Doing.
This morning I went on a 30-minute run at working pace followed by a 15-minute cool down walk with L. On Monday I typically attend a 60-minute Body Pump class (my favorite!). I finished the day with a 10-minute walk when I returned home.
Eating.
Pre-run I had 1/2 banana, 1/2 mug of black coffee, and 1 pint of water. For breakfast I had this bowl (times 2) of Cheerios mixed with Kellogg's All-Bran and the last of the Post Shredded Wheat (look for a review next week), 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk.
Lunch was a carrot sticks dipped in peanut butter, an Amy's Sonoma veggie burger drizzled in the good stuff (i.e., ketchup), and a bowl of cottage cheese with grape tomatoes and cracked pepper.My afternoon snack was Quaker Honey Nut Oatmeal Squares (yum!) and cocoa-dusted almonds.
Dinner was leftover summer veggie pizza with a homemade whole wheat crust and an arugula salad with dried cranberries, goat cheese, almonds, and dressed with balsamic vinegar and agave nectar.
Dessert was plain Greek yogurt, dark chocolate pudding mousse, and more Quaker Honey Nut Oatmeal Squares.

i love cherry tomatoes in the summer, they just taste so good!
ReplyDeletei love how sweet they are! great mixed in cottage cheese, too.
DeleteThat pizza looks amazing. I know you said you burned the crust, but I totally love it that way!
ReplyDeletewell then it would have been perfect to you!
DeleteI really need to try those almonds! You intrigue me with them.
ReplyDeletegirl almonds are my boyfriend.
DeleteWhen you say "working pace", what does that mean to you? A few notches above comfortable?
ReplyDeletegood question! yes, a few notches above comfortable is right on. i'm huffing and puffing and wanting to slow down. heart rate up. this is very different from the pace i do for long runs, where i'm comfortable the whole (well most) of the whole time.
DeleteI should probably try carrots dipped in peanut butter. Looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteyou should definitely try this combo!
DeleteLove it! I love the idea of mixing cereal and almonds as a snack. I love those oatmeal squares too but they're too sugary for me to have a whole bowl. Some thrown in with some nuts would be the perfect snackeroo!
ReplyDeletei love the added protein and i love a mix of flavors like this (in case you haven't noticed with all of my cereal mixing...)
