Hi gang! For those who check out my Twitter, I mentioned last night how I was still hungry and wanted something to eat.\u00a0 I realized that this actually wasn’t true and my brain had yet to catch up with my stomach, so I hauled myself off to bed.\u00a0 I read for a while and then I could not keep my eyes open any longer, I had to go to sleep! I was asleep in bed before 10pm. :O Crazy!<\/p>\n

I slept till 7am this morning, so that’s what, a good 9hours and some change.\u00a0 Sweet! Although I did have a bit of a sleep hangover this morning and was stumbling around trying to find my balance.\u00a0 Total sleep bender!<\/p>\n

I was out the door for my run by 7:30 and oh my goodness it was sooo cool I couldn’t believe it!\u00a0 I had to bundle up with pants and a shirt!\u00a0 I ran five miles in 54 minutes which isn’t too shabby.\u00a0 My legs were a bit tired this morning, and my right thigh was a bit slower because yesterday in MT<\/abbr>, it took a nice kick.\u00a0 It’s a little tender. :p<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I slammed a huge glass of CS<\/abbr> and took Rocky for a semi-short walk.\u00a0 I was just too cold to go longer!\u00a0 I even put a sweatshirt on for his walk but brrrrr, chilly!\u00a0 And my ears were starting to hurt, which they have a tendency to do when they get too cold.<\/p>\n

When we got back home, I stretched and took a long glorious hot shower.\u00a0 Then it was time to refuel.\u00a0 Since we are low on yogurt, I did something a little different today.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I decided to have two of the oat bars I made last week.\u00a0 Including the small one I had before my run, that makes 3 oat bars today.\u00a0 I’m addicted! They have everything I need, whole grains from the oats, sweetness and fruit from the cranberries, and protein from the nuts.\u00a0 Plus chocolate, so how could I go wrong?<\/p>\n

I sat down on the couch and checked blogs while watching Food TV and eating.\u00a0 I wasn’t down long though!\u00a0 I got up and got busy in the getting to putting together a veggie chili.\u00a0 I tossed that in the crockpot to simmer and get delicious all day long.<\/p>\n

By this time Scott was up and wondering what the fabbo smell was all about. :lol:\u00a0 Since he was up, I got started on Sunday Breakfast!\u00a0 I went the super easy route today.\u00a0 I was feeling very laid back.<\/p>\n

\"Pancakes<\/a><\/p>\n

Pancakes that I pulled from the freezer and heated up.\u00a0 These were apple cider cornmeal pancakes.\u00a0 With a small dollop of blackberry sauce in the background.<\/p>\n

\"Yogurt,<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the last of the yogurt to make parfaits for us.\u00a0 A huge golden delicious apple, yogurt, a bit of maple syrup, and homemade granola.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n

\"Pancakes,<\/a><\/p>\n

And I had another cup of coffee with breakfast.\u00a0 This was filling and completely satisfying.\u00a0 And having coffee with breakfast made for a nice treat!<\/p>\n

Cleaned up the kitchen and then plopped my butt on the couch to do some blog stuff.\u00a0 After a while I needed to get up and get moving around.\u00a0 Rocky was a little restless, so I took advantage of the day and we went out for another walk.\u00a0 Still chilly!\u00a0 I wore sweats and loved it. :p\u00a0 I love love love fall!\u00a0 I would gladly give up winter and sub in fall weather that whole time.\u00a0 Someone even had a fire going and it smelled awesome.<\/p>\n

When we got back, I fed Rocky and then got started on doing some stuff for dinner.\u00a0 Nothing major since the main dish was made.<\/p>\n

\"Guacamole<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a quick guac to go with the chili.\u00a0 And put out some chips as well.<\/p>\n

\"Veggie<\/a><\/p>\n

Veggie chili!\u00a0 It has four different kinds of peppers and three types of beans.\u00a0 Plus carrots, corn, peas, and onion.\u00a0 So delish!\u00a0 I made a big huge batch of it too.<\/p>\n

I also cooked up some ground beef and pork earlier today.\u00a0 Saved some for Scott to add to his chili and froze the rest for later use.<\/p>\n

\"Chili,<\/p>\n

My portion was meatless and topped with a bit of cheddar cheese.\u00a0 It was so good and totally spicy! :o\u00a0 Scott surprised me by asking for less meat in his next portion. :D<\/p>\n

Just let me be clear, I’m not a vegetarian nor is Scott.\u00a0 And while I only want meat products on occasion and small portions when I do have it, I have no problem at all making a meat dish for my husband.\u00a0 As you have seen me do numerous times.\u00a0 Him wanting to eat less meat is a decision he is coming to on his own and something I support. :)<\/p>\n

After dinner, we cleaned up the kitchen and then I cut Scott’s hair.\u00a0 Now I’m chilling in my jammies!\u00a0 I’m hoping for a glass of wine and a movie in my near future!<\/p>\n

Hope you guys had a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
