Hey hey! How tired are you of me telling you that my day was busy? I’m guessing pretty tired, so I will refrain.
In the midst of my busy or not busy day (I’ll never tell!) I ate some food. Beginning with a non-smoothie kind of morning. Yep, I drink smoothies when there is ice falling from the sky and don’t drink them when the sun is shining. Don’t ask questions… it will get you no where.
I bought some very intriguing granola at Tarjay t’other day, and couldn’t wait a second longer to try it out. You know you want to try this…
I had 1/3 cup of the granola with some Quaker Oatmeal Squares and a sliced up banana.
I have a much easier time eating cold cereal (and cold food in general) than hot oats in the morning. The hotness makes me feel super full I think. I think that’s why I like eating oats for dinner, when my hunger is in full force.
I clearly did not have my thinking cap on when I packed my food for today. I usually bring leftovers for lunch, but I didn’t have any today so I brought a salad. I planned to pack a pear and some fake meat to put on top of the salad, but I forgot it. It was still extremely tasty, just not as filling as it could have been.
I finished off the container of arugula and mixed in some shredded asiago cheese, craisins, baby carrots and balsamic vinegar. The flavors of the asiago + arugula + dried cranberries was delightful.
I had a protein shake for a snack, but it wasn’t anything you haven’t seen before.
After work I once again headed straight to the gym (who am I?) and did something I haven’t done in a hot minute. I ran. Only 2.0 miles, but I’ve been meaning to get back on the horse, and coincidentally, Lisa reminded me today of our plans to run a 5K i the spring. So I had the motivation I needed
I have a long way to go to get back to where I was with running, and an even longer way to get to where I’d like to be. But… one day at a time.
Plans for the rest of the night include: dinner, some stretching/light yoga, and then a whole lotta nothing. Looking forward to it
More Questions!! Favorites and Least Favorites:
Kbtwood asked: Whats your favorite meal and why!
I have a very hard time picking favorites. Favorite song, favorite color, favorite movie… I never really know the answers. Usually I just go with what sounds good in the moment. Picking a favorite meal might just be the most difficult thing in the world, so instead I shall list a Top 5 6 :)
1. Pizza! Specifically, a veggie pizza with tomatoes, bell peppers, artichokes, black olives and feta cheese.
2. Pad Thai. Either veggie or tofu, spiciness at a 4.
3. Sushi. With edamame to start and a Sapporo beer to wash it all down.
4. Veggie burger and sweet potato fries.
5. My homemade chana masala.
6. Soup!
What is your least favourite thing about blogging?
This question was really hard to answer because I LOVE blogging. But… I guess my least favorite thing about it is the design aspect, because I don’t have a clue how to do it. I purchased my domain, but have yet to do anything cool with the design because I’m so clueless in that regard. I think I’ll eventually pay someone to do it. I’d really like to at least figure out how to do a custom header, but again clueless
Other than that I pretty much love it all – taking pictures, coming up with meals, posting, reading other blogs, commenting on other blogs. I truly look forward to it every day!
