Breakfast bowl, work out and smoothies

A miracle happened last night.  My little girl only woke up once, and then she slept until 8:30am! I am still in shock.  I guess Fuss Fest 2014 yesterday really wore her out!

Today is my very first What I Ate Wednesday (or half-day).  I have been a fan of Jenn's blog for some time now, and one of the reasons I decided to start my own.

Today, started out with a breakfast bowl of this:


I mixed together ~1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup Fiber One Honey Cinnamon cereal, a sprinkle of PB2 and almond milk.  Yum!  Cereal is one of my most favorite foods in the world, and I always overeat it.... always... until today.  It dawned on me that if I added the Greek yogurt it may actually fill me up.  It worked!  I did grab a few handfuls of green bean chips... but that doesn't count.  :o)

My work out today looked like this on the treadmill:

Run 1 mile at 6.3mph

.25 miles at 7mph
.25 miles at 6.8mph
Repeat

Run 1 mile at 6.5mph

.25 miles at 8mph
.25 miles at 6.8mph
Repeat

Run 1 mile at 6.3mph

.25 miles at 7mph
.25 miles at 6.8
Repeat

It was a good one to break up the treadmill monotony.

Post work out shake:


It may not look too pretty, but it was tasty!

1/2 avocado
2 handfuls greens
1 orange
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup rhubarb
a few drops stevia or honey to sweeten
1 cup water

The avocado made it so nice and creamy.  It was a new smoothie addition for me, but one that I plan on using a lot more of.

Lunch today followed almost immediately after, and was way too ugly to take a picture.  I made a big salad with 2 pouches of StarKist Tuna Creations, lots of blue cheese yogurt dressing, green bean chips and croutons.  it was yum.
I love this dressing so much.  I go through a bottle a week.  It is so great.  Highly recommend all Bolthouse Farms products.

Time to shower and get going!  Dinner tonight will probably be out.  I'm getting some serious cabin fever... I need to start finding places conducive to bringing a 2 month old....
