I got some decent sleep last night for once. It kept me in a good mood this morning when I woke up but left me feeling…odd? Like you feel good, but then again there’s something there kinda bothering you in the back of your mind? I couldn’t quite shake it all day, but by the time I finished my run this afternoon it wasn’t so bad. I’m feelin’ a bit better now though!
This is kinda how I felt today.
There was a bird in that picture. The beauty flew away before I got a shot.
But this shot, it looked better after I pulled it up on my screen than on my camera. Check out the beams of light!
This morning I had the same bowl of oats as yesterday, minus the cran sauce. It was a tad bit chilly…and will get worse as the week goes on. Lets just say…snow on Friday. Boo.
I worked hard all morning and by around 1045 I was starving so I dug into my lunch. Who cares if it’s not officially 11 and lunch?! I was hungry! I had a Dark Chocolate Dreams banana tortilla wrap. Best thing on the planet.
Paired with some strawberries that were on their last leg…I hate mushy strawberries.
The flowers are abundant all over the desert! Everywhere!!!
I had some carrots and hummus with an orange a few hours later before finally being able to get home to trade in my Jeep…
Good by my little Jeep…helloooooooooooooooo new Dodge Ram. I don’t know how I’m going to squeeze into all my small roads now. Yeesh. It’s going to be interesting this week…
I caught up on a few things upon returning home and discovered I was still hungry. Muffins to the rescue!
I made my way out the door and to the Verizon store to check out the phones (I’m going to be changing plans soon with AT&T buying out T-mobile and I hate AT&T…suggestions on phones?! I’m all for any product reviews!!!) and then finally made my way to the gym. Even though the temps are comfortable outside (mid to low 60’s) it’s blow’n like a banshee and I just couldn’t take it after doing work in it all day. I ended up doing an impromptu speedy-ish workout: 1mi @6.0mph then 3 miles going from 6.8 to 7.5 mph and finishing up at 35 minutes. Felt great!
I wanted to have a new product for dinner but it was so late and I was hungry so I decided to wait until tomorrow and just make something quick to get in my belly!
Egg and hummus sandwich with tomato and lettuce, with a side of strawberries and raspberries. I finished the meal off with an extra sweet treat of a few mango slices and two of these ginger babies. Man do they have a kick to them, but I like it! Yeesh!
I have a few Side Notes I’m working on about Exercise Guilt and Overeating/Binging while Recovering…let me know if there are other topics you’d like me to write about for my series!!!

Looking forward to the side-note on binging during recovery. Finding that all too relevant at the minute... x
Runs are great for working through those nagging things that lurk in the back of our minds!
I just have to tell you that you have changed me into a banana lover with those banana wraps... or as I now call them "banana burritos" haha. But seriously I can't get enough of them. It has gotten to the point that I think I told some of my friends that my future children were going to have to compete with them for my love :D
Sometime you should try toasting it in a frying pan before you eat it- the outside gets all crispy and the banana and peanutbutter melt... sooo good!
Ah thank you for working on those side notes. It is so refreshing to hear other people being able to relate to your struggles and find a way to come out the other side safe and happy!
You inspire us all :-)
Get a droid! I love mine. You can blog and tweet on the go. Divine. Oh and buy verizon stock. It's a good buy. Promise.
I hear you about those gale force winds! My running buddy and I tried to slow our runs down and run for longer yesterday and running against those winds were like running through a wall! But it did dry our sweat! That's good!
I'm addicted to those ginger chews!! I have 6 packages stocked up (I may be a food hoarder...LOL!) in my pantry.
love those ginger chews! i am always shocked when i see them on other blogs b/c i think i'm the only one who's addicted to them!
I just found your blog and I am so excited to read more - I LOVE IT! All of your food looks amazinggg :)
Yuck on the snow forecast, it's supposed to get much colder here tomorrow and Friday too - ick! Just wow on the lunch wrap, I need to try that. Wow on the truck, that's huge! Great eats as usual. :-)
just love the pretty pics! Ginger chews are my fav for traveling, they keep my stomach happy
Hi, I've been reading your blog for a while and have found it to be really helpful. I've been struggling trying to get over an eating disorder. It started (for the second time) about two years ago and I've been working really hard to "stop caring" and "let go" about the anxiety of gaining weight and trying to work out less. With that being said I just finished training and ran my first half marathon. As hard as I keep trying to tell myself I'm getting better and if I eat more to fuel for runs its ok...I still feel guilt if I gain weight. All I want is for the scale to go back down. Its been one month since I've weighed myself because I am trying to just let it go. Any advice on getting over the guilt and moving on would be incredible!! Thank you and thank you for sharing your story!!
That second picture is awesome! So gorgeous. And I love the wrap you had a lunch- I need to try this combo=deliciousness :) Snow?! Ridiculous! Hope the rest of your week is wonderful
I'm also looking forward to the binging while recovering side note.
Would love a side note on clothes and feeling uncomfortable in them due to self-consciousness (if that's applicable to you).
The other anonymous person's post on "letting go" and "not caring" is SOO applicable to me. It's so hard to let go when you want the weight to go down yet you don't want to fall back into old thoughts!! Grrrr......
Loooooove those little ginger things! I eat them all the time :)
I agree...mushy berries are awful! BUT....that truck is bad ass!!!! :)
