Can you sense the sarcasm in my title? Haha today’s What I Ate Wednesday doesn’t really follow the “green” theme for March, unless you count my green frozen yogurt spoon! But hey, no one eats perfectly all the time, so here’s a look at all my food from yesterday!
If you’re new to WIAW, head on over to Peas and Crayons to find out what it’s all about and to see the other participating bloggers!
I woke up a little later than normal (about 6:30), did some blog work and then around 8 headed to the gym. Normally I wake up hungry but I had zero appetite. I figured I should have something in my system before my “long” run, so I ate a Clif Shot Blok before heading out.
Guess how far my long run was?
FIVE MILES!
I cannot tell you the last time I ran five miles. I’m taking it slow getting back into distances, but I’ve got a 10K coming up in a week and a half, so I figured I should get in a couple longer runs so I don’t die. It’s another Muddy Monk Trail Run, so it’s just for fun, but I still want to do well! Luckily there will be no snow this time…
When I got back (around 9:45) I threw together breakfast: Oatbran (with almond milk, water, cinnamon, stevia and 1 tsp psyllium husk powder) and fage yogurt with vanilla and stevia mixed in. Quick and easy!
While I was making my breakfast I was SO EXCITED to receive a text from Michelle (at Better with Berries)! She is here in Chicago for a few days during her spring break and I’d been dying to meet her. She also lives in Missouri and we’d been keeping up with each other for at least a year, but never being in the same place at the same time. Well, we finally were! She wanted to try out one of the frozen yogurt places that are here but not in Missouri so we met up at Yogurtland for some frozen yogurt lunch!
They had some new flavors: I got Bananas Foster and Strawberry – AMAZING! I even talked to the manager about the Yogurtland that they’re opening way too close to where I live, and it should be open in May! This could be dangerous for studying for the Bar…
We ended up talking for about an hour and a half, and then I finally had to peel myself away or I’d be late for class! That’s what I love about meeting blog friends – we always end up having so much in common!
During class I had a decaf coffee (actually decaf Americano with water… so not as good in my opinion), and I also had a lemon Quest bar. I ordered a variety box online because I love these things… so good.
When I got home I decided it was time for some veggies, so I steamed some kale, topped it with 2 eggs, and then a sauce I made from nutritional yeast, almond milk, and chickpea miso:
After that I tried to make a new microwave muffin… It didn’t turn out quite as planned so I’ll have to keep experimenting. Don’t worry, I ate it anyways, with plenty of almond butter.
Finished off the evening with a Hersey kiss!
Perhaps today I’ll amp up the veggie count…
Do you ever have days where there isn’t a vegetable in sight?
Where is your favorite kind of place to meet up with friends?
