Banana Pancake Fail
Do you ever have one of those work days that just drags on and on? Yeah, today was that day for me. And all day I was actually looking forward to my trip the gym after work. How strange is that? Two years ago I never in a million years would have thought I would be the kind of person that actually *needed* workout time during my day. I look at my workouts as a way to de-stress and sort of unwind, however challenging they may be. I feel really great afterward, and I always feel like I’ve accomplished something. My workout, and de-stresser for today was a five mile…

A Summery Dinner
Look what I finally picked up today!! Caitlin‘s book! I’m soooo excited! I love the whole idea behind Operation Beautiful. You can read more about it on the website. I think this book may help me, actually, because I know I’m guilty of “fat talk” every once in a while (what girl isn’t) because I’ve struggled with a negative self-image for most of my life. I’m slowly learning how to ban fat talk, but it is difficult, I will admit. Anyway, I can’t wait to read the book. 🙂 Since I’m still pretty low on food due to lack of groceries, I had oatmeal this morning. Never a bad thing.…

Hip Update
Tuesday is almost over. One day closer to Friday, and that’s a good thing! This blog post is probably going to be all over the place so bear with me. This morning I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast because I’m running out of food and haven’t been to the grocery store in ages. I wanted a smoothie but had no bananas or frozen fruit. Cereal it is! Just a bowl of Kashi H2H cinnamon + Special K Protein, almond milk, with a dab of almond butter and a few mini morsels. Pretty tasty. Not quite as filling as a smoothie though. Lunch was a bowl of one of…

Shiratake, Inception and Hummus To-Go
Oh finally it is the weekend. Thank goodness. I was starting to feel like the workday would never end. 🙁 I’m so glad to be home! I have an exciting weekend coming up! But lets rewind a bit to Thursday. Last night I came home from work to make a quick and easy dinner. I had previously picked up some Tofu Shiratake Noodles to try! Hungry Girl raves about these because they are so low calorie and apparently a great substitute for pasta, so I wanted to see what the big fuss was about. I was shocked to find the whole bag of noodles was only 40 calories. That made…

Carbo-loading!
In 24 hours I will be in a car headed to Utica, New York to run in my first ever long distance race, the Boilermaker 15K!! I’m super excited, since the race is the biggest 15K, with 13,000 people running! 9.3 miles will also be the most I’ve ever ran at one time. I wanted to get my carbs in tonight, so I made some Ronzoni SmartTaste pasta for dinner! I topped my spaghetti with some roasted red pepper bruschetta, olive oil, oregano, and Parmesan cheese. I also had a slice of my new favorite bread…Country Kitchen Double Fiber Whole Wheat! Tomorrow I’m going to make sure I eat very…
