Miss my exciting weekend?
- I did a bunch of baking for lots of friends…
- Then spent the night at Bobbi’s and taught her how to roll her own sushi and bake pumpkin scones…
- And went to my first kickboxing class!

My stomach was totally off today, as was my mood. For some reason I was just in a funk, so thank goodness I was away from my parents most of the day or it might have gotten ugly. Haha…I’m feeling better now though!
Lunch wasn’t picture worthy or exciting: Arnold’s Thin w/ regular hummus, an apple, and about a cup of grapes.
See, I told you.
So, I had a 12 miler planned for today, but since my belly was off, along with all of my muscles from kickboxing (you should see me try to sit and stand) and I was tired, I decided to just go out for a 4 miler.
I started at 4, felt good and thought why not do 5? I still felt good, so I went to 6, and then ended up finishing up with EIGHT MILES! I felt pretty good the whole time, taking a much slower pace than I normally do (I’m guessing around 9.30 min/mile since I left my watch at Bobbi’s and just used the total time on my cell phone) and finished in 1hr 16 minutes. Then my belly revolted as soon as I stopped, and I’m sure you can use your imagination to figure out what might have happened next.
I hadn’t anticipated on running that many miles, so after cleaning up you can bet I was hungry! I definitely hadn’t fueled well beforehand, so in comes the food!
I have been wanting fries for about a week, but just hadn’t had the time or opportunity to make them (I almost bought some at In N Out the other day that’s how bad I wanted them!), so tonight was the night for it! I cut up a medium sized russet potato and covered it in a mixture of spices (cumin, garlic, coriander, curry, paprika, chili powder) and baked at 425F for 30 minutes. I mean, look at those…nom!
And to try to get my body back in gear and put some nutrition in it, I made a nice veggie and chickpea side to go with the potatoes!
My mixture included onions, green bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, chickpeas, all cooked and warmed in marinara, and topped with a piece of laughing cow light.
I wanted to use the leftover marinara to dip my potato pieces in, but there was none left, so I did grab some ketchup for dipping materials. I don’t have ketchup that often, was almost weird to taste it again!
Now I’m off to decorate the Christmas Tree with Mom, and hopefully not kill each other in the process. :) (Love you Mom!)

I find not commiting myself to a certain amount of miles makes running farther that much easier.
Love roasted potatoes!!!
Way to go with the run! That dinner sounds absolutely delicious!! Love the seasonings you used!
I love your healthy fries :) You are a better woman than me...I definitely would have gone for In-N-Out ;)

ok, when you get down here we are totally making sushi because i'm afraid to do it on my own.
ok so Homestead is about an hour from miami, so you are welcome to stay here for the race. i also think I'll have some people over after to grill out and chill by the pool
finally...check out my post tomorrow something fun for you
I love your productive weekend! And no joke, kickboxing requires some kind of coordination that I don't have!
Sorry about your stomach issues and funky mood today! I hope tomorrow is better on both accounts.
