(The Kings just won it. What an awesome series and season of hockey.)
Today has been awesome. I feel like I am back to where I was before my vacation. I might not be down to where I was before (since I just wrote about that yesterday) but it feels like I’m back on the right track and it feels awesome. Alright, let’s talk…
Breakfast: I had two pieces of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter. I then had a little Dove Chocolate that said “Happiness looks good on you” late at work. Good stuff.
Lunch: I didn’t bring a lunch (which I will start doing again) so I just walked across campus and had Pollo Tropical, which is quite possibly the best on campus restaurant in the nation (hyperbole aside… and except for the Taco Cabana that’s on campus at the University of Texas.) Anyway, usually this comes with a roll, but I immediately threw it away to stave off any temptation of eating it. What an awesome lunch.
The Rundown of the Run… Down: I didn’t run in the morning… and I immediately regretted it. I ran 5 miles this afternoon when it was cooler (cooler being 90-something with a heat index of 8000 degrees.) I found this new trail that goes from my place right on to campus. Anyway, mile 1-3, I was running 10 minute miles exactly, but the heat and the sweat searing my retinas was really getting to me. I also thing I pseudo-strained my left groin muscle a few weeks ago so around mile 3 or so , my body gets mad at me. It totally worth it though, I ran 5 miles in 53:31 and burned 926 calories. I have already gotten some of my running swagger back which is awesome. Last Monday I ran 4 miles in 48:30 so I’m already shaving time off like a boss. SAWS!!!
Dinner of Awesomeness: For dinner, Megan made her awesome not fried fried chicken with squash and acre peas. It was magical. Then, she made this awesome blackberry cobbler from the Pioneer Woman blog. It was perfect with a scoop of Edy’s Slow Churned.
So that’s it for the day. Here’s to another awesome one tomorrow.
My gift to you: the Alabama Shakes. You’re Welcome
The not fried fried chicken looks great! It’s baked? And congrats on the awesome run. KEEP IT UP!
Thank you good sir!
And yes, it’s baked and fantastic!
Thanks for being awesome and congrats on becoming super famous in my motherland of Canada!
Super famous? Aw shucks.
I thought you said you were going to count points again and it was necessary to the weight loss? Where are the points?
(not trying to be a nag, but this is your conscience speaking!)
Well, you know how to cut me to the quick Baxter. I guess I’ll have to get to it since my conscience (whoever you are) is watching over me. Thanks conscience.
