Falling off the bandwagon...

I attempted the green smoothie again and it came out brown and chocolaty even though I added way more spinach and way more cherries since I added too much protein powder again! I'll get it one of these times!

One of my faves

Lunch this week was a return to the yummy hummus, red pepper, tomato, and cucumber wheat thin sammich, a couple of hb eggs, and granola. Snacks are always fruit or veggies. I have really enjoyed my lunches lately since the weather has been so perfect I have the opportunity to sit out on the loading dock and enjoy outside. I have mentioned before that there are zero windows to even know what the time or forecast is like. Thankfully, I usually have my phone to avoid those creepy awkward moments when the little old guy from the mail room sits across from me mute and stares for 15 minutes.... eep.

Sharing Rachel's sentiments, I'm having an off week. I feel like I have taken a motivational step backwards this week with exercise, running, and even work. I think it's mostly in relation to all of the BBQ up to my eyelids and laziness I am guilty of this past weekend... My run last night was weak. I felt like a beginner again. So thirsty at mile 2 and feeling a bit worn out.

On a happier note - Other than strawberries, pears are one of my absolute favorite fruits. It is now pear season and they have been on sale at Publix for $1.29/lb for the past three weeks. Score for me!

Dinners have been protein shakes or a quick veggie plate to tie me over as I've been getting in late this week and I don't want to eat heavy after 8p.

Tonight's was a Green Giant rice pilaf with some added diced red pepper and a handful of spinach and a crap load of  Sriracha. Always tasty!

I have discovered many new blogs for runners and healthy living cohorts like myself this past week or two. There are quite a few in the Tampa area, which I hope to meet sometime in the future.
My blog itself is still very new, so I have a long way to go. I will get an About Me page with some fun tidbits up soon. Also, I added a Daily Mile tracker, which gives me a little boost of confidence every time I see it go up!

And now I'm off to the bowling alley for league night and to see friends!
