No Knee Pain and 5 Foods

I received a lot of requests for my quinoa burgers from 2 nights ago. Sorry! I don’t have a recipe yet cause I wasn’t completely happy with the way these turned out. I promise to share once I get a good recipe!

Thursday WORKOUT:

Ran 5 miles, easy pace.

I was feeling good (aka NO KNEE PAIN!) so a part of me wanted to do some speed work. And then the smarter part of me was like, “Don’t be an idiot. Take it easy until you can run without knee pain for at least a week.” This part of me is definitely the logical half cause it’s not like I’m training for anything yet. No need to rush.

I also baked some Danish Oatmeal Cookies for a coworker who has been helping me out with something.

Five Foods

1. Broccoli.

Yes, you read that correctly. And if you know me, you’ll also know that as a kid I used to ask for broccoli for dessert. Now before you give me weird looks, it was the broccoli from dinner so I was just technically eating more dinner instead of dessert. Okay, now that I read that out loud, I do deserve the weird looks…

That’s broccolini but it’ll do.

2. Frozen yogurt.

Duh. I could eat this every day.

3. A really good salad.

I eat salad for lunch almost every day, and we almost always have one with dinner. I just love me a good salad. None of that iceberg lettuce crap though.

4. Italian food.

LOVE Italian food. I wish it wasn’t so heavy though. Unless of course the heaviness of the food wasn’t directly proportional to the heaviness of my cottage cheese thighs.

There’s pizza under that arugula I swear.
