Hi guys!\u00a0 Thanks for all the responses about my running goals!\u00a0 I’m still thinking about it but leaning towards just going balls in and doing them. :D<\/p>\n

After MT<\/abbr> today we ran to another local Big Bird to pick up some fage and they were out!\u00a0 I’m starting to think it’s some sort of consipiracy.\u00a0 I did pick up a few other things though so the trip wasn’t a waste.\u00a0 We came back and had lunch.<\/p>\n

I took some leftover chicken from the Mexican dish and added it to some spinach, chopped carrot, and some mixed greens.\u00a0 There’s also peas and some sesame sticks added in as well.\u00a0 It was good but nothing to write home about.\u00a0 On the side was a bean salad I picked up at Big Bird which was really good and very sweet.\u00a0 Even though it was yummy, the sweetness has me concerned on how much sugar was used.\u00a0 I’ll finish up the leftovers and then probably will stick with making my own.\u00a0 I’ll talk about the POM tea drink tomorrow! I only had half that bottle.<\/p>\n

After lunch we took Rocky out into the blustery cold for a quick walk.\u00a0 We talked about our Mexican feast and how we felt about it.\u00a0 Neither one of us felt good about eating it.\u00a0 It was good food but didn’t leave us feeling good afterwards, either mentally or physically.\u00a0 I was bloated and felt loaded down.\u00a0 Crossing the line of TMI, it seemed like both of our bodies were trying to expel the food and get rid of everything we ate.\u00a0 Like the result of a sort of detox.\u00a0 Which is interesting because that never happened to us before.\u00a0 It must be a result of how well we are eating now that our bodies recognize whole foods and reject anything that doesn’t seem to fit that standard.\u00a0 Both of us decided we need to stay away from the Mexican and if we want it, make it our selves.\u00a0 Or perhaps expand our tastes and try something a little more higher end(?).<\/p>\n

When we got back home I made us a monster smoothie.\u00a0 I was still feeling a little empty and not satisfied from my lunch, plus the only fruit I had so far was a 1\/2 a banana.\u00a0 I needed more.<\/p>\n

I know it doesn’t look pretty but it was awesome.<\/p>\n
