So take off all your clothes!
Wait, what? Sorry! Didn’t mean to head off on a weird tangent.
However, I can tell you that temps this week are starting to warm up and it was 18degrees for my run this morning. For serious! I was loving life so much that I cranked out 7 miles.
And the angels sang.
I almost *almost* came home at 5 because my bellah was a bit grumbly but I punched out for 7 because my thinking was, take advantage of the warm weather while I can because this is Ohio and who knows what will happen tomorrow. Ohio is weather schizo and I mean that in a very PC way because I am totally PC and on the up and up.
After my cold shower, brrrr, I warmed up with the space heater and a huge bowl of oatbran. Mmmm yummy! I slapped Rocky’s coat on him, put on my new and stylish army jacket and we were out the door for a walky. It was even warmer than before, amazing! It was a very pleasant walk.
I was starving for lunch which was the same old same old. Smoothie today contained yogurt for extra punch:
- 1C Carrot Juice
- 1C Unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1C Water
- Spinach (jam packed)
- 3 cubes of frozen yogurt
- Frozen blueberries
- Frozen peaches
There was the addition of a chick’n patty with lunch today for some extra protein and cals.
I worked it hard at muay thai this evening and when I was done my body was like, “Whoa sister that’s a lot of shit we did today. How about we eat some grub ASAP?” My legs are a bit “tired”. Wondering what a run will be like tomorrow? Short is probably the best answer.
Fish Tuesday twisted up!
Orange Roughy thanks to Kroger, these were big honkin’ fillets too! The sauce was:
- Toasted sesame oil
- Olive oil
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Garlic powder
- Curry powder
- Sea Salt
On the side was some roasted asparagus and roasted chick peas! I have been craving beans like crazy and since I need more protein today due to intense workout, chick peas were a good call! The topping for those were:
- Soy sauce
- Olive oil
- Curry powder
- Garlic powder
- Cayenne pepper
The asparagus was pretty standard:
- Olive oil
- Soy sauce
- Garlic rosemary blend
But today I also added in some thinly sliced shallots to mix it up a little bit.
Brown jasmine rice on the side which also had soy sauce and garlic powder mixed in for some bump up.
I loaded my plate up! Gimme some food! The seasoning for the fish was really perfect. Curry and toasted sesame can be a bit overpowering but it worked out amazingly well with the roughy. Definitely a keeper for the books!
I’m off to watch some hockey and rest my bones. I may have a snack later since I burned so many cals today and because my belly still feels a bit empty. Tomorrow pumpkins!
It’s so good to hear someone else runs outside and drinks smoothies in this weather, ha ha. I live in Kentucky ;-) I think we’re having a “heat wave” later this week, woo hoo!
chickpeas with curry powder – yum!
Your dinner looks so tasty!
Way to pump out the 7-miler. I think it is sad that we think these temps are warm, but they are… comparatively!
High of 35 here this week. WHOA!
Great job on the 7-miler!!
congrats on the 7 miles! But dude 18 degrees? this california girl would suffer in that cold!
Congrats on a 7 miler! That is hard core for sure
And how do you cook your chickpeas? I bought a bag of dried ones, but have no clue what to do with them!
