Hello OHCers!\u00a0 Today is such a gorgeous day I can’t stand it.\u00a0 Man but I hope this lasts because I’m over the cold.<\/p>\n

I went to bed a lot later than I had anticipated last night.\u00a0 Scott and I watched a Pens game and it went to shootout.\u00a0 Boo.\u00a0 All evening long I was debating on a snack.\u00a0 I very much needed some PB<\/abbr> in my life but really my brain could not justify a snack.\u00a0 I wasn’t hungry so there was no need for a snack.<\/p>\n

But you know how you keep thinking about something and you can’t stop?\u00a0 Well because I had been thinking about food for hours my stomach started feeling empty.\u00a0 Right, I totally didn’t bring that on myself or anything. :cheesy:\u00a0 I started going over my day and reviewing what I ate.\u00a0 I realized that I only had one fruit today and that was 1\/2 an orange.\u00a0 I could use another fruit serving. Once I figured this out, my snack fell into place.<\/p>\n

\"mmmm\"

mmmm<\/p><\/div>\n

A red delicious with PB<\/abbr>!\u00a0 Also on the plate is some kashi honey sesame crackers, and a bit of pretzel roll for Scott.\u00a0 I ate most of the apple and 3 crackers.\u00a0 I sipped on some seltzer and finished the game out.\u00a0 Perfect snack and I didn’t feel like I mindlessly ate something.\u00a0 Score!\u00a0 This is where keeping track of what I eat comes in so handy! The PB<\/abbr> is melted (I always do that if I’m using it for dipping, I heat it up in the microwave) which is why it looks like a ton in that little bowl.<\/p>\n

Then me and my bed had a serious crash session all night long.<\/p>\n

I got up promptly at 7:30am partly because of my alarm and partly because Rocky was acting like a wanker whining to get up.\u00a0 I took care of him and loved how nice it was outside.\u00a0 Yes it was cool but not cold.\u00a0 I still had to wear long pants and my toboggan for my run but I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n

\"CS\"

CS<\/abbr><\/p><\/div>\n

4.5 miles today with some sprints thrown in.\u00a0 My run was glorious!\u00a0 Yesterday was my off day and normally I’m okay with that but yesterday I felt all blah and gross.\u00a0 I totally spaced and forgot to do my shred.\u00a0 Rocky got two decent walks yesterday but it wasn’t enough to make me feel any better.\u00a0 Today I was just so happy to be exercising and running.\u00a0 I love running in the morning when the day is just getting started and the sun just starts to rise and bathe everything with light.\u00a0 Very peaceful.\u00a0 I was supposed to do my mileage at pace with the sprints thrown in.\u00a0 However, I was feeling awesome and pushed myself just a bit and picked up my pace for the entire run.\u00a0 And I added sprints on top of that.\u00a0 I only ended up doing 3 sprints because I caught a cramp and had to slow down for a bit while it eased up.\u00a0 Since my pace was a bit faster overall, I’m cool with only 3 sprints.<\/p>\n

Drank some CS<\/abbr>, stretched, and hit the shower which was lovely and super hot this morning.\u00a0 Mmmm\u00a0 Then I met my love affair for some breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"love

love you...<\/p><\/div>\n

I was referring to oatbran!\u00a0 Which totally knocked my socks off today it was so damn good.\u00a0 And whatever I did resulted in a crap ton of oatbran this morning.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1\/3C oatbran<\/li>\n
  • 1 huge banana, mashed<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/3C vanilla soymilk<\/li>\n
  • Pinch cinnamon and salt<\/li>\n
  • Small scoop of vanilla whey powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 TBSP of ground flax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    P.S. I add in the flax and whey powder once the oatbran is done cooking.\u00a0 I remove it from the heat and stir those two things in, then I serve it up. :D<\/p>\n

    My mix-ins this morning were cranberries, crushed walnuts, and vanilla almond butter. A ginormous scoop of it. I have no idea how to exist once this stuff is gone.<\/p>\n

    \"breakfast

    breakfast <\/p><\/div>\n

    With coffee that also rocked this morning.\u00a0 I had the best morning!\u00a0 And hello, I totally inhaled that entire bowl of oatbran.\u00a0 Totally for sure. Completely.<\/p>\n

    After breakfast, I leashed up Rocks and we were out the door for his walk in this amazing weather.\u00a0 I probably could have just worn a tee-shirt (yes and pants, jeeze) it was so nice outside.\u00a0 I would have done a longer walk but Rocks was already hot from laying in the sun so he was ready to come home.<\/p>\n

    Did this, that, and the other until it was time for some lunch.\u00a0 I picked up some yummy tomatoes the other day and decided to make a sandwich!<\/p>\n

    \"fail

    fail <\/p><\/div>\n

    Arnold sam-thins, romaine, 2 slices of tomato, banana peppers and some vegenaise on top.<\/p>\n

    A few carrot sticks, and a pickle on the side because today felt like a pickle day.\u00a0 And a red pear in the middle.\u00a0 I took a few bites of my sandwich and realized that I indeed do not like vegenaise.\u00a0 It has a weird potent manufactured aftertaste to it which didn’t sit well with me.\u00a0 And by didn’t sit well, I mean I was unable to eat it.\u00a0 Booo!\u00a0 I so wanted those tomatoes!<\/p>\n

    Clearly, a pear, four carrot sticks, and a sliced pickle do not make a proper lunch.\u00a0 I wanted something quick and tossed a Kashi waffle in the toaster oven.\u00a0 While that was toasting I ate the above three things.\u00a0 And got full.\u00a0 Wait, what?\u00a0 Like actual “full” and not the, “I’m not hungry anymore” kind of feeling.\u00a0 I cleaned up lunch and did the dishes all the while waiting for my brain to realize that I needed something else to eat.\u00a0 Except that didn’t happen and now I’m in here blogging.\u00a0 Oh well, I’m sure that I will get hungry again in no time, at which point I’ll have my waffle.\u00a0 Weird.<\/p>\n

    \"Happy

    Happy St. Patty's Day! <\/p><\/div>\n
