Happy mother's day!

First I have to start by saying, I spent Saturday afternoon watching Food INC. When I went out for drinks/dessert with some friends after, I couldn't stomach many things. I ended up eating a mozzarella, tomato, basil appetizer. I still feel sickened by that movie (though I know I still ate diary).

Here's the weekend update:

I think I ran my slowest two miles on Friday! I was super sluggish. But a really great power up song is Airplanes by B.O.B. featuring Hailey Williams (I used to love Paramore). Here is my run:

I ate a ton of leftovers on friday, so I don't have any delicious recipes to report. But, on Saturday I fell off the wagon. I ate apple jacks for breakfast and a hot dog for lunch (I was with my parents and it's our tradition to eat at this hot dog place after we got to englishtown. I felt guilty breaking it. I figured what's one hot dog), but boy-oh-boy did I feel really crappy. I ended up taking a two hour nap because I was completely deprived of energy. I won't be hitting the unhealthy wagon again after that. For dinner I made the Caesar salad I posted about before. But instead of adding mustard, I added 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce and I substituted half of the parm cheese for horseradish cheddar that was in my fridge. It was good, but a little less creamy.

To end my weekend wrap up - today's run was:

I really dislike when I think or feel I am running a far distance, and when I come home, I realize it was not even three miles. I'm going to start lengthening my runs. Here's a little fun fact from the map my run website : The website has green facts. I started logging my workouts online five days ago. These are my green stats:
Total Workout Days: 5
Distance Traveled: 8.42 mi.
Gas Saved: 0.47 gallons
Money Saved: $1.63
Carbon Offset: 9.1 lbs. of CO2

I think that's very cool! For those of you who are runners, here is another fun list of the top 7 foods for runners . For breakfast today, I had a banana-peanut butter protein shake (post workout because I wake up and run. Then, I eat).

Lunch is not planned yet, and since today is Mother's Day, I am going to my in-law's for dinner. They are ordering chinese food. Expect a follow up blog after I spend my afternoon researching chinese food! Let's see what I come up with! Happy Mothers Day!
