Mother Nature keeps us on our toes here in Boston. Today's weather was "typical" of New England:
Workout and Lunch Once the morning cleared up, I managed to fit in a 5.2 mile run down near the ocean. My run felt great (I love my Nike+ipod gadget!) until the last 1/2 mile or so when my right hip started to ache. I stretched a ton when I got home, so let's hope it was just a fluke. Lunch today included a spinach salad with carrots, red onion, a pickle, a dollop of hummus, and balsamic vinegar...  and a peanut butter and apricot sandwich on whole wheat...
 and a Stonyfield yogurt. I covered all the bases, right? Lunch was very satisfying today-- I didn't need a "real" snack this afternoon.  Around 4:30, I was sort of hungry, but I was planning to cook dinner in about an hour, so I drank a pomegranate-lemonadeand ate 2 pickles to hold me over.  Dinner Mal hadquitethe good time last night at his bachelor party. He and his friends drank vodka tonics and stayed up until 5:30 this morning, so needless to say, he wasn't feeling 100% when he arrived home this afternoon. Being the nice fiance that I am, I offered to cook dinner for him-- his request: Annie's Mac and Cheese(aka one of the best comfort foods ever).  I mixed the Annie's with ground turkey and steamed spinach. I think it actually made Mal feel a little bit better.  My after dinner sweet snack was half of a piece of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and butterscotch chips. The combo of peanut butter and butterscotch wasdivine!!!!!!! I really want to have another half! :)  It's movie time for us! I don't think Mal can handle much more tonight. Poor guy. |
