Hi gang!\u00a0 Last night by the time I hit the couch to watch a bit of TV before bed I was pooped.\u00a0 We watched 2 periods of a Pens game and had a glass of wine with it.<\/p>\n

\"really

really sweet tasting chard <\/p><\/div>\n

And I also munched on a few dark chocolate chips, probably 10.\u00a0 By 11pm I was passing out and headed right up to bed.\u00a0 The wind had picked up considerably by this point and I was hoping it wouldn’t interfere with my sleep!\u00a0 The wind has been crazy here this winter.\u00a0 Thankfully it did not keep me from sleeping and I slept well!<\/p>\n

I got up this morning at 7:30 to snow.\u00a0 Boo!\u00a0 And then it started snowing harder, double boo!\u00a0 I got Rocky taken care of and thankfully he did not dilly dally on his potty run this morning because it was cold and windy outside.\u00a0 I came in and made some oats.\u00a0 YaY oats!<\/p>\n

\"oaty

oaty oats <\/p><\/div>\n

Standard oats with 1 TBSP of ground flax and a small scoop of vanilla whey mixed in.\u00a0 Mix-ins were super simple, cranberries and some dark chocolate PB<\/abbr>.\u00a0 Along with morning coffee which was A-mazing this morning. ;)<\/p>\n

I started planning out some blog stuff because there’s a bunch of things I want to do!\u00a0 And started also looking at training programs because I need to get moving.\u00a0 I’ve decided to just go balls in and sign up for both races.\u00a0 I’m glad I stumbled across the 1\/2 because I knew I did not want to wait until October to run my first one.\u00a0 Hopefully the Oct. one will either be my 2nd or 3rd by that point if I like doing 1\/2s.\u00a0 My goal is to just finish the race and also test the distance running waters.\u00a0 See if it’s something I like and that my body likes.\u00a0 But that means I need to get started training ASAP!\u00a0 So I need to put together a plan (a hybrid of some I’ve seen) and start plotting out my miles and get routes figured out.<\/p>\n

\"lunchie

lunchie <\/p><\/div>\n

Lunch today was easy peasy.\u00a0 I had some curry soy nuggets that I picked up at the grocery store prepared foods section over the weekend.\u00a0 I heated it up and added in some chopped spinach.\u00a0 Stuff it into 1\/2 a wheat pita.\u00a0 In the middle is a sliced pear, leftover bbq chick peas and also a smoothie.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2C orange juice<\/li>\n
  • Frozen mango<\/li>\n
  • Frozen peaches<\/li>\n
  • Frozen blueberries<\/li>\n
  • 1 carrot<\/li>\n
  • 1 kale leaf stemmed<\/li>\n
  • 1 banana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Blended till smooth and it made an amazing smoothie!\u00a0 I’m wondering how to fit these smoothies into my diet.\u00a0 I love them and my body loves them and Scott loves them!\u00a0 I just feel good drinking them, it’s like my soul is smiling. :D\u00a0 However, I’m wondering if it’s adding extra calories and sugars I don’t need.\u00a0 I’m pretty good with making sure I get veggies and fruit in during the day.\u00a0 My smoothies are mostly fruit with an orange juice base.\u00a0 Plus I have fruit at lunch (or at least always try to have fruit at lunch). Would adding a smoothie be too much extra fruit and sugars (from the fruit)?\u00a0 I had thought about making one before my runs in the morning to have as my fuel source.\u00a0 Would that be a better idea?\u00a0 Should I consider a soymilk based one?\u00a0 Mostly I’m just trying to toss around ideas and see how smoothies\/juice can be better incorporated into my diet.<\/p>\n

    Okay guys I have some major stuff that I need to get done on this end so I better get moving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
