Reasons Why Today Rocked, C25K, Frog Legs

Thanks you guys - we really did have a blast at my sister's housewarming party! I was also of course thrilled that the mac & cheese went over so well - it will be a new regular thing I bring to parties, holiday gatherings, etc. - exciting! Monday was a doozy! In a nutshell: work, walk 4 miles, work more, head straight home, make 4 bacon/egg/cheese packets, make 8 big pigs in a blanket, and make garlic chicken for quinoa. Hang out with the family, watch a movie, and call it a day! I ended up at 1,683 calories, 197 carbs, 53 fat grams and 97 protein grams. Here's what I ate.

Tuesday was SO much more fun and eventful! LOL Probably because I wasn't a walking zombie - I'm such a Monday Zombie. Anywho - here's a few reasons why today rocked!

Reasion #1: My Eats

I REALLY enjoyed all of my eats today - bacon egg & cheese muffin for breakfast, pesto chicken pasta for lunch, garlic quinoa with veggies for dinner - yum yum yum! Snacks were pretty fab too - 3 chips ahoy reduced fat cookies post-dinner, big pig in a blanket pre lunch-workout and a scoop of ice cream + 2 cookies (icecream cookie sammy!) at a work birthday celebration (for July birthdays including yours truly!).

Reason #2: My Run

During lunch we knocked out 3 miles, but after work I headed over to the gym and got on the treadmill. I walked 2 minutes at 4.0 mph then ran 30 minutes at 6.3 mph - my FIRST 30 minute run EVER. I cooled down for 3 minutes and got 3.5 miles in 35 minutes. I can officially do what I wanted to do: get on a treadmill for 30 minutes and knock out 3 miles. WOO - feels fabulous!

Yessssssss!


Reason #3: My Pupper

hehe frog legs!

I mean really - could he be more cute?! Love it. He enjoyed watching Jennifer's Body with me & Reuben which is perhaps one of the funniest movies ever. OMG

I ended the day up at 1,753 calories, 175 carbs, 68 fat grams and 103 protein grams. Here's what I ate. Now i'm just getting ready for another day at the office!

Q: What's the longest you've ever run without stopping? I'm at my new record of 30 minutes - so thrilled!

Q: Have you seen Jennifer's Body? Seriously I dislike Meagan Fox and thought it looked ridiculous... and it was.... but it wasn't even scary it was just so funny. Kinda like Zombieland meets Juno meets Scream - LOVE!

Q: Why did your day rock?
