Whew! Feel so much better with another 20 mile ride under my belt. Well, actually it was a 20.28 mile ride but who’s counting? I think Wednesday might become my “long ride” day from here on out because literally every weekend from now until the end of April is booked!

There was cheese, hummus, avocado and tons of veggies on this sandwich. I INHALED it. I also had a coconut water for some electrolyte action.

I need to do some major stretching later. My legs were already pretty sore from all the lunges I did yesterday and now I just feel a tad stiff. I’m going to write for a couple hours now and then head to the studio to work till 6. I see a green monster in my future….need to eat all that spinach I bought earlier in the week!

Enjoy your afternoon!

Happy Humpday!

I’ve got a busy day planned, starting with a bike ride at 10. It’s gorgeous out and I’m finally getting in that long ride!

I had my first “real” bowl of oatmeal in many moons.

I’m calling this “real” oatmeal because I finally restocked my old fashioned oats. I had been using quick oats for the past month or so and it’s just not the same! I need that chew. This bowl contained 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup soymilk, 1/2 cup water, 1 banana, cinnamon, sea salt, pb and bonne maman. After seeing Court’s bowl yesterday with that beautiful jam I knew I needed it!

Coffeeeeeeeeee!

I took a coffee break for awhile but now I am back, full force. March is all about caffeine and wine. Wait, did I say that out loud? This is a healthy living blog…oops. Still, whatever gets the writing done. Deadline is in 3 weeks!

hey!

Trying to be productive!!!! This morning I pulled myself together and had a great two mile run followed by lunges up and down my street, 30 push-ups and 60 crunches. We had to cancel our group workout at the studio because Anna had too many errands to run so I had a makeshift one outside on my own. It was sunny but COLD. Thank goodness for wunder unders (I just like saying the word “wunder under”).

After my workout I grabbed a cappuccino and ate the rest of my breakfast grapefruit. Whole milk makes all the difference in cappuccinos….I shall never go back to anything but!

Lunch was TJ’s tomato soup with an open faced hummus and avocado sandwich + a big ol’ carrot!

I ate the soup too fast and totally scalded my esophagus. Now it feels like I have a bad sore throat.

After lunch was when the daily procrastination set in. I took about four walks downtown, mopped my floors and made applesauce oat bran muffins out of Veganomicon

Done and DONE. 1,000 words just like that. Well, not really just like “that” but you know….

Had a few Morningstar farms buffalo wings (love these) plus a huge spinach salad with hummus, salsa and goat cheddar for dinner—

Plus another crack bar for dessert…..on top of my new book that I got on one of my many walks this afternoon. The girl standing next to me was talking about how her book club was reading it so I figured it was worth a try…plus, it was on clearance for only $8.99!

Guess who’s running a 5K next weekend???!

Gosh, I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!! The race is in Napa at a winery next Saturday morning and my friend Michaela is also running it. I haven’t run in a race in almost a YEAR and I can’t wait. I’m a little worried because Michaela said “its a gorgeous run but very, very, very hilly”…..not quite sure what that means. Hills are not my friends. But I figure I can make them work for 3.1 miles. I need to get new headphones because mine are broken and for the past few months I’ve been listening to music out of one ear only. Hmmm

Okay. I need 1,000 more words to make it to 50,000. It.is.ON.
