Hi guys!\u00a0 Last night Scott and I chilled on the couch watching some more Planet Earth (we’ve been renting the series from Netflix).\u00a0 While chilling we each had a glass of red and some dark chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Part 2<\/p><\/div>\n

Ghirardelli\u00a0 60% dark chocolate chips are my favorite things ever.\u00a0 They are the perfect “dessert” for me.\u00a0 It’s chocolate but not overly sweet chocolate.\u00a0 And it’s easy to portion control with them, I just pour them in a little bowl and go on my way.\u00a0 I probably had about 10 of them and that was plenty.\u00a0 I was passing out and headed up to bed around 11ish last night.<\/p>\n

I woke up at 7:30, thanks to a very anxious dog who felt the need to get the day started already. *groan*\u00a0 I ran him outside and holy cow it was cold.\u00a0 And damn windy.\u00a0 Grrrr!\u00a0 I am starting to loath this weather and it definitely didn’t make me want to get out and run.\u00a0 I literally debated with myself for about 45 minutes if I was going to run or not.\u00a0 I didn’t feel like running in the cold and wind.\u00a0 I simply just didn’t want to go.<\/p>\n

But I went.\u00a0 I informed myself that I needed to get this run in especially since I didn’t run on Friday.\u00a0 And it’s the first day of the month and I didn’t want to start off with an empty spot on my calendar.\u00a0 I have these cheapy calendar on the fridge where after my runs, I record my stats.\u00a0 If I don’t run on a day, I write down why.\u00a0 But I didn’t want to start the month off with an entry that said, “lazy”.\u00a0 So I ran.\u00a0 Before heading out I had 1\/2 a honey graham Z bar.<\/p>\n

\"1\/2

1\/2 <\/p><\/div>\n

I tried a small piece of Pro Bar first but didn’t like it.\u00a0 It had the same taste\/consistency of a\u00a0 larabar which I despise.\u00a0 So I moved to the Z bar.<\/p>\n

I did extra today and I’m hoping that it bumped me to over 5 miles.\u00a0 I was glad to be home though!\u00a0 And even though I was proud of myself and glad I ran, coming home was the best part. :p\u00a0 I had some CS<\/abbr> and did some yoga stretches and was ready to relax.<\/p>\n

\"only

only 1\/2 again <\/p><\/div>\n

I poured a mug of coffee and sat down with a peach fage topped with a small bit of granola.\u00a0 It wasn’t until I was taking the picture I realized this was total fage and not 2%.\u00a0 Ack!\u00a0 So I only had half the container and the rest I gave to Scott when he woke up.\u00a0 I was so looking forward to coffee this morning but I must say it was a tad bitter.\u00a0 I think it had been sitting in the pot too long.\u00a0 Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Scott and I chatted about what to do for Sunday breakfast.\u00a0 Neither of us wanted anything heavy but something on the light side.\u00a0 I finally decided on a dish.<\/p>\n

\"green

green monster time <\/p><\/div>\n

Egg in a hole for each of us.\u00a0 Have you all seen these before?\u00a0 You butter each side of a slice of bread and make a hole in the center.\u00a0 Grill it in a skillet like you would a grilled cheese, except you add an egg to the hole and cook it that way.\u00a0 We had those with falx and fiber bread, one each.\u00a0 Plus the grilled hole.\u00a0 Feel free to make jokes at will.\u00a0 In the middle was a tangerine for Scott and a green pear for me.\u00a0 And then I made us a smoothie.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 cups of orange juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 medium carrot cubed into 1inch pieces<\/li>\n
  • 1 medium kale leaf, stem removed<\/li>\n
  • Frozen mango<\/li>\n
  • 1 banana<\/li>\n
  • Frozen pineapple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Blend, blend, blend until smooth and the carrot and kale are very tiny.\u00a0 It made a green monster today.\u00a0 It was so yummy!\u00a0 The banana is a great sweetener and thickener.\u00a0 It dominates and you don’t taste the carrot or kale at all.\u00a0 Both Scott and I loved it and discussed having them start to appear in our diet more.\u00a0 It’s a great way to get in fruit and veggie servings.\u00a0 Although if I’m going to be making smoothies more often, perhaps it’s Vit-A mix time. ;)<\/p>\n

    Now I have to brave the cold one more time to walk Rocks then it’s back in my gnome jammies and hanging for the rest of the day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
