To wrap up yesterday’s eats since I ran off to the Girls’ Dinner: I ate a large serving of the spinach salad I brought (shown in yesterday’s post), plus a fabulous wild rice Keri made, a stack of slow cooked carrots, big glass of pinot grigio followed by a half slice of the best peach pie I’ve ever tasted (Amber your pie was AWESOME!)
I did stay out past my normal bedtime and my crazy body clock woke me up today at around 4:20 AM anyway. I am such an early bird without wanting to be! I really wish I was that person who could sleep in when she wanted!
Around 5:45 AM I was getting hungry so I made 2 slices of Ezekial toast with raw organic almond butter and a drizzle of raw organic honey. Oddly, I was full after the first slice so I didn’t end up eating it.
MSP (My Sweetie Pie) and I headed out to the Highlands Ranch Backcountry for today’s exercise, which was a hella-hilly trail run of 4.58 miles. (I use the word “run” lightly today. Sore legs + less sleep = some uphill walking was necessary!) Yesterday’s leg workout is definitely talking to me. See what I mean about those explosive lunges?? They are killer! Even my legs look tired in this pic (and sadly this was BEFORE we ran):
Around lunchtime I was meeting up with my friend Amanda at Starbucks where I had a grande soy steamer and one of their petite scones (I LOVE those because they are the perfect size to enjoy without overdoing it.)
MSP and I had a late lunch/early dinner today at a great place he just found out about called z pizza They have all kinds of great stuff like vegan gluten-free crust, veggie burger crumbles for topping, organic tomato sauce and soy cheese. I’m thrilled to see more places popping up that offer alternatives for people who eat like I do!
Here’s the creation I picked for my 10″ pizza of which I apparently only ate 5″ (wheat crust, soy cheese, romano tomato slices, shitake mushrooms and cilantro):
It was fabulous! I can’t wait to eat the other half (mmmm cold pizza tomorrow for b-fast maybe??) I didn’t eat a huge salad today so I’m thinking I’ll either have another green drink, or some homemade popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast, as it is now time to chill in front of a movie!
Have a great night!
