What a Life…

Sometimes I wish I could sleep as much as my dog:

I mean, who wouldn’t, right?

I had some random eating today, it was very sporadic, but delicious.  Lets put it this way, half of today’s calories were in chocolate…it was one of those days…

I had a light snack of a fuji apple and a piece of my blackberry wheat bread

And a bit later a Chocolate Pumpkin Muffin

Some pretzel thins a bit later…

Then I took a 2.65 mile walk up to the local Fresh & Easy to finally buy some Greek Yogurt.  Totally on the menu for breakfast tomorrow morning!!!

And a pre run snack of Multi-grain Cheerios and a Gala apple.

I ran a good 5 miles where I was averaging 8.30 a mile.  It’s been a while since I’ve run that hard.  Hopefully Thursday’s 10k Turkey Trot will be just as good, or faster!

I was ravenous for dinner and was excited with my idea.  I used many of the ingredients from last night, but added one extra ingredient, and it came out in a different form: Spaghetti Squash and Chickpea Egg Pancakes!  I mixed together an egg and two whites, broccoli, 1.5C of chickpeas and about 1C of spaghetti squash.  I added garlic and Mrs. Dash to the mix and made three pancakes!

I really enjoyed them!  I grew up eating Egg Fu Yong everyday after we had ham, which are similar to my egg pancakes.  Out Egg Fu Yong always included ham, green onions, green beans, broccoli, bell peppers, and water crests.  I still make them every once in a while sans the ham, but sometimes will include the fake stuff.

I also had some honeydew.  We finally finished off the melon!

And of course I had the same dessert as last night, how could I not?

Now I’m off to walk the puppies with the Pappi and sit back with my tea and a good book! 

Tomorrow is going to be crazy busy though as I’m heading down to Dana Point to pick our race packets, then hook up with my old roommates Dana and Dima for an early Thanksgiving Feast and catching up since it’s been months since we’ve hung out.  Then of course, Thursday is RACE DAY and Vegan Shepherd's Pie for dinner!

PS I was at Target this evening picking up some things and participated in my Operation Beautiful Contribution for the week!  I try to post something every single week!  Oh, but just wait until you see what I’m doing for my 10k race, and as my entry for the Pile On The Miles Challenge hosted by Cailtin and Bobbi!

Pets have quite the life!

I ran out of pretzel thins a few weeks ago and they are literally NOWHERE to be found now! It's so strange.

This is my dogs life: sleep until noon, eat, sleep until 3, go outside and chase squirrels until 5, eat, play inside until 8, go to bed. That would be nice!

I'm still drooling over your baked goods! Good luck with your race tomorrow :)
