Simple

I was feeling sick this morning (sore throat), which I am almost certain I got it from Brian.  It’s not too bad though.  I had a comforting bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.  I had the same thing as yesterday except I used some agave nectar instead of brown sugar!  I love agave nectar.  I’m very glad I bought it!  I also had flaxseed meal, wheat germ, walnuts, cinnamon, and a spoonful of PB like usual.  (481 calories, 16 g fat, 13 g fiber, 16 g protein) 

At the gym today I did 30 minutes of running, 10 minutes on the stairmaster, 10 on the ET, and some pushups, situps, and stretching.  Pretty much the usual workout.  It felt great!  When I came home I had a hard time deciding what to have for lunch with!  I was going to make a “pizza” on a tortilla, or have a wrap or a stir fry, but I wanted PB and J again.  I just thought I should have something different than yesterday, but it’s what I really wanted!  PB and J it was and almost the same as yesterday…PB and blueberry preserves on TJ’s sprouted wheat, which has honey in it (should have checked, but I’m not really worried about it), RED bell pepper, an orange, a kiwi, and plain soy yogurt!  (591 calories, 21 g fat, 16 g fiber, and 24 g protein).  

I don’t know what I will have for dinner yet.  I’m thinking I should just finish up some leftovers, yet I am anxious to try something new!!  Decisions, decisions… Anyway, I’m off to read some nursing stuff!!  

 

Taco salad?

I came home from school today because I have a doctor’s appointment early tomorrow morning, so I got to make my own dinner again!  (I ate a Cherry Pie Larabar about an hour after lunch because I felt like it and knew I wouldn’t make it until 6:30 for dinner!)  Dinner–I had hummus and avocado that needed to get used up, so I kind of made a taco salad, but not really.  I tossed some bagged lettuce into a bowl, added spinach, some baby carrots, cut up plum tomato, cucumber, 1/2 an avocado sliced, all of what remained of my hummus (I’d say about 1/2 cup!), hot sauce!, and salsa!  Very yummy.  I love salsa on my salads  On the side, I had a kiwi and some strawberries.  The strawberries are so nice!  I waited for my food to settle a bit and then set off for the gym to do 30 minutes ET and 20 minutes treadmill.  I ran for about 15 minutes at 6.5 mph, then 8.0 for about 2 minutes?, and then 6.3 at a 4.0 incline, walked 4.0 at 12.0 incline, ran again 6.3 until I reached 2 miles!  Then I cooled down!  (totaled 22 minutes).  I like to watch the distance better than the time though while I run (well more like check it not watch haha).  It seems to be more fun to me.  I injured my ankle a couple months ago, and it is always sore the day after I run but it doesn’t hurt…it’s just stiff.  I have been running a lot more lately in my workouts.  I can’t help it!  I like to run :-/  Came home to another gooey pumpkin muffin with PB and honey.  mmmmm ….Off to write a paper that is due tomorrow.  Only 4 pages and not difficult topic…(what cultures do I subscribe to?)  Okay, cya! …The spinach leaf looks like it’s waving!

 

  

 

  

 

Leftovers

My calves are soooo sore for some reason today, but running and ET don’t bother them, so I did 40 minutes ET and 10 minutes on the treadmill at the gym.  (Before the gym I ate some of my leftover Easter candy…peanut butter egg, jelly beans, and a marshmallow peep).  All were yumm, but not vegan.  For lunch I had some of my hummus and tomato on two slices of Ezekiel bread.  I had more hummus on the side with tomato slices (I just loovve tomatoes!), celery, and carrots.  Plus two kiwis!  :-)  So good, so good.  The picture is incomplete due to my blogging forgetfulness.  Dinner was the exact same thing (pasta with beans, spinach, and broccoli in a tomatoey sauce) as last night for me because I loved it so much, and was feeling lazy to think of something else to make.  It wasn’t really leftovers because I cooked it from the beginning again…just the same thing though.  I’m going to drink some hot chamomile tea and cuddle up with In Defense of Food.  I might get some studying in too for my microbiology test on Tuesday :-(  Oh, and I included a picture of my pumkin muffins!  I just may eat one for snack later
