healthy laps

I have quite the appetite these days!  Especially on the days when I workout.

Yesterday morning I woke up to enjoy a very chilly 45 minute run outside.  It was cold out!  The first frost I have seen on cars since last winter!  I take it very easy while running these days and enjoy the scenery around me.  It is wonderful to just go for a run to enjoy it.  The last few years, I have been so caught up in training that I forgot what running for fun means!  I never stopped loving running while I was training, but my mindset was just very different.

I am loving getting a workout in on most days to move my legs and body.  I think it helps me feel better too!

After my run, I had a few leftover pancakes with pear syrup for breakfast.

And, whipped up a smoothie to take with me to work.  I have been getting much hungrier mid-morning this week, so I wanted a healthy snack just in case.  At 10:30am on the dot, I was craving that smoothie. 🙂

For lunch, I kept it simple with an Amy’s Burrito with beans, rice and cheese.

And, sliced peppers and plums.

Mid-afternoon, I snacked on a few dates and dried pineapple for a little fuel before meeting Victoria for dinner!

We headed to Rustic Kitchen for a delicious meal.  I had an awesome salad with mixed greens, sliced apples, candied walnuts, butternut squash, shrimp, cheddar cheese in a citrus viniagrette. 🙂  Yum Yum!
