Hello! I have had such a long day so this will be quick… I’m so ready for bed right now!
Today I worked, came home so I could go running, then went back to work to help with inventory. And it rained pretty much allllllll day here.
I had a purty breakfast though:
fruit salad made up of raspberries, pineapple, and 1 nectarine. topped w/ plain nonfat yogurt (Walmart doesn’t carry my greek yogurt so this is all I have 
) Plus drizzled w/ honey. And 2 slices of crackbread topped w/ honey PB and raspberry preservers. Couldn’t eat all the fruit salad!
This held me over til my Mother Salad at lunch….Today I made a southwest version:
Spinach, bagged lettuce, tomatoes, red/green/yellow peppers, 1/2 avocado, corn, black beans, sabra hummi, and blue tortilla chips for dipping. I also drizzled it w/ some Newman’s Own southwest dressing. I wasn’t too crazy about the dressing though. Not my favorite.
And I had lychees for dessert:
Sooo sweet and juicy.
Mid-afternoon, amongst the craziness that is my work, I snacked on this:
And then I came home and went for a run. Since it was raining, I went to the gym and hopped on the treadmill. I figured since I had to use the treadmill I might as well try and do some speedwork. I didn’t follow any specific routine, but just kind of made it up as I went along.
The first few minutes I warmed up and began a slow jog (4 on the treadmill)
Then it went something like this….
Minute 5: level 4
6: level 5
7: level 4
8:level 6
9: level 4
10: level 7
11: level 4
12: level 5.5
13: level 4.5
14: level 6.5
15: level 4.5
16: level 7.5
17: level 4.5
18: level 8 (only lasted 30 seconds here, I was beat!)
19-22: level 4.5
22-25: cool down
Total distance about 1.7 miles (incl. walking warm up)
Came home and had a coconut water…
And made a smoothie before I went back to work:
1/2 scoop choc protein powder (whey)
chocolate almond milk
1 banana
ice cubes
big handful of spinach
scoop of honey PB
Then when I got to work we had ordered Pizza Hut….at first I had zero appetite (that’s normal after I run) but eventually it came back so I had 1 slice of pizza and a teeny bit of pasta
This plate is actually kinda small so it looks like more than it was. Filled me up though! Now I’m home drinking some Tazo Calm Tea and plotting my dreams 
So much to do before vacation!!!!!!! AH!!!!!!
