Well, I was certainly back on the healthy food wagon today, after a weekend fraught with a few crappy-for-me-meals. It is great to know that a few bad meals won’t throw my plans off terribly. It means that I’ve really gained a healthy understanding food. Eating a crap meal doesn’t mean I’m bad, or stupid, or weak willed, or a failure. It just means that I chose to eat a cupcake. The End. It is nice to not be tortured by my choices.

Today, I had a multi-grain cheerios breakfast… not exciting, but pretty good.
At around 10, I had some baby carrots and almonds… Its CRAZY how much I’m starting to love almonds!

For lunch, I tried something new, I had a flat out light wrap*, with some left over smoked turkey breast, some hummus, a few crumbles of feta and a CRAP LOAD of kale.

*I freaking HATED that stupid flat out wrap!!! It was nasty! I don’t know why… it should be relatively tortilla-y right? But it seemed to be almost doughy in the middle, and very flour-y on the outside, and had VERY little taste… even whole grain taste is delish… this had NONE. Anyone have any insight on this?
Anyway, I knew I had run training tonight, so, I had a pretty high cal afternoon snack of strawberries, crackers, and delish Peanut Butter & Co PB (Bee’s Knees -honey flavored! ) Those strawberries were among the best I’ve EVER had! I’m so glad I got 2 packages.

For dinner, since my baby wasn’t feeling so hot, I whipped up some chicken voila! (hehe) which was totally adequate… it isn’t exciting, but that’s what those kinds of meals are for!
Tonight, I topped it all off with a cozy treat… I had some hot chocolate! YUM!!

On the workout front, I had a pretty big fail today. I wanted to do a great run, especially coming off my Sunday fffk run, but I got out there, and everything went wrong. I was in a great mood, but I couldn’t breathe properly, my legs felt weird, my knees were tight, my ankles felt wrong… it was just WRONG. I kept making deals with myself and breaking them, which is very unlike me when I run. I’d say, “run until the end of this song”… but I just couldn’t do it. It made me feel horrible! Finally, I made a final push, and told myself that I could call it a day, but only if I jogged the rest of the way home, so, I did. (probably about .75 miles) I only logged about 1.75 ish miles running today… It was disappointing, but again, its nice to be able to give myself a break, and know that sometimes you can push through, but sometimes, you can only do what you can do.

I’ll leave you with some cuteness! Dala loooooooooooves Harry Potter, almost as much as me!
