A First and Leftovers

Did everyone have a great weekend, it went by way too fast if you ask me! I really enjoyed the day around the pool with the girls, can’t believe they are headed back to school  on Tuesday!
This morning I woke up before everyone and decided to sneak out of the house without the dogs and go for an early morning walk. Only my walk turned into a run!!! I was shocked, it wasn’t a lot but it was a start. I’ve always wanted to start running but fear has been stopping me for some reason. So out of the blue I got off my street and just ran until I got tired,which was about 15 minutes, walked a little and started running again, I did this for about 30 minutes. Hoping I will be able to walk in the morning, I did a lot of stretching when I got back home.  lol Does anyone have any programs to suggest to me, I’ve heard about couch to 5k…I need to get on some sort of schedule. Although I only have  a few months before the snow arrives and I don’t own a treadmill. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)
So for breakfast I toasted a whole wheat bagel thin and topped it with Barney almond butter, my granola and sliced banana, it was soooo good!!!

Lunch was a nice big salad

For an afternoon snack I had some fresh fruit with plain greek yogurt and a half of larabar (hubby was a recipient of the other half) ;)

And dinner was a rotisserie chicken I picked up at the market and some leftover pasta and veggies…

Heading to bed early, the sun completely drains me!
‘Night!

Rainy Sunday

As much as we need the rain, I already miss the sun. I have definitely  taken the sun for granted these past few months. Here in the northeast we have had such a beautiful summer, no matter what week you had for vacation it was perfect!
Didn’t have much on the agenda to do today. Hubby went fishing and I got caught up on all my guilty dvr recordings from the past couple of weeks. For breakfast I had a whole wheat bagel thin, love these!!! Only 110 calories and 3 grams of fiber, not bad! I topped it with some neufchatel cheese and sliced strawberries.

Snacked a lot on some brown rice chips and hummus, so much so that I wasn’t that hungry for lunch! oops!
For dinner I baked some boneless chicken thighs with whole grain brown mustard and maple syrup, made some pesto red potatoes, broiled tomatoes and corn on the cob.

Getting ready to watch the Great Food Truck Race on Food Network with Tyler Florence!  Anyone else watch this?
