\"\"<\/a>I broke several rules all weekend long.\u00a0 Not on purpose but sometimes stuff happens and at some point you just have to go with it and accept the situation.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I broke my own Homespun Sunday rule and went out for breakfast.\u00a0 Yup.<\/p>\n

I was starving after my race yesterday and I was also tired.\u00a0 Once I showered, Scott mentioned going out to breakfast.<\/p>\n

“Oh we haven’t gone out to breakfast in a very long time.”<\/p>\n

“I know, so let’s go!”<\/p>\n

And I agreed.\u00a0 Not only because I love the idea of going out to breakfast but also because I was tired and hungry and quite frankly I wanted someone else to cook for me and bring me copious amounts of food.<\/p>\n

I knew exactly what I wanted and even though I could have made it all myself, I didn’t want to take the time nor make the mess in the kitchen it would require.\u00a0 Totally being honest.\u00a0 So I bundled up (I was still warming back up from a cool race) and off to breakfast we went.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Saturday, I um, didn’t really fuel myself properly for Sunday’s race (more on that in the race recap), so not only was I making up for racing but I also had to play a bit of “catch up” as well.\u00a0 This is my entire breakfast and while I didn’t eat it all, I did eat most of it.<\/p>\n

You can see in the upper left hand corner is a blueberry pancake with a sizable dent in it.\u00a0 I started eating before snagging a picture.\u00a0 I had to get some food in my belly quick.\u00a0 The pancake almost takes up the entire plate, I ate it all.\u00a0 I ate all the potatoes, scrambled eggs, and one sausage link.\u00a0 Four is a bit much even for me.\u00a0 I didn’t eat the English muffin only because I forgot to ask for it unbuttered.\u00a0 The fruit I split with Scott, and I had three cups of coffee with a few glasses of water.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that when I ordered all that food, the server thought that my eyes were bigger than my stomach.\u00a0 I had a small piece of pancake left that I hadn’t got to yet and the server almost whisked my plate away!\u00a0 “You’re done so can I take this away for you?” I had to rescue the little bite from the hovering plate!<\/p>\n

I was an eating machine yesterday.\u00a0 This meal lasted me about two hours.\u00a0 Then I had a protein smoothie with some cheese crackers.<\/p>\n

And then I had some prunes.<\/p>\n

Then I got started on dinner because I wanted to eat some more.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure I could handle the training for and running a marathon.\u00a0 As much as I love to eat, I really don’t enjoy eating all. day. long.\u00a0 I’m serious.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was the first roast dinner of the cooler weather season!\u00a0 Hooray!\u00a0 I made a roast chicken and it was oh so good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was also some mashed potatoes with chives, and roasted carrots and parsnips.\u00a0 I had a wing and a breast on my plate.\u00a0 The chicken and potatoes got topped with gravy.\u00a0 Yum!\u00a0 And then I had more chicken and mash.<\/p>\n

Scott and I watched some ridiculous documentary on TV and sipped on some wine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Estancia Pinot Grigio.\u00a0 Some of it I used to baste the roasting chicken with as well.\u00a0 It was a really nice light white and made for a really good sipping-on-the-couch wine.\u00a0 Then I had a big bowl of SO Delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream and around 10:30, I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer so I hightailed it to bed.<\/p>\n

Did you all have a great weekend?\u00a0 Any fab eats? <\/strong><\/p>\n
