of course i say this after just eating 2 slices of cold pizza for breakfast. Hey it was more free food from a resident.
2 runs this week….though this is counting from Tuesday. if you count a week from last Monday than it would be 3 runs but Garmin is stupid in that way. But great in so many others so I cant really complain.
No run tonight as it is out 2 year anniversary and we are going out to dinner. No idea where yet though. I will tell you all about it tomorrow!!!
The Kind Diet another cookbook I LOVE! Yes it is also vegan and but there are some delicious recipes in here! There are a handful I make over and over and over that I just love!!!
Leftover chili with bread for lunch today. So delicious!
One of the residents where I work had their freezer break and thaw out so they needed to use up the meat that was in there ASAP, lucky for me they aren’t eating red meat right now so tonight Brandon and I will be BBqing a new York stead with grilled zucchini and mashed potatoes! And we will have lamb burgers tomorrow…..I’ve never had a lamb burger so we will see but I want gonna say no to free food!!!
It turned out soooooo good!!!!
I got the hw that is due tonight all done and worked ahead on tomorrow’s HW. I’m one day ahead now, I wish I was more ahead though. I will need to work on that for next quarter.
Stats for this week:
Cant wait to see what next week holds!!!
Not included in those stats:
My first tempo run tonight!!!!
It was only 1 mile but I didn’t walk at all and was under the pace I wanted so yay!!!
I am going to train properly for this half marathon……did I mention Brandon and I signed up for a half marathon the first weekend in October?
Hello!!! So happy it is my Friday!
I have HW to do tomorrow then I think Saturday we are going to go visit his grandparents on their farm. I LOVE where they live. I think they are on about 10 acres and have like 10 cows. I think they got 2 calves this year, I can’t wait to see the baby cows!!!! They also have a million blackberry bushes so i will be bringing homes like 20lbs of blackberries. But i’ll stop before I get carried away, you can see it all when I blog about it hahaha.
Today’s plan:
Try and get some more HW done at work to make tomorrow go a little easier.
1.5 mile run with sprints…….in the 98 degree heat (date night!!! lol)
Taco salad was the plan but instead I ate some cookie dough and homemade guacamole and was way too full. I wanted to puke a little during my run. But I got through it.
Now a movie at home to complete the date night.
And babe made some fried zucchini that was to die for!
I know we are still smack dab in the middle of summer but since I am out watering every day and plodding away in the garden and watching my food grow; I can already see and feel fall coming in the mornings and evenings. Which I am super excited about because Autumn is my favorite month but for the first time I am thinking, “Summer, don’t go too fast…..I want more food hahahaha.”
Here in the pacific northwest by the time the summer solstice hits we have sun from like 4:15am to 10-10:15pm. Now just over a month past the solstice the sun is behind the last houses by 9pm and it is just starting to peak over the horizon when I get a quick morning water in at 5:40am to stave off the 98 degree weather. A quick hit of the hose in the AM means I don’t come home to wilted plants at 5pm. I do the major watering after i get home from work.
Today is a medium busy day for me, I am working until mid-afternoon then meeting my friend for a coffee and a chat
then heading home to get in a quick 1.5 mile run
then making some delicious stuffed zucchini.
We opened our first batch of homemade refrigerator pickles and they are DELICIOUS!!!! I wanted to eat the entire pint jar in one sitting……and no I have not been a major pickle lover my whole life.
Got tomorrows HW done today for the win! Staying ahead is game changing.
Had a quiz tonight for my writing class, though I think quiz was a reach, it had no time limit and was about academic honesty. I think classes just have to follow stupid rules about having a certain amount of test/quizzes……and yet somehow I only got an 80 on it. It asked about citation formatting, need I say more?
Neither of us felt great so we got del taco for dinner and watched the 2nd half of Black Panther, we started it last night but didn’t finish it. Now it is early to bed for us and hopefully we
3 runs this week for a total of 6.2 miles! And 2 short strength days!
Date night this weekend
Mmmmmmmmmmm
Homemade guacamole!!!
Grilled salmon and veggies!!!!
With summer in full swing we are eating a lot of veggies over here!
I am loving have a good sized chicken again to work with!!!
I only worked out twice this week! I started a new fitness program and I pushed it a little too hard. I tweaked my knee, taped it Tuesday evening. It’s still a little funky but its doing much better. Wednesday I took the tape off my knee and then taped my calf.
I was sort of a hot mess. I did an arm workout on Thursday then didn’t work out again the rest of the week. So happy Monday and I am starting from the beginning again! But I won’t go crazy tonight and reinjur my knee and calf.
How was your week?
I love being in the garden! It makes me feel calm and centered and so connected to the earth and the seasons!
Anyone else growing anything!!!
My blueberry mixture turned out more like blueberry cookie dough, maybe because I used 1/3 butter and 2/3 crisco (I ran out of butter) so instead of mini loaf pans I stuck it in a shallow rectangle pan and make them slightly healthier cookies. Heat them up later with some ice cream!!!
I also bought a cantaloupe and cut that up for snacks this week.
Did you food prep this week?
