snackie <\/p><\/div>\n
Last night Scott and I watched the first two periods of the Pens game from Tuesday.\u00a0 Fingers crossed they stay on top.\u00a0 While we watched we snacked on some whole grain fishes and some tea.<\/p>\n
I bought a mammoth box of fishies too!\u00a0 Check it out, that’s my drinking class next to it for size comparison.<\/p>\n

big fishie box <\/p><\/div>\n
I know!\u00a0 It was a little after 10pm and I headed upstairs to bed.\u00a0 I was exhausted and passed out right away.\u00a0 Since I knew it would be cold this morning I slept in a little bit, till 6:30.\u00a0 Living large I know.

I got Rocky outside and he ran, peed, ran back.\u00a0 He is not wasting time staying outside apparently. I got Scott up at 8am and changed into gear to shovel the walks.\u00a0 I layered up and headed out.\u00a0 The snow was very light fluffy snow so it wasn’t a back breaking experience.\u00a0 I can already feel the effects of yoga though!\u00a0 Seriously, shoveling used to kill my back.\u00a0 I would have to stop every few minutes to take a break and stretch my back.\u00a0 With having done the yoga and stretching my back on an almost daily basis, I didn’t even notice any strain on my back while shoveling.\u00a0 It took me an hour and 16 minutes to shovel and I burned 491 cals.\u00a0 Woot!<\/p>\n Now to a sane person, that would have been fine.\u00a0 But when you’re a runner, well sensibilities change a little bit. pic taken after my run <\/p><\/div>\n I layered up.\u00a0 Tights and fleece pants, turtle neck running shirt, plus another shirt, thick socks, jacket and toboggan.\u00a0 Two pairs of gloves.\u00a0 I was only going to do 2.5 miles.\u00a0 Short.\u00a0 It was cold and we had things to do.<\/p>\n Well that changed.\u00a0 I was running and everything was all fine.\u00a0 It felt awesome to be out in the sun and cold doing what I have now come to love.\u00a0 I pushed through and did 3.5 instead of 2.5.\u00a0 My reasoning was because I didn’t run yesterday and tomorrow is supposed to be colder so I might not get to run then.\u00a0 Better do what I can while it’s decent outside, right?<\/p>\n Two times <\/p><\/div>\n I felt so much better after my run!\u00a0 That was exactly what I needed.\u00a0 I need to have that cardio and sense of accomplishment otherwise I get really cranky.\u00a0 After my run I jumped in the shower right away.\u00a0 Sadly no time for yoga because we had to meet friends at 1pm to look at some furniture they are getting rid of.<\/p>\n clify <\/p><\/div>\n Before heading over there, I had 3 apricots and the other half of the maple nut Clif bar.\u00a0 I’m so glad I did because we didn’t leave our friends house till 3ish and both of us were hungry by that point.<\/p>\n We decided it was too cold to go to MT<\/abbr> tonight (it’s in a warehouse and the heat doesn’t get turned on till class starts.\u00a0 So it would be chilly today!) and thought a late lunch would be good.\u00a0 We made it to Panara!\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n my lunch <\/p><\/div>\n However I feel my selection could have been better.\u00a0 I needed to look over the menu and since it was a slow time, I had two cashiers staring me down waiting for my order.\u00a0 I felt rushed.<\/p>\n I decided on tomato soup and grilled chicken caeser.\u00a0 After I ordered it and started eating I realized I should have gone another route.\u00a0 The soup was okay but loaded with cheese croutons.\u00a0 It felt heavy and not in a good way.\u00a0 The caeser salad was nothing but romaine and chicken with dressing.\u00a0 We know that the dressing is loaded with fat and other stuff so yeah bad choice.\u00a0 And I’m not saying that because I think it’s a fatty dish, but more because I was looking for a big salad with lots of veggies and I didn’t get that.\u00a0 So it’s a bad choice because there was no variety in it.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 I was hungry so I ate it all and all the soup minus the croutons.<\/p>\n Scott's lunch <\/p><\/div>\n Scott had the chicken tortilla soup (icky too much cumin) and a chipotle chicken sandwich which was really good and I had three bites of.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 Their chicken is really awesome.\u00a0 Very tender and looks like real chicken, not like a fake piece of chicken you see in fast food salads or sandwiches.\u00a0 I also bought 6 asiago bagels.\u00a0 MMM!\u00a0 Looking forward to those tomorrow.\u00a0 When I placed my order I asked for 1\/2 dozen and I’m hoping the cashier just didn’t hear me when she asked me to repeat how many I wanted.\u00a0 Otherwise, it’s a sad day when someone doesn’t know how much a 1\/2 dozen is.<\/p>\n Now we’re home and chilling.\u00a0 I have no idea what we’re doing about dinner tonight.\u00a0 I feel my lunch was pretty hefty so I’m not really interested in a big dinner.<\/p>\n Dinner post I’m going to talk about some giveaways people have going on, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi guys!\u00a0 Sorry this post is so late but I’ll explain as I go along.

\u00a0 It was -1F at that point.\u00a0 I made a hardy bowl of oats because it had to power me through shoveling the sidewalk\/driveway. Standard oat mix with old fashioned oats and my mix-ins were cranberries, chocolate granola (mine), and a scoop of dark chocolate PB<\/abbr>.\u00a0 I read some blogs and cursed our host because their server was down.\u00a0 Which meant I couldn’t check mail or go to my website.\u00a0 That’s a frustrating thing!<\/p>\n\u00a0 The sun was shining and I was itching for a run.\u00a0 I didn’t run yesterday and while I burned all those cals shoveling, it wasn’t cardio so it didn’t feel the same.\u00a0 I didn’t have a sense of accomplishment with it other than knocking one more chore off my list.\u00a0 I hemmed and hawed over what to do and finally decided to just go run.\u00a0 I strapped on my yaktrax and was out the door.<\/p>\n![\"pic](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/ohc-01-15-09_yaktrax-300x225.jpg\" "\\"ohc-01-15-09_yaktrax\\"")
