Hi guys!\u00a0 Today has been a whirlwind because I have been doing tons of things all over the house.\u00a0 I am just now sitting down for a second to take a breath (4:30pm).\u00a0 Ever have days where you wish you didn’t have plans so that you could keep going with what you’re currently doing?\u00a0 Yeah, I’m having one of those days today.\u00a0 Wish I didn’t have to stop!\u00a0 Finish time on this post is 6:20pm.\u00a0 Zoinks!<\/p>\n

Last night while Scott and I watched a game, there was a snack!\u00a0 New for us:<\/p>\n

\"dark

dark chocolate<\/p><\/div>\n

Dark chocolate frozen yogurt.\u00a0 Oh man it was so good.\u00a0 I was going to eat it plain and then Scott said, “Hey, I bet some of those dark chocolate chips would be good with it.”<\/p>\n

“Oh I think you’re right!”<\/p>\n

And so I added some to my bowl and then I remembered why I don’t like chocolate chips in ice cream or frozen yogurt.\u00a0 The chocolate chips get cold and thus turning a bit too hard for my liking.\u00a0 Ick.\u00a0 I ate them anyway though. ;)\u00a0 This was the perfect treat!\u00a0 And I was in bed last night by 10pm!!\u00a0 Crazy!<\/p>\n

I got up early this morning intending on a run, however when I took Rocky out this morning, it was so cold.\u00a0 The damp cold that goes right through to your bones.\u00a0 Ewwww I so did not want to run in that.\u00a0\u00a0 I could easily run tomorrow, I told myself.\u00a0 I have so many things to do today, it would be no big deal if I stayed in.<\/p>\n

\"Loved

Loved this today <\/p><\/div>\n

I went back and forth, no lie, for an hour and a 1\/2.\u00a0 I looked at yoga alternatives.\u00a0 I looked but couldn’t find the OnDemand station on my TV.\u00a0 I know but it’s DirectTV and somethings they are very strange with their navigation stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, I was seriously talking myself out of it.\u00a0 What got me out the door finally was that I didn’t know if running + conditioning class tomorrow would be too much for my knee\/IT band.\u00a0 So I ran today.<\/p>\n

Nothing major, just 3.5 miles.\u00a0 I have to build my mileage back up and no sprints or pickups at all.\u00a0 And yes it was miserable outside.\u00a0 And yes I was happy that I ran.\u00a0 I stretched and already knocked out my PT<\/abbr> exercises for the day before my run, which meant that after stretching I could shower.\u00a0 And then put on my glorious robe.\u00a0 Ahhhh bliss.<\/p>\n

I started breakfast because I was starving!\u00a0 Oatbran, hooray!<\/p>\n

\"Pretty

Pretty berry <\/p><\/div>\n

I added a pinch of brown sugar to the oatbran this morning because my bananas are a bit under ripe still.\u00a0 I made berry oatbran with raspberries and blueberries.\u00a0 So good.\u00a0 I also mixed in a bit of vanilla almond butter.\u00a0 I decided to treat myself.\u00a0 The coffee was only so-so and I’m wondering if I put myself on coffee overload.\u00a0 I’ll have to see how tomorrow goes.<\/p>\n

After breakfast I started busting around the house cleaning.\u00a0 I cleaned all the windows in the house, including the sills and the inside part.\u00a0 I did not clean the glass that faces outside, that is saved for another day. After the windows it was time for lunch which was easy, easy.<\/p>\n

\"lunch

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

Salad with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mixed greens<\/li>\n
  • Carrot<\/li>\n
  • Sunflower and pumpkin seeds<\/li>\n
  • Broccoli sprouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Dressed with a bottled Caesar dressing I bought at WF<\/abbr>.\u00a0 It’s made with yogurt and the nutritionals aren’t so bad.\u00a0 An orange in the middle and some sweet and sour vegan nuggets.\u00a0 Mmmmm!<\/p>\n

    After lunch, I cleaned and rearranged our TV room.\u00a0 I needed a change!\u00a0 That room is such a pain in my ass because it’s hard to arrange furniture around it.\u00a0 I won’t go into details partly because I’m tired and partly because I don’t think my explanation would make any sense!\u00a0 Once the finishing touches are made, I’ll take a picture.<\/p>\n

    There was a break in the rain where it was only mist, so I ran Rocky out for a quick walk.\u00a0 When we got back, I pulled some leftovers out of the freezer to heat up and sat down to start this post.<\/p>\n

    WHEW!<\/p>\n

    I was famished by the time we sat down to eat.<\/p>\n

    \"Hit

    Hit the spot <\/p><\/div>\n

    Veggie chili on this rainy gross day.\u00a0 And I also made some cornbread!\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 Which I took out of the oven when it was still slightly undercooked giving it a nice dense texture which tasted amazing.\u00a0 And I used the ground flax + water trick and it worked perfectly.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n

    Now guys I am wiped out.\u00a0 I’m going to read for a bit before heading to SF<\/abbr> class tonight.\u00a0 Hopefully I won’t fall asleep during it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
