Last night, I sipped on some red wine while I listened to Scott’s interview.\u00a0 I kept my glasses super small so I could have more and feel totally indulgent. 
\u00a0 I only got to listen to the first half of the show because my laptop battery was close to dead.\u00a0 I had to get it recharged and that meant no more interview.\u00a0 I chilled on the couch and watched TV.\u00a0 Then I couldn’t ignore my hunger any longer and made a snack!<\/p>\n

Cheese!! A slice of asiago, and small slices of sheep’s milk cheese.\u00a0 Some dried apricots and some cheddar crackers.\u00a0 I was mostly focused on the crackers! :p\u00a0 I had only a few nibbles of cheese, three apricots, and crackers.\u00a0 That is my second glass of wine in the picture.\u00a0 Eventually Scott moseyed into the living room and started stealing my crackers.\u00a0 I had to go get more! Then I crashed out in bed.<\/p>\n
And today is August! My first day of August started off lovely and I mean that with lots of sarcasm.\u00a0 I pulled the creamer out of the fridge and the lid wasn’t secure enough, so when I went to shake it, you got it.\u00a0 Creamer all over me, the floor, and the fridge.\u00a0 As I was cleaning it up, it slipped and I spilled more all over the countertop.<\/p>\n
Lordy!<\/p>\n

I finally got a dang cup of coffee though. \u00a0 I did blog stuff then I got up and started on prep work.\u00a0 I had some pork chops in a beer brine for close to 24 hours.\u00a0 I pulled them out and slapped them with a dry rub.\u00a0 I made some cole slaw as well.\u00a0 Then I made breakfast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All I wanted was a big honkin’ bowl of oats so that’s what I made!\u00a0 With a dollop of rhubarb blueberry sauce, shredded coconut, and some vanilla almond butter.\u00a0 Then I cleaned up the kitchen.\u00a0 By this time, Scott was up so we chatted about our day.\u00a0 Realizing how much we had to do today, it became clear that going to MT<\/abbr> would not happen.\u00a0 I was totally bummed.<\/p>\n I worked on my 1\/2 training schedule while Scott got ready.\u00a0 Then we were out the door!\u00a0 Before we left, I had a few pieces of cantaloupe and a 1\/4 piece of Odwalla chocolate bar.\u00a0 Not pictured because my camera was packed in my purse and we were walking out the door.\u00a0 I should have just made lunch (oh yeah it was totally lunch time by this point) but I wanted to get going already!\u00a0 I had hoped to be out the door way before lunch time but that didn’t happen.<\/p>\n First stop was a sporting goods store so I could look at some running shorts.\u00a0 I also needed more spandex shorts to wear under capris and workout pants.\u00a0 I got both!<\/p>\n More boring errands and then we swung by a running store so I could get new kicks!\u00a0 Unfortunately my experience at this store wasn’t so great. After that it was off to the butcher to pick up stuff for Rocks and finally back home!\u00a0 By the time we were done separating out his stuff it was 4:30pm.\u00a0 I was two seconds away from going postal from hunger.\u00a0 By that point, I figured I would just get dinner started.\u00a0 I had hoped to grill but the weather was not cooperating and it was raining off and on.\u00a0 Plus I didn’t want to take the extra time to heat the grill up!<\/p>\n Dinner time!<\/p>\n A small piece of pork chop which I just cooked in a skillet with a bit of olive oil.<\/p>\n A 1\/2 a salmon burger that I topped with Chipotle BBQ sauce (homemade).<\/p>\n Roasted green beans!\u00a0 Olive oil, buffalo sauce, and garlic powder.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 I was pretty bummed out by that.\u00a0 I did get new shoes, just the new version of the Brooks Adrenalins that I already wear.\u00a0 These are teal and pretty snazzy looking.<\/p>\n![\"Chips](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ohc-08-01-09_chips-300x225.jpg\" "\\"Chips")
While dinner cooked, I munched on some baked salt and pepper chips to quiet my bellah and make it less angry.<\/p>\n![\"Porkchop](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/ohc-08-01-09_porkchop.jpg\" "\\"Porkchop")
