Good morning! Brian and I started the morning out right with a mid-week training run. I'm pretty proud of us, we got up at 6am and were on the road by 6:15. It was only 25* outside!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely frigid at first, but we got used to it quickly after we started our run. We did a 1/2 mile warm-up, 1 mile run at an easy 10-minute pace, and 1/2 mile cool-down. It was only a 28 minute workout but it felt great to get up so early and I was completely awake and refreshed by the time we got home.
For breakfast I made a bowl of oats using 1 cup prepared rolled oats, splash of vanilla soymilk, spoonful of flax seeds, 1 medium banana and a couple of spoonfuls of pom seeds. Yum! This meal was so satisfying and tasty that it actually evoked the food dance out of me...that only happens with really good food. :)
I'm prepared for another busy day at the office with a filling lunch. I made a lima bean + corn salad that I found in a Self magazine a couple of months ago. I was unsure of it at first but its actually really good and completely filling...I've made it several times since.
Ingredients:
And for a snack I packed a Larabar, cherry pie flavor.
Ok, time to get tons of work done! It may be a late dinner post tonight.... I'm hoping to finish work by 8:00 so that I can go to CLAW, the Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers. There's a match tonight and it is so much fun to watch! Plus, my friend Krisin aka TinkerHell is one of the defending champions... :) You should check out their blog if you have time...very entertaining!
