Today Mark turns 28. The handsome devil.

Mark is my best friend and my favorite person in the world. Just by being himself, he makes my heart happy.  Be sure to wish him a Happy Birthday on twitter.

Some of my favorite things about Mark:

• He is patient, sincere and smart.
• He can be silly like in his Hangry Pants videos (Thoughts on a Beer Ice Cream Float, ProBar Contest Video, Mark and Heather’s Exercise Video, I Need Help Cooking).
• He is clean.
• He eats everything I cook. 
• He likes little kids and they like him.
• He is a good person.
• He makes good eggs.
• He encourages me.

The list of dislikes will be posted tomorrow.

This morning I woke Mark up by putting his current favorite breakfast on his pillow.  I made us some Banana French Toast by combining two eggs with two mashed bananas. The bananas get encrusted on the bread in a sweet mush. This makes four pieces of French Toast. You must try it ASAP.

It really is a delicious treat, especially when covered with a bit of peanut butter.

I think it deserves another photo.

A lot of people commented on my “Personal Watermelon” last night. I assure you that I did not make up that name. They are just Baby Watermelons. I scored a pretty big one for $2.50 yesterday. See, I can hold it in my palm.

Summit News

Didn’t get a Healthy Living Summit ticket? Tomorrow Caitlin will auction off one ticket with the proceeds benefits her Team in Training efforts, so be sure to check out the ticket sale.

Did you see me in all my running glory on Andrea from Off Her Cork’s June Feet on the Street feature?

Also, running related, Girls on the Run New Jersey is looking for coaches for the fall session. The program will now meet twice a week, once during the week and once on Saturday, but you do not  have to be able to do both days to be involved. Go to the Volunteer page to get more information and email me with any questions (HangryPants@gmail.com).

The Cleaner Life Month is obviously not an easy challenge. The hardest parts so far have been avoiding soy and buying only organic produce. The wheat flour and sugar are actually pretty easy because, other than the sushi rice, you can pretty much tell when something is going to have sugar in it. In case you were wondering, most store bought bread that is not sprouted grain bread, has sugar in it, if of course, it does not have High Fructose Corn Syrup.

That said, today I had a sandwich on bread with sugar. I was really hungry, wanted a peanut butter sandwich and it was the only bread in the house. I guess I am not cut out for all or nothing. I will get back to the store for more sprouted grain bread today!

In case you were wondering, it was delicious!

To clarify, the bread contained sugar. I did not sprinkle sugar on top!!!
