Before I made the disastrous attempt to run on Saturday, I made a smoothie with protein powder, banana, blueberries, kale, cilantro, and coconut water.
The afternoon was spent running around making some returns. I was good and didn't buy anything, only because Target didn't have my size in the shorts I was looking for.
Since I was out and about, I stopped by Subway and picked up a 6-inch sub made with honey oat bread, pepper jack cheese, oven roasted chicken, lettuce, spinach, tomato, green pepper, onion, jalapenos and a little southwest sauce for lunch.
Later I went to say bye to my friend that is deploying to Afghanistan for the next 12-18 months. On my way there I snacked on a LiveSmart Chocolate Suicide Raw Bar from the HealthySurprise box I mentioned last week.
The bar was delicious and a perfect snack at 196 calories and 6 grams of protein.
I was busy visiting and didn't take many photos. Here are the ones I managed to snap before it got too dark:

Sunday was all around an "off" day for me. I had to get a run in since I didn't finish it on Saturday and I wanted to do it before it got too hot. So when I woke up I grabbed a Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte Larabar and then got ready for my run.
When I left for my run it was only 73 degrees but already felt way warmer than that due to the humidity.
By time I had completed my 4 mile run (I lost my GPS connection at the end), it was 76 but felt like 81 with a 67% humidity. I was dying and so was Roxie, so after I did some stretches we hopped in the car and headed to Starbucks for some cool goodness.
Roxie had a "puppy latte" aka whipped cream and I had a trenta unsweetened Passion Fruit Iced Tea.
Later I grilled some flank steak and served it with green beans and a cauliflower puree. I had never had cauliflower puree before and I was pleasantly surprised. I seasoned it with a bit of butter, cream cheese, and garlic powder.
While I was cooking up lunches for the week, I felt a little hungry (probably due to the fact that my meal times were all out of whack) so I made a green smoothie with pineapple, orange, cilantro, Naked coconut water, and spinach. I didn't add the protein powder since I wasn't using the smoothie as a meal replacement.
Question: If you have an "off" day, do you find it hard to get back in to the groove of things?
Isaiah and I tried to walk Sunday morning because the temperature was right, but only made it a mile because it was so uncomfortable. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time getting back after an off day. I don't have any tips for that. :)
