Hi guys! Where would you like to start off… yesterday, or today?
I think yesterday sounds pretty darn good so…
FITNESS
Yesterday I totally rocked it at the gym after work.
I did 36.33 minutes on the cybex elliptical trainer at level 16. Why the weird time? Well, I was going to do a full hour but I was a little pressed for time. I quit after I burnt exactly 500 calories.
After my fitness I ate both my servings of fruit. Grapes and blueberries.
Yes that is an A LOT of blueberries.
And yes… I ate them directly out of the colander.
That’s called class.
DINNER [& SUCH]
My Mom and I drove up to Gilroy to test out the commuter traffic around 5:30pm. The new job I was offered is in Gilroy and she thought it would be a good idea to test out the commute.
Gosh, Mom’s are so smart.
Gilroy is about 35 minutes north of us in Salinas so it’s definitely a little bit of a drive but the traffic wasn’t bad at all.
What else is in Gilroy… the Outlet Mall!!! This was just the excuse for a little shopping and dinner.
We were both super hungry after a little shopping so we decided to be un-picky and eat at the closest restaurant… Applebees.
We did the 2 for 20 deal and split tasty onion rings dipped in ranch dressing and honey bbq sauce.
Then for dinner I had the 7oz sirloin with seasonal veggies.
You know what, this sirloin was really really good.
I was a little impressed. And by a little, I mean a lot.
Just in case you’re wondering… we ate all the onion rings.
BREAKFAST [get all those healthy guidelines]
2 eggs fried in evoo with salt, pepper and dill. Hot magic lemon water and coffee with flax milk added.
Yesterday I did a pretty good job on my healthy guidelines. But I didn’t get any of my healthy fats or my hot magic lemon water so I wanted to make sure I got them today.
HEALTHY GUIDELINE CHECKS:
- healthy fats- evoo
- healthy fats- flax milk
- fruit- grapes
- hot magic lemon water
Now all I have left is:
- fruit
- tea
- tea
- tea
- exercise
- 8 8oz glasses of water
1/2 MARATHON FALL!
I ran 7 miles in Tahoe last weekend with Max. It was HARD, hello altitude. But I did it.
I’ve got 5 more weeks of training and I’m feelin’ great.
Max and I are doing this 1/2 together while my family vacations in Oregon.
SunRiver is a vacation resort just south of Bend, OR. Running a half is a pretty great way to kick off vacation.
I also registered for this half that is 4ish weeks after the SunRiver one.
My good friend Sonia who blogs at The Mexigarian is doing this one and I really wanted to run it with her. We both run really slow and I think we’ll be great running buddies.
Pretty exciting!!! My fall has turned into 1/2 Marathon season.
TELL ME ABOUT YOU!!! I WANT TO KNOW…
WHAT RACES ARE YOU RUNNING THIS FALL?
2 1/2 Marathons baby!
WHAT HEALTHY FOOD DO YOU HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING?
Probably… the fruit. I have to make a really big conscious effort to get my 2 servings.
IF YOU COULD GO ON A SAFARI WHAT ANIMAL WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE?
Giraffes!!!
DO YOU DRINK AFTER DINNER COFFEE?
Yes!!! I love it and think it’s the best idea. It tastes so wonderful after all the dinner flavors.
