Work, Shoes, and Rocco

I have decided I want to be Pippa’s bff.

She seems so badass.

I’m sorry, but let me admire True Blood’s star Rutina Wesley’s legs for a moment.

And oh my gosh. I love you Khloe Kardashian.

Okay, okay. I’m done. Now onto more important matters like…

it was my first day working at Zupan’s!

I work in the bakery/Peet’s Coffee. It was just super overwhelming trying to remember all the codes to ringing up sweets and such. I liked it. I hope I get the hang of it soon. I get free samples of cakes after all. Holla.

I got my first paycheck yesterday and it basically makes up for new pair of running shoes.

I’m on a limb here, people. I was iffy about every shoe I tried on, but I think that is just because I want my foot to get better so I’m being really picky. I don’t even know how my shoes should feel on anymore.

I bought these:

Adidas adiZero Tempo 4

- Very lightweight
- Provides adaptive mid-foot support; pro-moderator medial support device prevents overpronation

I ran like ten minutes in them yesterday, but tomorrow I will definitely take them on a longer run (hoping my foot cooperates) so I know if I want to keep them or get the New Balance 1190 instead. So far I like them. I have not found a bad review yet.

I have never owned a pair of Adidas running shoes so I’m nervous to give them a shot. You don’t see too many runners with Adidas shoes. The guy at the Portland Running Co. said that they looked like they fit my feet pretty well while I jogged in them. He seemed to know what he was talking about and he was cute. That’s a plus. We conversed about Blink 182… and running, obviously.

I also finally received Rocco Dispirito’s book!

Ignore my appearance. I just got back from spinning and of course decided to eat over showering.

I am so excited to try his recipes! FYI, I’m not on a diet, but come on – who doesn’t love Rocco? I’ve been loving him since he’s been on Dancing With the Stars.

I am learning a lot actually about him and food.

Dijon Mustard is a great flavor in terms of touching up the taste of food. It only has 15 calories a tablespoon.
Rocco trains for triathlons
There is such a thing s negative calorie foods like asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, and cabbage.

There are so many great recipes too. I am definitely going to try out Rocco’s blueberry vanilla smoothie, blueberry graham cheesecake oatmeal, and eggplant torta.
