Hiatus Complete

 

Last week I was feeling sleepy, grumpy and quite frankly, a little dopey.  Hence the appearance of those midgets.

I don’t know if it was the time change, the late night stop at White Castle (first time in my 28 years) on Halloween, or disgusting germs circulating my school…perhaps a combo platter of all three.  I was toast.  But now I’m back and ready to go!

I won’t bore you by catching you up to last week.  It involved lots of food, one run, three yoga sessions and lots of early nights to bed.

Monday:

Breakfast:

AB+J Oats – In the mix:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup each water and almond milk
• 1/2 mashed banana
• pumpkin pie spice
• topped with raspberry fruit spread and almond butter

Snack:  Mini CLIF bar- PB crunch

Lunch:

Morningstar Farms vegan griller burger on a Pepperidge Farm whole wheat Deli Thin (I like these better than Arnold’s Sandwich Thins) with some TJ’s organic ketchup, carrot sticks and hummus and an orange.  Why did I never think to bring a veggie burger to work?  It was awesome!

Snack:

Cinnamon Puffins with almond milk

Dinner:

Oven baked chicken parm and salad.

Last night (I say night because it' was 5 pm, but dark as midnight) was a brisk run. 

Distance:  3.3 miles
Time:  30:27
Avg. Pace:  9:17/mile

I was quite pleased, especially since I walked a few times.  And hooray for a new route.

Speaking of new…

Have you used Gmap Pedometer?  It is fab!  I am usually a big fan of mapmyrun.com, but this is even better!  Check it out!

Have a great Tuesday.  Hooray for Veteran’s Day tomorrow!
