Happy Friday! Well, for me at least J Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and my boss was kind enough to give me Friday off as well! I’m so excited, I plan to spend Friday putting up Christmas decorations at my grammy’s house, my house and most likely my mom’s house! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I cannot wait to have everything decked in holiday décor!
Sorry about the lack of post yesterday, my job has been crazy busy and stressful lately and I haven’t had a moment to think. Luckily, today is starting off slower and I’m kind of hoping that it stays that way!
Yesterday was a BIG day for me, goal-wise!! My goal was 4 miles by Christmas and 5 miles by January… well I went running yesterday morning and I ran 5 MILES! Without stopping! In the freezing ass rain! I was SO happy and proud of myself! I love being surprised by my own abilities! Aside from a few sore spots and a slight burn in my chest, I felt fantastic after my run! It also made me really great when I talked to my brother after and I told him my time and he said that’s about the same pace that they (being his navy people) keep when they run so I’m not as slow as I thought I was! So now that I have the distance, I have plenty of time to work on speed! I already know that when I do the actual 8k my speed will be faster b/c it’s a flat course, as opposed to the inclines that I run now.
Food yesterday was pretty basic:
Breakfast: protein shake, granola w/ soy milk, juice
Snack: Oatmeal
Lunch: Leftover chili
Snack: Protein Tofu
Dinner: Veggie tacos w/ black beans
Well I’m officially 0 for 2 this week for my gym workouts. My child has not been sleeping well AT ALL which means I’m getting little to no sleep and I just don’t have the energy when my alarm goes off in the morning. Now that I’m down 2 of the 3 gym workout this week I think I may just skip the Friday workout as well and start over on Monday clean.
Food Today
Breakfast:
½ c Granola w/ soy milk
Fresh juice (see pictures below)
Snack:
Oatmeal w/ raisins and cinnamon
Lunch:
Leftover veggie chili
Snack:
Protein Tofu
Dinner:
Asian Stir Fry (I bought some new fancy toasted sesame oil I’m excited to try!)
So I’ve been talking about juicing for the past few weeks and I thought this morning I would finally take pictures of it all!
The first picture is the produce that I prepped for our juice (2 servings) and the second is the finished result J

| That's 1 Golden Apple, 1 Red Apple, 1 Green Apple, 1 Orange, 2 Strawberries, 1 Carrot, 1/2 container Blackberries and 1tbs Cranberries per serving |

| The Result! Yummy organic juice! |
As you can see, a lot of produce goes into a serving of juice! It’s both a blessing and a curse – blessing as you get loads of produce in a compact serving and a curse as it can get a little expensive buying so much organic produce! Totally worth it, I’m not complaining and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon, I’m just sayin…. J
Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge T-day fan. I’m so overly obsessed with Christmas that Thanksgiving has always just been a giant dinner between Halloween and Santa time lol… I’ve never been a fan of the ‘holiday food’ (turkey/gravy/pie, etc) so it was never a big day that I looked forward to…. And even less so this year lol. This year we are spending Thanksgiving w/ my inlaws and my mother in law’s family… I’ve only met them once and well, yeah. I’m also slightly concerned with the fact that I probably won’t be able to eat anything that they’re serving so I plan to make a big thing of roasted veggies to take so I can have that… oh well, just roll with the punches I guess!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a healthy and happy Thanksgiving! Don’t cram 11 pounds of turkey down your throat just because It’s a holiday lol… be mindful of your bites!
Until next time…
