The Last 36 hours

January 11, 2010

When I got home from marathon spectating, the numbness wore off and the lack of sleep hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt like a zombie!

The hunger also hit me hard. Adam was so sweet and offered to make me lunch! He also took pictures of it for me.

I had some of this delicious V8 Butternut Squash soup. So delicious!

Along with a grilled cheese using whole wheat bread and reduced fat provolone!

I then passed out on the couch. I woke up a couple of times to find that he had put Friends(my favorite show ever) on for me before he went to get work done at a coffee shop. I slept for three hours!

I woke up already ready for something else. I knew with my increased exercise, lack of sleep, and the cold weather I was really risking a cold(I can already feel one slowly brewing..eek.) I decided to pull out the big guns with a green smoothie.

I blended;

-Handful of spinach

-Peaches

-Mangoes

-Plain yogurt

-Nonfat Milk

-Amazing Meal

Take that sickness, in your face! Or..please go away?

Anyways, Adam stopped at Publix on his way home and made me a delicious meal!

Mashed sweet potatoes, organic chicken(thanks babe!!) with a blue cheese, spinach, onion, and mustard topping as well as a lot of fresh green beans! Yum!

I ate with a little cranberry H2O.

I slept for about nine much-needed hours and woke up ready to eat a delicious breakfast.

I know this looks boring but I LOVE cereal!

I mixed some Post banana nut cereal with some Kashi warm cinnamon heart to heart. They were SO delicious together! I also broke up this large banana into the mix. Yum!

Lunch was a whole wheat pita toasted and then stuffed with Sabras roasted red pepper hummus, fresh broccoli, carrots, spring mix, one slice of reduced fat provolone and balsamic. Yummm!

With sweet potato circles on the side. I find that when they are just cut in circles, they crisp a little better.

These are so delicious. I just mixed a little EVOO with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little kosher salt and mixed all of the sweet potato circles in the mix. Then baked at 400 for about 45 minutes. I would try 375 next time, but they were yummy!

After I digested I head out for my two miles on the plan for today. I tried to bring Leo with me, but he made it about a quarter of a mile and then had enough, I brought him back to the apartment and finished the rest of my run. It went really well, I felt great!

When I got home I made a light green monster? Although I did not have anymore spinach. :( Grocery run tomorrow! It’s amazing how fast our fridge empties.

We were seriously lacking groceries so we broke this out for dinner. Adam bought it last week because we had a coupon.

I checked the stats and while nutritionally it seemed not too bad, the ingredients list left me disappointed. High fructose corn syrup? Seriously? We agreed we wouldn’t be buying this again!

Our appetizer was half of this bag of edamame steamed, and then sprinkled with kosher salt.

I added the rest of our fresh broccoli into the pan to add a little freshness and bulk it up some.

This was my bowl.

After I ate, I headed out for girl’s night at my former roommate and best friend, Mandy’s house. Mandy loves chocolate and I was having a serious sweet craving. I texted Mandy to see if I needed to eat dessert before and this is pretty much how it went:

Me- Is there going to be chocolate tonight?? ;) ;)

Mandy- It’s Mandy!! :)

In a very, duh Katy kind of fashion. I can always count on her to provide the chocolate!

We baked up a box of Ghiradelli boxed brownies, oh yeah..the good stuff! :)

With a nice cold glass of milk! Mmmm..I also had another small piece. :)

I am now home about to crawl and bed and continue on with “New Moon”. I am more then half-way done and can’t wait to finish! I have already seen the movie so I can’t wait to get to Eclipse. I also have so many other books I cannot wait to read!

Oh and one important note..I forgot to mention that the Oikos giveaway  is open to U.S. residents ONLY! I am SO sorry to my international friends! :( I just realized I forgot to put that. If you have yet to enter, head on over to the giveaway! I am extending it until Wednesday to give you extra time to enter!

Have a great night!

Katy

    I always wish I had a dog to take running, but mine can’t make it very far either!
