<\/a><\/p>\nSome malt balls, I had three and totally felt guilty for eating them.\u00a0 I have no idea why!\u00a0 It wasn’t a huge amount, so no big deal.\u00a0 My problem was that I wasn’t hungry, I just had dinner!\u00a0 So I didn’t really need them.\u00a0 I’ve been really great in terms of listening to my body and what it needs\/wants that I got a bit disappointed in myself.\u00a0 It happens to us all right?<\/p>\n
Then I got over myself.\u00a0 Three maltballs, who cares?!\u00a0 Life is short.\u00a0 Live it and love it and so I am. <\/p>\n
I could have easily not even mentioned any of that but part of the whole point of my Daily Eats section is to share my journey to clean eating and healthy balance.\u00a0 I’m only human just like all of you, and we all have our moments.\u00a0 I thought it is only fair to share that with you, being open and honest as I can be. We can’t help each other unless we’re honest right?<\/p>\n
Okay now that is out of the way, moving along.<\/p>\n
I slept till 8am today!\u00a0 \u00a0 I did get to bed late and I don’t see that changing until sometime next week. I’m a slave to the playoff games and for that I’m not apologizing! \u00a0 I was starving this morning when I got up! And freezing, goodness the temperature sure did plummet.<\/p>\n
After feeding my kid, I got breakfast together for Scotts and myself.\u00a0 He had a choice today between oats and oatbran and he picked oatbran.\u00a0 Well technically he said, “Whatever” and then three minutes later said, “Oatbran!”.\u00a0 Ooookay. :p\u00a0 So that’s what we had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Creamy and delicious!\u00a0 Basic mix-ins with a bit of coconut, crushed raw pecans, and some dark chocolate PB<\/abbr>.\u00a0 And morning coffee which was fantastic today.\u00a0 After breakfast I got purty and then it was off to physical therapy.\u00a0 I explained my situation of what happened with my leg.\u00a0 To briefly recap:<\/p>\n Ran last Wednesday, 2.5 miles just fine.\u00a0 Thursday, threw a front kick at MT<\/abbr> and tweaked it a bit. Friday could not run.\u00a0 No lasting pain though just couldn’t run.\u00a0 Ran yesterday and was able to do 2 miles.\u00a0 Thigh\/back of knee still tight but no pain.<\/p>\n Surprisingly this was my last session!\u00a0 He said that I was doing well and it is going to be a slow progress to be 100%.\u00a0 I can run and do what I can do increasing my mileage slowly.\u00a0 He said if things go well I can increase 0.5-1 mile a week.\u00a0 I know my body and that’s a little aggressive of an increase for me so I’m just going to take it very very slow.\u00a0 I’m just happy to be able to run again and not have therapy any more.<\/p>\n Let me be clear that I loved the people at that office and the office itself.\u00a0 Everyone was so nice and it was just a great laid back atmosphere.\u00a0 But I’m glad to not have to go back and hopefully I won’t have to go back any time soon!<\/p>\n After PT<\/abbr>, it was WF<\/abbr> time!\u00a0 My main reason for going was to get some sweet and spicy vegan sushi.\u00a0 I have been dreaming about it since the last time I had it, ages ago!\u00a0 I was so disappointed because there wasn’t any there.\u00a0 Ack!\u00a0 I kindly asked them if they are still making that sushi and they said yes and made me a roll.<\/p>\n Swoon!<\/p>\n I’m thinking that the time might have come for me to switch fully to shopping at WF<\/abbr> and forgetting about Meijer.\u00a0 WF<\/abbr> always has better looking produce and some things I can actually get cheaper.\u00a0 Like canned beans, 365 brand, salt-free for 99cents.\u00a0 I don’t trust Meijer brand beans and Bush’s beans are close to $2 a can.\u00a0 That’s a lot, especially since we eat a ton more beans now.\u00a0 It will take some thinking over and debating, and possibly a test run before I decide fully.<\/p>\n Back home and it was time for lunch!\u00a0 I was so hungry but it was late in the day so I didn’t want a ton of food.<\/p>\n I had some of my sushi, three rolls.<\/p>\n Shrimp spring roll, that I cut into sections and had three sections.\u00a0 It had lettuce, cilantro, and a ton of cellophane noodles.<\/p>\n Some tomato soup with black beans.<\/p>\n Cantaloupe!<\/p>\n The whole party!\u00a0 The cantaloupe, sushi, and spring roll were plenty for me.\u00a0 I only had a few spoonfuls of the soup.\u00a0 The spring roll had a ton of cellophane noodles in it, which I took out.\u00a0 Too much for nothing.\u00a0 No additional flavor, texture, or nutrition so to me it was a waste of an ingredient and calories.\u00a0 I dipped the spring roll in the sweet chili sauce.\u00a0 I asked and Scott asked if they sold the sauce separately so we could buy some but they didn’t understand what we were asking.\u00a0 I’m going to have to track someone down the next time I’m there to see if they do sell the sauce because it’s awesome!\u00a0 Sweet and spicy, leaving my tongue just a bit tingly.\u00a0 Love it!<\/p>\n I cleaned up the kitchen and got some work things out of the way, then it was time to work on today’s post.\u00a0 It was still gloomy gross outside, cold, and totally calling for some tea.<\/p>\n I tried making some jasmine green tea first and it was horrible.\u00a0 I couldn’t stand the taste even after adding a good bit of agave to it.\u00a0 Scott didn’t like it either so I made us some tea that Bryan<\/a> sent us.\u00a0 Score!\u00a0 This was so much better and didn’t need any sweetener at all.\u00a0 Wooo!\u00a0 Thanks Bryan!<\/p>\n I also was looking for an excuse to use my lil’ tea set because it’s so sweet. Eventually I had to start thinking about dinner.\u00a0 Originally I had planned on making some udon noodles but since we ate lunch late (and Scott had 3 slices of pizza!) I realized that would be way too heavy.\u00a0 Instead we had big honkin’ salads!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>A small piece of Scott’s pizza crust to dip in my soup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
