I could tell this morning when I looked outside that the sun was going to make an appearance today.\u00a0 You can sort of get an impression of what the day is going to be like when you&#8217;re up just as the sun is starting to rise.\u00a0 Despite the fact that Scott and I would like to move elsewhere, the one upside to Ohio is that we do at least get some sunshine during the winter months.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the crazy wind we had last night, most of the snow had blown away leaving the roads and sidewalks clear.\u00a0 There were a few ice patches but they were easy to avoid.\u00a0 It was colder this morning than it was yesterday morning but there was no wind so I was able to bust out five miles no prob!\u00a0 Well my legs felt a bit tired today but I didn&#8217;t let that get me down, I powered on through!\u00a0 Then I did week 2 of Gina&#8217;s Winter Shape-Up and took a much needed shower.\u00a0 Highlight of the day was holding a plank for a whole minute! WHOO! That&#8217;s my first minute long plank and I&#8217;m feeling very smug.<\/p>\n<p>I better watch out because I just might get addicted to lifting after my runs!\u00a0 It makes me feel a little more balanced and loads better with workout highs!\u00a0 Whooo!<\/p>\n<p>My <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Heart Rate Monitor'>HRM<\/abbr> is still bunk but I&#8217;m taking Kim&#8217;s advice and looking for a new battery for it.\u00a0 Needing a new battery totally makes sense!\u00a0 Hopefully that will work otherwise I may have to start the mourning process.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch was late today because Scott had some conference calls going on.\u00a0 By the time we got to eat, we were hungry and grumpy!\u00a0 Smoothie today was glorious though:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1C Carrot juice<\/li>\n<li>1C Unsweetened Cranberry-Pom<\/li>\n<li>1C Water<\/li>\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<li>Frozen blueberries<\/li>\n<li>Frozen pineapple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Delish! But apparently I forgot to take a pic of it! Sorry &#8217;bout that gang.\u00a0 It was purple and beautis!<\/p>\n<p>Rumors of an Apple Tablet coming out were true and Apple released it&#8217;s new iPad today.\u00a0 Yes, iPad.\u00a0 Back in the day I used to have major Apple love and now I do not.\u00a0 However if I was on my own without a Scotty in my life, I would be using Apple (if I could afford it!) because I don&#8217;t know diddley about Linux and I don&#8217;t trust Windows.\u00a0 Anyway, I&#8217;m not really sure what the point is behind this whole tablet business.\u00a0 A cross between an iPhone and a laptop? First impressions are not so great.\u00a0 Maybe it will grow on me and I&#8217;ll appreciate it more.\u00a0 Right now, I&#8217;ll just love on my iPhone because as much as Apple annoys me, I do lurve my iPhone!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_soup.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10438\" title=\"Soup \" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_soup-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_soup-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_soup.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dinner today was soup!\u00a0 Kale and white bean soup with some lentils and a little extra veggie thrown in for good measure!\u00a0 I also added in some kielbasa for Scotts.\u00a0 I picked around that though as I was not in a kielbasa mood.\u00a0 I know shocking!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicken stock base<\/li>\n<li>Onions<\/li>\n<li>Carrot<\/li>\n<li>White beans (2 cans)<\/li>\n<li>1\/3C green lentils (uncooked)<\/li>\n<li>2 huge bunches of kale chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 can of diced tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Various seasonings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pure comfort food dinner and it was awesome.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10437\" title=\"Soup and bread \" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_dinner-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_dinner-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-27-10_dinner.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bringing back the cheesy white bread!\u00a0 Some asiago bread on the side which hit the spot.\u00a0 Alright gang, I&#8217;m out!
