As I said in last Thursday’s post, I knew we would get to Magnolia Bakery for the chocolate banana pudding before we would get to the lululemon outlet. Only thing is, my son ate the pudding and didn’t share with me.
The most I got was a picture of the lid.
He made sure to tell me that I would most certainly love this new chocolate version of the banana pudding and that the chocolate parts were like chunks of brownies.
I would get annoyed at his selfish nature when it comes to sharing food but he’s my kid which means it’s an inborn trait. I can respect it. Sort of.
I would have ordered my own chocolate banana pudding had I known he really wasn’t sparing a spoonful but the truth is, we were at the Magnolia Bakery in Bloomingdales so I was enjoying my frozen yogurt anyway.
I came across this 10 minute quick workout for runners from Pop Sugar and really like it. Don’t take it lightly though my workout friends, it actually left me pretty sore! I couldn’t even believe it.
In fact, I was so sore in my seat (ha, total Pure Barre language) that I had to discuss this workout video with Laura and make her try it too!
Now i want you to try it and let me know what you think. It did not seem that hard at all but the one-legged squats and lunges, which were literally a minute long, get the job done.
On the running shoe front, I am in shock that I currently love my Energy Boosts and new pair of Saucony Rides on an equal level. It makes me wish that I could wear one of each shoe to really figure out which I prefer – that’s how much my feet love both pairs of shoes right now.
I even like the Saucony’s for the treadmill which isn’t easy for me to say about a running shoe.
At the moment I don’t even know which pair I will wear for my next race. Seriously.
And oh, if you ever see my son, please do not give him any money.
My mom gave him some money over the weekend (because that’s what grandparents do) and he used the money TO ORDER HIMSELF A PIZZA while I was in the kitchen making dinner.
What goes on in my life cannot be made up.
While Domino’s certainly has its own pizza charm, who orders from Domino’s when there’s true New York pizza on every corner? It’s like getting a bagel at Panera. I don’t get it.
It would have been a little bit more acceptable and understandable had my son actually ordered the cookie brownie pie that is advertised on the box instead of a pizza considering I WAS ALREADY MAKING DINNER.
I really didn’t get that upset about the Domino’s man showing up at the door, in case you were wondering. It happened, it was sort of funny, my son paid for it himself so he learned the value of a dollar and I saved the dinner (chicken and potatoes) I made for him for the next night (which he actually admitted was quite good).
And really, so long as no one gives him more money, I am treating it like a terrorist situation. If you cut off the funds, hopefully they can’t continue to strike.

Do you have a specific pizza place you order from? What do you usually get?
Have you tried Magnolia’s chocolate banana pudding yet? Ever had the original?
Which types of workouts usually leave you sore?
Glad your son paid for Dominos himself lol 🙂 I’ve always wondered the same thing about them and Pizza Hut because there are so many awesome pizza places in this area, I just don’t get it!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Rule Following, Noodles, and What My Kids Don’t Know
ha, pizza hut. is there one still open out here? I think there was a taco bell pizza hut left in Commack but I don’t even kno wfor sure because I never eat it lol. I think I used to go to pizza hut though sometimes back in the day – they had a salad bar!
There are a few famous pizza places within walking distance of my apartment, but I’ve only eaten at one of them once. I’m just not a big pizza person! I’ve actually never ordered a pizza in my life…I’ve had takeout before but never been the one to order it. Weird!

