy Peanut Butter Granola Bar
These taste EXACTLY like Do-Si-Dos Girl Scout Cookies!

I went to my Great Uncle's Memorial today. After the service there were literally four tables worth of food which explains this massive lunch plate pileup:

- ham slices + pastrami
-sweet potato casserole
- bean salad (insanely good)
- green bean casserole
-coleslaw
-lettuce & cucumber salad

& then for better or for worse happened:

Coconut cream pie :)

Dinner= Sonny's chicken fingers & corn nuggets

Tomorrow I need to do some kind of running since I basically just sat, ate, and slept today. I just need to find some kind of motivation.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Wear your sunscreen <3 HBB

Summer Lovin'

Hi friends! I'm Shannon, The Healthy Beach Bum, & this is my first post! :) I discovered all of your amazing foodie blogs towards the beginning of this year, and have secretly been hooked ever since.

I just finished my junior year of college at the University of Florida and will be home sweet home for the summer in FL. My goal for for these next few months is to get into a consistent and healthy eating/fitness routine.

Breakfast:

1 egg + 1 egg white, 3 pieces turkey deli lunch meat, & hot sauce (muy caliente!)

1 tiny Granny (Smith) :)

Workin' on my fitness:

Post yummy b-fast I went out for my daily run. I'm VERY bad at making decisions, so it took me THREE tries before I finally decided where I wanted to go running .

The plan was a beach run.. I was hoping for a day like this:

But it turned out it was HIGH TIDE. I attempted to run it for about 15 minutes, but it was just too difficult. There was no room to run on shore.

So instead, I drove by Hulk Gogan's beach house for a little tourist time. :)

I finally decided to run a 1.5 mile sidewalk (down & back) alongside the water.

In the end, it all worked out.. literally! :)

LUNCH:

I'd like to call this the "Salad Concoction"

(I make a lot of these...)

Romaine, sugar-free bread & butter pickles, vidalia onion vinaigrette, ramano cheese, broccoli slaw

The secret YUM factor in this salad was...

Sauerkraut + turkey lunch meat!

First fried in a pan & then mixed all together.

WEIRD, but amazing..

I also had this orange + frozen blackberries combo:

Time to take my dog out for a walk!

I can't wait to share more of my healthy ramblings with you! <3 HBB
