I got up just after 7:30 this morning and headed to Starbucks around 8. Stopping of course for a sour cream donut for the pups and a double chocolate donut for D. I finally got a tea at Starbucks with a little coconut milk - Peach Tranquility (herbal! no caffeine!). It was very peachy and perfect for the warmer day - summery 😌
When I got home I made this fabulous brekkie!
It has all the yum in it! Spinach, collard greens, yellow pepper, healthy 8 mix (Trader Joe's), corned beef and pork/turkey burger mix. I sautéed it in around a tablespoon of coconut oil.
Just before 1 I headed out for my run. I didn't really have a set route I just wanted to enjoy the 70 degree weather!
I went through the downtown and through a peaceful trail and then I saw this! LOL - crazy!
I stopped and grabbed a water on my way back - somewhere are mile 5 or 6. All I know is it was a slow steady run and I paused when I wanted to with no goal in mind. Just being able to run no matter how fast or slow was what I wanted and I am happy that I could do. 3 years ago I didn't know if I was going to be able to run in the future. I ran Boston and then a half Ironman and I fractured my hip - the femoral head to be exact. Just where you don't want it to happen. So I couldn't run, but I could cross train thankfully! I was able to keep my sanity.
After my run it was time for my post-workout shake. I like to spoon my shake and hey, nutrition isn't always pretty but it is tasty! I mixed my deluxe chocolate and mixed berry with half of a small banana. I mix my shake with water, easy peasy.
I started to eat this before I took a picture! It was so good and so many veggies! Just what I needed and wanted! I did add a little bit of vegetable broth that I didn't count, maybe a 1/4 cup.
Looks like a lot of food, but check it out. Total of 1484 calories, carbs are decent at 101 grams and are only that high because of my "shake". I'm satisfied with the protein and I think I could have upped the fat more.
We also took the pups for a much needed walk after dinner. Jack doesn't like to go outside, all the noises and people freak him out! He sleeps good though and has put on a few extra pounds from not getting in his daily walks. All the rain lately has been horrible.
So here is my ending day counts, since I just added that long walk in. I may have a medjool date.... I don't eat much fruit and know I could have up to 2 servings per day but that hasn't happened.
Tomorrow I get to add nuts and seeds!! YES! Up to 2 ounces. I will probably just have 1 tbs of almond butter in my shake at lunch - so YUM!
