I got up and made something this blog or my bod hasn’t seen in quite some time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Oatbran!\u00a0 Pumpkin oatbran with some blueberries and walnuts tossed in for some fun, along with coffee of course.\u00a0 Then it was off to Muay Thai!\u00a0 I was seriously looking forward to some workout action.\u00a0 After all that heavy Thanksgiving food, I really needed to get a sweat going and help move that stuff along and out of the system.\u00a0 Not that the dinner I created was “bad” but Thanksgiving food does tend to be heavy.<\/p>\n
After MT<\/abbr>, we hit the grocery store for bananas because I was out, then it was home to some lunch because I was starving.<\/p>\n I tried a Morningstar blackbean burger that I topped with just a touch of pepperjack cheese and had with some salsa on the side.\u00a0 This burger was so good!\u00a0 I just loved it.<\/p>\n Some carrots, cucumber, and crackers to have with some hummus.<\/p>\n Smoothie!<\/p>\n Lunch was quick, easy, and filling.\u00a0 I took Rocks for a walk and then showered.<\/p>\n Then I crashed out in bed for a nap. :o\u00a0 I never nap anymore, it messes with my sleep schedule.\u00a0 Yesterday however, I think the busy-ness of the week finally caught up to me because my bod was just crashing.\u00a0 So I chilled it for about an hour or so.<\/p>\n When I got back up, I made some dinner that did not consist of leftovers.\u00a0 Lord I am so over Thanksgiving dinner. :p<\/p>\n There was a fabbo side salad:<\/p>\n Pear balsamic, honey, and olive oil on top.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n And a super lovely risotto on the side.<\/p>\n It’s pink because I used the last of the red wine that was open and needed used up.\u00a0 I wasn’t drinking it, I am wined out!\u00a0 But I wasn’t about to toss it either. Later as a snack, I had two or maybe three, I don’t remember, chocolate mint cookies.<\/p>\n I really needed to keep things clean and simple because the heavy food was getting to me.\u00a0 One way that really helps clean my body out is eating nuts and seeds.\u00a0 For me, they totally wipe out my digestive tract leaving it and me all clean and happy.\u00a0 TMI?\u00a0 I think you can handle it. It wasn’t long before I headed up to bed to read for a bit and crash out early.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n Sunday:<\/strong><\/p>\n I got up early this morning and headed out for my long run.\u00a0 My goal was 7 miles today but I also realized that it had been a while since I’ve done 7 miles so I honestly would take whatever I could get.<\/p>\n I am pleased to tell you that I busted out 7 miles. Rock on!\u00a0 Whoo!\u00a0 After stretching and showering, it was time for some fuel.<\/p>\n I had a decent size bowl of 2% Fage with some homemade granola with some dark chocolate chips on top because they were much needed.<\/p>\n I putzed around on the computer a bit this morning while enjoying some coffee with the last of the actual creamer.\u00a0 Mmmmm!<\/p>\n Scott eventually got up and thank goodness because I was ready for some Sunday breakfast!<\/p>\n Pumpkin-cran cider pancakes which had pumpkin, apple cider, and some cranberry sauce mixed in.<\/p>\n![\"Smoothie,](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/OHC-11-28-09_lunch-300x225.jpg\" "\\"Smoothie,")

\u00a0 So into the risotto it went.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\u00a0 When I need to hit a sort of detox mode, I turn immediately to the nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n
