I am still home in Fort Lauderdale, guess I just love it that much! I really do love being home with my mom, we’re super close.

This morning started out very quickly, I slept until almost 8:30(I had to stay up and finish New Moon!) I then quickly got dressed for my run and then we took Leo to the groomers! We dropped him off for the day and then headed to a park nearby.

I snacked on this Kashi bar for a mini-breakkie.

It stinks not having something like a Garmin around because the trail on the park was really hard to follow and I never knew exactly how far I was going. I decided to use time as my witness.

I definitely did ~5 miles. Four miles takes me about 55 minutes, and I ran a total of 1 hr. 15 minutes with a long warm-up and cool-down. I may have done a little more then five but I’m not sure.

It wasn’t the easiest run, my legs felt SO heavy the whole time. It was also warm!! Not too bad with the breeze but still warmer then I have been running in. Still, I completed five miles!! YAY!!

I forgot to take a picture post five, but I will on my next five miler, Wednesday.

We spotted a Jamba Juice right by the park and decided before we even got the park that post-run fuel would find us there! My mom walked and jogged a bit and I ran! We met up at the car after and headed over. I worked at Jamba Juice summer of my Sophomore year, it’s my absolutely favorite smoothie store and sadly there’s none in Orlando. Boo! I took advantage and was happy to see they had…

OATMEAL!!!! Perfect.

They use organic steel-cut oats, cook it in soymilk and you can pick a fruit topping and it comes with brown sugar CRUMBLES! These were crumbled straight from heaven. Seriously, you know I am just getting used to liking oatmeal and I ate this so quick! The crumbles were like crunchy candy bits in my oatmeal and of course I cannot have oats without some banana. YUM!

I had a “Sunrise Strawberry” on the side. My fave smoothie here, I try and recreate this all the time at home. I had this every shift at work. It’s bananas, strawberries, non-fat yogurt and soymilk. That’s it! It’s very yogurty and yummy.

Perfect post five-mile meal! I am so tempted to get this combo on the way home tomorrow for lunch. I think I will!

Beautiful.

After we ran home, showered and got ready in record speed we got Bo and brought him to the vet. Bo is our golden retriever/chow. We used to be best buds, but then I moved away to college.

He doesn’t usually where shirts, but he has some rough areas he’s been scratching which is why he ended up at the vets in the first place.

Don’t let the smile fool you..

He was scared and spent most the time hiding behind our legs, his usual hiding place.

We picked up my grandma and headed to my favorite place, Whole Foods! I love the Ft.Lauderdale Whole Foods, so big! There’s only one big WF in Orlando, the one near me is tiny!

I hit the hot bar up sooo quick.

Spring mix salad with carrot and chickpeas drizzled with some Annie’s Goddess dressing, teriyaki tofu/rice mix, a little couscous, two baked plaintains, and a roasted corn, squash and peppers mix.

Yum..my favorite lunch spot!

Washed down with a yummy Izze.

We picked up handsome Leo at the groomers then spent some time with my grandfather who is sick. He looks a lot better then he did at Christmas. PTL! I just hope he gets to watch the Daytona race in a couple of weeks, he loves cars and racing.

I decided to stay here tonight instead of driving home. I have had a headache on and off all day and I was exhausted.

This meant, another wonderful home cooked meal!(thanks mom!)

A sausage/beef/turkey burger, yes ALL three, on a whole wheat bun. So yummy! A swiss chard, chopped tomatoes, garlic, shallots sauteed in some EVOO and salt & pepper mix, and mashed potatoes! Mmmm..so comforting and yummy. Love. My mom has blogger approved plates.

We went to run an errand and stopped for a decadent dessert. I LOVE Dairy Queen!!

I got a small blizzard with butterfinger pieces, be still my heart!

Truly decadent, a wonderful treat!

It’s been a wonderful day of eats. My stomach is happy! I am now going to ice my knees a little late since they are bugging me. :-\ I can tell I definitely did five miles. This is another weekly PDR for me! YAY!! I ran eleven miles this past week. Makes me happy.

I am off to start a new book and sip on some tea.

Goodnight!
