Training advice

Wow! You guys are so great.  I feel so much better about my shortened long run from yesterday.  I’m taking your advice and not feeling bad about it any more.  I’ll see how I feel on Wednesday about another run and stick to just 20 (I can’t believe I wrote just 20) for my run two Saturdays from now.

I almost didn’t get up to workout this morning.  I turned my alarm off, set it for one hour later, then closed my eyes.  But then, my mind started spinning and I knew I should just go ahead and get up or I would be thinking and feeling guilty for postponing my workout for the next hour.

After five miles on the treadmill, I was starving.

I decided to have a sliced apple with sunflower butter and an egg sandwich.

I used the perfect egg method, but this time I used one whole egg, 1/4 cup of egg white, and a big handful of spinach.  I had to up the cooking time since I was cooking more than just an egg.  I put my egg and spinach on a sandwich thin with a Laughing Cow.  Delicious and filling!  I gotta have protein and carbs in my breakfast or I’m starving, really starving, by lunch time.

Speaking of lunch…

After some really long meetings, I was more than ready for lunch today.  I was planning on going to AT&T during my lunch break to buy the new iPhone.  Technically, I’m eligible for an upgrade, but I’m being cheap and saving my money until I really need or want a new one.  I was convinced this morning that my phone wouldn’t hold a charge, but in reality, the phone just wasn’t showing it was charged.  I turned it off and on again and finally, the phone figured out that it had almost a full battery.  Weird.

Lunch today was a salmon salad wrap, celery, the rest of my Sabra hummus, and a very delicious orange. Citrus season is here.  🙂

Salmon salad is great if you’re tired of tuna or if just really like salmon.  I took a whole can of salmon and combined it with 1/4 cup Chobani Greek yogurt, a small dollop of dijon mustard, and a generous sprinkle of salt and dried dill.

I put half of it on a whole wheat wrap with some mixed green salad mix.

I have something new cooking in my head for dinner tonight.  Stay tuned. 🙂
