Hi guys!\u00a0 Check out my snacky-poo last night.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Two lovely slices of chocolate zucchini bread and a glass of white.\u00a0 This zucchini bread was A-freaking-mazing!\u00a0 It was so dense with plenty of chocolaty goodness.\u00a0 I didn’t add a ton of sugar because I don’t care for super sweet things but I have to say I was pretty pleased with how this turned out.\u00a0 It had just the right amount of sweetness for me.\u00a0 If you don’t think I ate that whole plate, then you’d be wrong. I totally kicked it!\u00a0 Then I got sucked into watching Paranormal State which is the most ridiculous show.\u00a0 I can get down with paranormal phenomenon but dang this show looks so bogus and the “investigators” drive me crazy.\u00a0 I ended up going to bed way past this grandma’s bedtime.<\/p>\n

It was a little slow getting up this morning.\u00a0 I forgot that it’s been a while since I’ve had wine the night before a run!\u00a0 Sounds silly but since I started training for my upcoming half, wine before runs has stopped due to scheduling and training.\u00a0 I puttered around for a bit waiting for it to be light enough that I could head out.\u00a0 Four miles done, slow pace, but done!<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I have to say that zucchini bread was amazing for fuel!\u00a0 I normally eat a small piece of a bar or 1\/2 a bar before heading out for my morning runs.\u00a0 I didn’t even really need anything this morning and only had a bite of a bar.\u00a0 Typcially after my runs I start getting hungry while out walking Rocky and my bellah starts growling.<\/p>\n

Not today.<\/p>\n

In fact it was long after I stretched and showered before breakfast even occurred to me.\u00a0 Holy crap maybe this super bread will be my bedtime snack before long runs because it seriously held me over for a long time.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Gotta get in my peaches while I still can!\u00a0 Peach oats and coffee, glorious!<\/p>\n

I putzed around in the office for a minute and then it was off to get mah hairs cut.\u00a0 In and out quickly since I don’t get my hair styled while there, just a wash and cut.\u00a0 I scheduled my next appointment and was off to the seamstress to get all my pants altered.<\/p>\n

Getting pants altered is not a cheap task!\u00a0 To their credit I did take in 7 pairs of pants; 3 dress, 4 jeans.\u00a0 Basically all of my pants.\u00a0 Now I can check that off my to-do list!<\/p>\n

When we got back home, I made us some lunch because both of us were a starving!<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/p>\n
