It's Contest Time!

It was cool enough last night that the furnace kicked back in. Hello…it’s JUNE! Grrr. Getting out of bed was tough because I was so cozy under the covers. Then I remembered that I had a new topping to try out on my oats this morning and that got me going! Nothing like the thought of food to get me out of bed.
-1 cup water
-1/3 cup Old Wessex 5 Grain cereal
-cinnamon
-banana
-diced fresh strawberries
-1 tbsp hulled hemp seeds!!
I loved these little sprinkles! Yet another food related item that I’ve seen on blogs and decided to try. If it wasn’t for you guys, I never would’ve know what to do with hemp seeds.

Backtracking to last night for a minute here; I was dying for some chocolate and found myself staring into the kid’s lunch snack drawer. Not good! I quickly closed it up and grabbed a chocolate chip z bar….
Just what I needed to smack the craving in the face! Earlier in the evening I also tried out the coconut chai tea. I added some honey and a splash of milk as per the instructions and it was mucho tasty!
So glad I bought it…and at a reduced price to boot! It was regular $10.49 and I grabbed it for $6.89

Work went by pretty quick today. I ate a few figs and 2 bites of a co-workers rhubarb cake before going to the gym;
The cake was really good, but I could tell it was loaded with white stuff which I try to avoid. I’ve become very picky the last few years about what kind of treats I decide to indulge in. My sweet tooth isn’t as sweet as it used to be!

I ran my first 5 miles today since my ankles bummed out on me! YIPEE! I was thrilled, if you can’t tell.

Time: 50 minutes
Avg Hr: 160
Max Hr: 183
Calories Burned: 476
Distance: 5.01 miles

I didn’t get there quite as fast as I had been, but that’s irrelevant because my goal was to just get there.

Lunch was some leftover love with a little extra broccoli for some added veggie;
Just as good as last night! Lunch dessert was a Strawberry Rhubarb muffin.
After dropping DD off at dance (this is the last lesson of the year) and before going to soccer with DS, I made 2 egg whites served up on a toasted Ezekiel English muffin with tomato slices and Franks hot sauce. There were also steamed green beans on the side and the rest of the tomato……
My sweet end was the last vegan cookie, chocolate chip shortbread;
This was only half as DS ate the other piece and it set off a bit of a sugar need. Unpictured is a Kellogg's chocolate chip all bran bar and 2 handfuls of cinnamon chips. Ooopps!!! Thank goodness it was time to leave for soccer or who knows what else I would've eaten!
