An Odd Combination

Eat

Had another good day of eats today. Had to add an almond butter sandwich to dinner (roasted eggplant) because I was going to be a bit calorie deficient.

NSV!

I managed to drag my butt out of bed this morning and run 3 miles as the sun rose (this was my NSV). Sadly, I did not feel nearly as energized today as I expected. I’m hoping to do it again tomorrow again. I did the run as more of an easy jog and [...]

Protein protein protein

Cool Running (who I credit with my running because of their famous Couch to 5k plan) tweeted/twittered today about the 8 common nutrition mistakes. I didn’t and still haven’t made it past mistake number 1: protein intake. The article recommends .5 – .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. This would mean I [...]

Monday, bloody Monday

I don’t think those are the actual song lyrics…but it’s my blog so I can say whatever I want

Mondays are a ginormous fail in my opinion. Is there a point in life when you start enjoying Mondays? If so let me know when that is and I’ll just try to skip ahead. (I really [...]

M and I took a trip to Costco this weekend where I picked up a packet of Pita Chips…

to go with my industrial sized container of hummus I’ve had for a bit. I was hesitant about these chips, but holy cow they were good. The best part? The [...]

Great swim finallly (daily update)

Fantastic day today, despite feeling like I was starving about half way through the afternoon. I combated that by eating a wrap with a smidge of honey mustard on it. It wasn’t good but it satisfied my hunger pains.

For dinner, I made the same risotto that I made last week. It has sundried tomatoes and [...]

Exercise, Day 1

Yesterday, I was scheduled to do an easy swim in the a.m. and an interval run and upper body work out in the evening, and that is precisely what I did.

My swim in the morning was rough. Out of the three activities, I think this is the one that I lost the most because of [...]
