my less serious day: jeans so perfect, i cried.

This weekend I was a mad woman on a desperate search for jeans. I traveled to another town, went to five stores, tried on countless pairs, and experienced much disappointment and frustration. Then, it happened. I tried on this pair and stood in the fitting room with tear-filled eyes while marveling at their perfection. I am convinced that finding perfect jeans is a perfectly justified reason to cry.

Wearing.

Perfect jeans: Gap (real straight); top: Old Navy; belt: Banana outlet; necklace: gift from M; shoes: Tsubos.

Doing.

My morning workout was a 30-minute run with L (working pace). Two 10-minute walks also happened today, one after lunch and one when I returned home from the gym in the afternoon. My afternoon workout was a 60-minute cycling class (variety ride).

Eating.


Breakfast was a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original cereal, Cascadian Farm Fruit and Nut Granola, agave nectar, blueberries, and almond milk.


Today's lunchbox held a Lean Cuisine,
 Pink Lady apple, peanuts, and golden raisins.


Dinner was a sweet potato smothered in Greek yogurt and cinnamon and an over-sized spinach salad with tomatoes, carrots, green onions, mushrooms, leftover Brussels sprouts and green beans, and a Morningstar chicken patty.


Dessert was a luxuriously delicious bowl of chocolate pudding and almond butter inspired by Amanda at running with spoons. I died.

  7. @mindrunningwild. for the sweet potato -> i just microwaved it (although i prefer to bake them, i just don't always have the time). wash it, poke some holes in it, and place it on a paper towel in the microwave for 6 minutes, turning halfway. then i just added cinnamon, Greek yogurt, and more cinnamon. yum yum!
