Cold & Rainy

by Meghann on December 4, 2009

Boy I am glad I got my run in early this morning. Right now its freezing (for Florida’s standards) and raining cats & dogs out side. Brrrr…. it actually took everything in me to leave the direct heat in my car a few moments ago.

I’m such a wimp. How am I going to survive St. Louis next week? The forecast is looking cold and rainy the whole time I will be there too. Not cool Mother Nature, not cool at all.

My 9:00am meeting ended up lasting until the lunch hour. In fact I didn’t even realize I was hungry until we were reviewing menus for a reception and my mouth started watering over the options available. I know I need food when I start lusting after pasta. lol

I practically ran home and threw together a quick and tasty meal.

Brussel Sprouts & Hummus

Yes, those brussel sprouts are raw and yes, I enjoy eating them that way. :) They have a nice crunch and honestly one of the main reasons I eat vegetables raw is I have no time or are too lazy to cook them.

I grabbed a piece of chocolate on my way out the door.

The Cafe flavor of the Merci chocolates was awesome. One of my faves! Not one of my faves? The Marzipan – yuck!

Swapping Rest Days

by Meghann on December 4, 2009

Good Morning Lovelies!

I have a product kick off meeting to get to at 9:00 am and need to make this quick!

I traded in my usual Friday rest day this morning for a 4 mile run. The run was originally planned for tomorrow, but due to the early start of my family’s christmas caravan I knew I wouldn’t have time.

The 4 miles was great. It was pretty cool and a little rainy – perfect running weather.

Last night I had prepped a bowl of overnight oats that was waiting for me when I finished making myself pretty.

My overnight oats consisted of

  • 1/2 cup of Oats
  • Plain Oikos
  • A big scoop of Almond Butter
  • Crushed Hazel Nuts
  • Raisins
  • Cinnamons

I topped my oats with 1/2 an Apple, a touch of Cranberry Sauce, and a sprinkle of Flax.
