Best 20 minutes spent today!
Those 20 minutes? I’ll get to that in a bit! 
For breakfast, I had a boring cup of coffee and bowl of H2H. Sorry for the lack of picture but it wasn’t too exciting.
Today was “Walk to school day” so we joined the students at a park near the school and then some police officers closed the street down so we could all walk to school, in the street, together. It was SO my kind of thing. It’s super important that we promote exercise in all forms. Most of the students that go to this school live very close and their are plenty of crossing guards keeping it safe for them. It helps them with their exercise and also is pretty great for the environment to not be driving every morning when not needed. Love it!
For lunch:
- Mini-Tribe hummus
- Carrots
- Toasted Sandwich Thin
- String Cheese
- Pirate’s booty
I ate all of the carrots, most of the sammie-thin, and the string cheese but I didn’t touch the booty. 
Didn’t mean for it to sound the way but I am not changing it. I ate the pirate’s booty after school. We got out early since it was Wednesday and we get out an hour early on Wednesdays and we didn’t have a meeting(thank goodness). I headed home and immediately got into my gym clothes and left before I was even tempted to sit and not move the rest of the day. I needed to run!
Oh and those twenty minutes?? I RAN 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT! This may not sound like a big deal but I think that’s the longest I have ever ran at once ever. I mean a good, steady run. I didn’t overexert myself(except I did 30 seconds of sprints at the end) and I didn’t jog I stayed 5.0 and over for those 20 minutes and it was awesome. My body is going to be sore tomorrow since I did yoga yesterday as well. Tomorrow will be my rest day. I am super happy with my workout. I ran, on the treadmill, a total of 25 minutes at 1.0% incline since I have been told that’s the closest to actually running outside. That included a 3 minute warm-up and 4 minute warm down. I came in a total of 2.05 miles! It may not be much but I am proud of it.
I am now off to read some blogs and get ready for small group tonight! I’ll try and post later, we are having a “pre-Thanksgiving” dinner. Yummmmmmmm!

I’m BACK!
Sorry friends, I know it’s been a while but my 4 1/2 years in college just culminated to today and it took some time and work to get here. It’s so surreal, and such a relief. I still don’t know exactly what I am going to do, but you will be in on the ride the whole time! Since I missed a couple of days I am going to post pictures of some of the highlights, then I will be back to my normal daily posting self and all will be right with the world! I’ve missed you, friends. Now onto the eats..
Sunday night I made some baked squash.
- I had Adam cut the butternut squash in half, I brushed some EVOO on and some S&P on top then put in the oven to bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
- Then I sauteed onions until they started to turn brown.
- Next, I added a clove of chopped garlic.
- I added in some portobello mushrooms, frozen veggies, spinach, and broccoli and cooked them up.
- Once the spinach is wilted and all the veggies are cooked through, I mixed in a little brown rice and gorgonzola.
- Then I picked some fresh thyme from our “herb garden“(that was the same night Adam surprised me with it!) and sprinkled it on top.
- Baked for another 25 minutes and while the squash didn’t completely soften up, it did fill me up really quickly!
- *Adam’s had some sun-dried tomato chicken sausage in his as well, I just had a few bites of it.