really? never ordered delivery? maybe order in from one of those places you have yet to try!
Your son cracks me up. He is one of the most independent and self starting people I know of!
Susie @ SuzLyfe recently posted…Pacing Strategies : Objective Race Pacing Strategies
aw thanks! I try to look at the positives to such behavior, thanks for pointing them out!
That’s so funny! We don’t have any good pizza places around here that deliver. We have a pizza place thats a bar/sit down restaurant that we love but its tough to get a reservation. I definitely want to try that workout video!
Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine recently posted…Thoughts on Running Lately
please try it and report back to me! I need to know if you get sore too lol
Your son keeps your house rock’in that’s for sure. He is very mature in his wittiness and style. It will serve him very well as he moves into adulthood and certainly keeps u laughing, entertained and sometimes exacerbated– that’s what you get from smart kids!!
that’s for sure. he certainly has kept me on my toes since he was born!
My glutes were a bunch of knots the morning after that video. Single leg work gets me every time, which probably means I should do it more.
The pizza story is too funny! We don’t order out pizza as much as make it, especially because I love a chewy whole wheat crust.
Laura @ This Runner’s Recipes recently posted…Tangle-Proof Hairstyle for Runners
you would love the vegetable slice I get on the whole wheat crust – it’s so so good from this one place by me! I usually make pizza at home but I love when we get it from there, best whole wheat slice ever.
Mmmm…. Thank the Lord for yummy pudding. 🙂

Oh my gosh I love regular banana pudding so much, the thought of a chocolate version blows my mind!!
Jen@bubblyrunner.com recently posted…Preparing For A Destination Race
it definitely looked good!
Even I, the celiac, thinks you have to teach him pizza soon!
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl recently posted…Thinking Out Loud: Plans and Priorities
right? I don’t know why he chose dominos – we never get from there.
I love that you kinda got your hands on some of that chocolate banana pudding! Yum! We have loads of good pizza places here in ATL. It’s dangerous that some even deliver.
Alaina @ The Simple Peach recently posted…Workouts I Am Loving & Wanting To Try
yeah delivery makes things easy, as my son showed lol
I’ve never been to Magnolia’s Bakery! I recently visited friends in the city and they kept raving about the banana pudding from there, but we never made it there for me to try it. I will definitely make it a priority to try it next time I am in the Big Apple. When ordering pizza, I always go with pineapple! Some people think it’s disgusting, but I loooove it
Sara @ Oats & Rows recently posted…Currently: March
I know people like the pineapple combo – I used to think it was weird when I was a kid but now I don’t! I can respect it!
Hahah I still can’t believe he ordered a pizza. That might be the best story I’ve ever heard. And the smartest kid. Like who thinks to do that?!
Sarah @pickyrunner recently posted…See you later
ha – he does! Never underestimate him! I am glad I gave you a good laugh this week lol
The pizza thing is hilarious. Freddy got $40 from his Oma and he ordered a bunch of pizzas and wings for himself and all his friends at the skate park. Then he asked me for money to go out later and I was like, NO! What’s with these boys and pizza?!?!
Suzy recently posted…Reflection
ha — it’s gotta be a boy thing. I mean, I like my pizza but if someone gives me money, it’s not the first thing on my list!
I wish we had good New York pizza in California! Thats so funny that your son ordered it though! I probably would have done the same thing probably because I just thought food delivery was the coolest thing!
I think he too likes the novelty of ordering and having it delivered lol
You are a better mama than me! I would TOTALLY have been mad about the not sharing the chocolate banana pudding AND him ordering a pizza while I was cooking dinner!
Kudos to you and your patience.
Heather@hungryforbalance recently posted…Diet Overhaul
LOLOL!! Omg your son is seriously the biggest character. I don’t think I’d be able to get mad at something like that either – I’d be laughing my butt off. I usually get pizza from Royal Pizza, but I seriously need to try making it at home one of these days.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…a special someone, my OCD tendencies, and hoodie popcorn (ToL#174)
Wow. I’m not sure if I think your son is daring to possibly upset you – twice, actually, for kind of rejecting your homemade dinner -and- choosing the wrong pizza place 😉 – or just a cool kid. What you write about him cracks me up on the regular.

That does look really good. I have been in such a pudding mood lately too. It also makes really good ice cream believe it or not.
Hollie recently posted…Four Years of Shamrockin’
I actually used to freeze jello puddings and eat them frozen, slightly defrosted – it was so good!
That Domino’s story is hysterical, although next time he should get some real NY pizza, not Domino’s.
The Hubby doesn’t like to share food either, whereas almost my whole family will readily share bites of each other’s food. It makes the Hubby crazy. I know you’d be able to relate.

I can totally relate.
