Tapering WAIW

Yay! I can't believe we are halfway through the week already and only 4 days away from my first half marathon!  And it's what I ate wednesday. 

 

My breakfast is a new favorite, oatmeal minus the oats. 

covered in peanut butter obvi

 

This took me from 6:30 to 10ish. Then I scarfed an apple and had some mint tea because my work is freezing.

My favorite tea. Perfect for a person with a restless stomach.

 

Lunch:

Tuna salad made with greek yogurt instead of mayo. Filled with edamame, carrots, green peppers and craisins.

and half a KIND bar. 

 

For dinner I made one of our favorite dinners, black bean burgers.  They are really easy to make and so flavorful.

cooking on the griddle.

 

black bean burgers with carrots and......blue box mac and cheese. Pick your battles ladies haha. Today I chose to give in to Matt's request lol.  Next time I'm going to make homeade mac and cheese and see what he thinks.

 

I will likely be having a nice square of dark chocolate later tonight along with some almond butter!

 

After dinner I did a short abs workout and took this little man for a walk.

"my toof is stuck on ma lip"

 

I've been taking it easy this week, trying to rest my legs before the big race. I ran 2 miles on Monday along with an abs and arms workout and ran 3 miles outside yesterday.

 

 

 

Tomorrow I'll be at the gym doing upper body and 2 miles again and then resting on Friday and Saturday before the race. I'm so ready for it to be here. I'm ready to prove to myself that I can do this!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Daria Alert

Today was just gross outside. Two days ago I glanced at the weather (ok, i didn't glance, I'm an obsessive weather checker, meteorologist Megan to those I work with) and it was supposed to be 72 and partly cloudy today.  Fast forward and I'm driving to work in a torrential downpoor and the temps don't even reach 60.  That's springtime for you!  We had a doubleheader for volleyball...but I'll get to that later.

Now for What I Ate Wednesday brought to you by my phone lol. 

Breakfast:

Pumpkin Protein Pancakes from Carrots N Cake. 

2 tbsp pumpkin

1/2 mashed banana

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 egg (I used egg whites)

1 tbsp flax seed meal

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

I made these last night and then warmed them up in the toaster oven this morning while I was getting ready for work.  I topped mine with some peanut butter and the other half of my banana. These kept me full for almost 4 hours!!

Snack:

Lunch:

Leftover black bean burger in a salad from last night.

Pre-Volleyball Snack

Chobani :) My life source!

Dinner:

Leftover whole wheat pizza from Monday night.  Hit the spot.  Right now I'm snacking on some dark chocolate and getting ready to pour myself a glass of wine.  And then...I'm passing out.

I totally pulled a Daria today at volleyball. I was so cold that I was absolutely useless.  My toes were completely numb...all 10. 

I totally tried to find the picture where the ball wizzes by and Daria just sticks out her hand without even moving, but I couldn't find it anywhere. This will have to do.  One of the only great things to come out of MTV (besides the Jersey Shore of course haha).
