Hi guys!\u00a0 I got so wrapped up in my to-do list today that I didn’t have time to post!\u00a0 Recapping, last night saw a little of this:<\/p>\n

\"glass

glass #1<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Random

Random dessert<\/p><\/div>\n

That first glass of wine was huge.\u00a0 Somehow there was some miscommunication between Scott and I and he ended up pouring a huge glass of wine.\u00a0 I sipped on that while we watched some TV.\u00a0 Then it was time for dessert!\u00a0 Another glass of wine was involved but only containing a splash of wine, not even 1\/4C.\u00a0 The rest is seltzer.\u00a0 And some ice cream!\u00a0 It’s been ages since I’ve had ice cream.\u00a0 Three wee scoops of vanilla topped with melted PB<\/abbr> and a few chocolate chips.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 Scott topped his with melted dark chocolate PB<\/abbr> and I must tell you not to heat that stuff for more than 45seconds in the microwave.\u00a0 Otherwise it will burn, smoke up the house, and smell like burnt popcorn.\u00a0 I was willing to sacrifice my kitchen to present you with this PSA. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Then I went to bed way too late!\u00a0 Actually I think it was 10pm but goodness it felt later.\u00a0 I got up this morning at 7:30 and this time change is still kicking my butt.\u00a0 I’m going to have to figure something out!\u00a0 I took care of Rocky and noticed how much cooler it was this morning as opposed to the last few days.\u00a0 Booo\u00a0 After he was taken care of it was time for breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Wakeup

Wakeup call <\/p><\/div>\n

Coffee was amazing this morning and totally hit the spot.\u00a0 I also had a small yogurt mess totally forgetting to add in the banana!\u00a0 But it’s 2% fage with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ground flax<\/li>\n
  • Vanilla whey powder<\/li>\n
  • Cranberries<\/li>\n
  • Protein granola, bear naked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    After breakfast I did some stuff on my to-do list and tried to organize my desk which I was only mildly successful at.\u00a0 I made some lunch and took the easy route, leftovers!<\/p>\n

    \"tart

    tart lunch <\/p><\/div>\n

    In that bowl is leftover zucchini and sauerkraut. I did not eat that entire bowl. ;)\u00a0 It was just easier to dump everything in that and heat it up.\u00a0 I ate all my zucchini (about 5 stripes) and a few bites of kraut.\u00a0 In the middle is a green apple and on the side is multigrain bread with some hummus on top.\u00a0 I love bread + hummus, such a great combo!<\/p>\n

    After lunch it was time to run Rocky out for a quick walk and come home to tackle part of this:<\/p>\n

    \"Vegan

    Vegan Shred <\/p><\/div>\n

    One of the packages I got last week contained my two new cookbooks and the 30day shred DVD.\u00a0 No I’m not going vegan but am looking to widen my recipe knowledge and try some other things out. :D\u00a0 I plopped in the DVD and it was level 1 today.\u00a0 It wasn’t bad and the 20 minutes goes fast.\u00a0 It sort of felt like that 20minutes was the warmup though.\u00a0 So when it was over and done with I sort of felt unbalanaced, like, “Oh wait, that’s it?”.\u00a0 It will take some getting used to.<\/p>\n

    After working out, I hit the shower and did some more work on my 1\/2 training program.\u00a0 It’s coming together.\u00a0 I did a combo of Hal Higdon’s program and the one from Runner’s World.\u00a0 Both had aspects I liked.\u00a0 Hal’s incorporated strength training and RW used speed work.\u00a0 I figured, let’s combine them and see what we get.\u00a0 I would post that but I’m having some issues posting the spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

    I’ve got 8 weeks till the 1\/2 and holy hell I’m silently freaking out.\u00a0 That seems short and each Sunday I’m upping my mileage by another mile.\u00a0 That seems like a lot!\u00a0 And I won’t run 13 miles till the 1\/2, my last long run being 10 miles.\u00a0 EEEP!\u00a0 So yeah, I’m a bit nervous.\u00a0 Goodness.<\/p>\n

    \"cha-cha

    cha-cha change<\/p><\/div>\n

    Another package I got in the mail was some change!\u00a0 And a few other surprises that I’ll reveal to you soon.<\/p>\n

    I was deciding on what to make for dinner when I remembered that I had a package of udon noodles that I bought from WF<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

    \"my

    my kind of ingredient list <\/p><\/div>\n

    I decided to let the udon noodle dish I get at Akai Hana be my inspiration except mine has no chicken, just veggies.\u00a0 I was majorly craving some veg and since it’s birthday week, I can have whatever I want. :D<\/p>\n

    \"old

    old grapes <\/p><\/div>\n

    While I prepped, I snacked on some raisins.<\/p>\n

    \"best

    best noodle dish that I've made <\/p><\/div>\n

    Ready for the list of veggies?<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Onions<\/li>\n
    • Green pepper<\/li>\n
    • Carrots<\/li>\n
    • Cabbage<\/li>\n
    • Broccoli<\/li>\n
    • Great Northern beans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      I realize the beans aren’t veggies. ;)\u00a0 Just added in for some more volume and the onions, green peppers, and carrots, I chopped up into bite size pieces.\u00a0 I tossed them with some olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and curry powder, roasted them at 400 for about 10 minutes or so.\u00a0 The cabbage I thinly sliced and sauteed up in some olive oil.\u00a0 I blanched the broccoli and added that to the cabbage.\u00a0 I added in the beans and the roasted veggies.\u00a0 Mixed in some new teriyaki sauce (new sauce I found and love!) and some chicken broth.<\/p>\n

      Oh my I loved this dish!\u00a0 Well it had sauteed cabbage in it which is a favorite of mine, so that pretty much guarantees I’ll like the dish.\u00a0 It naturally didn’t taste like the restaurant dish but was a nice tribute.\u00a0 It was so good and the udon noodles were soft and so yummy.\u00a0 I couldn’t stop saying how much I loved it!<\/p>\n

      Now I’m off to relax a bit before heading to SF<\/abbr> class, later guys!<\/p>\n
