Weekend Part I

I am laying downstairs in my house where it is cool and relaxing.  My day has been GO GO GO.  The toga party was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately we had to leave early because we had to wake up early today.

Here are our toga’s

I only had one drink at the party—a blueberry vodka with Sierra Mist Free.  I also munched on some pita chips.

On the way home we stopped at 7-11 because Justin wanted a gatorade.  How pleased I was when I found out that was free slurpee day (because it was July 11th).

It was a little kiddie size cup.  Perfect size for me!!! I got a cherry flavor because the crystal light flavor was broken (:( ).  I also had a sweet tooth weakness and got Swedish Fish.  I only had 2 though.

And went to bed.  6AM came WAY too early.  We got to work immediately moving furniture out and such.  People started showing up at a quarter til 7.

Breakfast

I made myself an iced coffee to wake me up.  It was just GFI sugar-free french vanilla mixed with water and ice.

and made a cereal mixture of about 2T swiss museli, some regular oats, kashi go lean, 5 frosted mini wheats and some dried fruit.  I had a small spoonful of natural peanut butter on the side and about 1/4 cup of light soy milk mixed in.  I also had a piece of 100% whole wheat toast with apple butter on it.  I unfortunately looked at the ingredients of the apple butter and it had HFCS.  UGH!  I am going to aim to find some natural AB and chuck this crap.

(it isn’t burnt, it just looks that way because of the AB)

We did pretty well.  I left around 10:30 and rode my bike up to the farmer’s market.  I wandered around forever just looking at all the yummy goodness that has started to come in.  I am thrilled that peaches are in now!!  and corn!!

And look at this adorable little guy:

By the end of the yard sale, we made enough money to make it worth getting up early.  Still had quite a bit of stuff that we took to Planet Aid.  After that, I had to run to a meeting but I didn’t have time to really eat.  So I just grabbed food to take with me.

Lunch

I had half a clif bar (chocolate chip) and a plum.

Then yesterday evening, I was going to see Brad Paisley (with Jewel) along with 2 of my girlfriends.  Before I left the house I knew I hadn’t eaten much during the day, so I threw together a snack.  I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 1/2 a banana and some (farmer’s market) cantaloupe.  I put a little apple butter on top because Justin always says he likes AB with cottage cheese.  I am not sold on this combination.

I also had 2 100% whole grain sesame crackers with hummus spread on one and 1/2T of peanut butter on the other.

and out the door I went.  We had an amazing time at Brad Paisley.  I had 2 beers (the remaining Ultra’s from Friday night) before we went in.  I snacked on some Honey Wheat pretzel braids and rice crisp while tailgating.  Right after walking in, these guys that work for Brad Paisley came up to us and said that they are given front row tickets to give to girl’s every night.  So we ended up being right front row.  It made me feel like a groupie (especially seeing I didn’t know a single song) but it was a lot of fun being that close.  I LOVED being that close for Jewel.  I was amazed how fit/muscular she was.  She wasn’t in anyway a teeny Hollywood girl.  You could tell she lifts some weights, which I enjoyed.  I had 2 drinks while at the concert–another beer and a margarita.   Alice and I split a soft pretzel.

I didn’t eat a whole lot on Saturday.  Just kind of snack throughout the day with out any real ‘meal’ except for breakfast.  Probably wasn’t the best idea and I have felt off all day today (sunday) because of it.




Summary



About Me: 28-year old, fairly newlywed (Spring 2007) that lives in Northern VA. Work full time, love my job, have an unfortunately long daily commute.

While an obsessive long distance runner, I am still trying to recover from 2 major knee surgeries. Atleast I am able to (semi) run again.

In the past, I definitely have not always fed my body correctly to support all the running I did. Simply put, my aim was to be the smallest weight/size possible. Now, my aim is to eat healthy, well rounded and simply to enjoy as much of life without worry about the calorie content and what the tenth of a pound the scale is showing me.
