(Did that sound profound or what?)
You know that saying... It's better late than never? Well that's my philosophy on writing a WIAW post on Thursday! (Just go along with it)
I started out my morning... not so bright and early. Though I planned to wake at 6am and get out on the road for my run before 7am, that's not exactly what happened. It was more like this:
- 6am - alarm goes off. Open eyes. Grope around. Find iPhone and turn off alarm. Go back to sleep.
- 7am - Wake up. Roll over. Go back to sleep.
- 8am - Wake up. Jerk myself out of bed before I'm fully awake. Stagger out of room. Bathroom. Dress. Breakfast.
 |
| Inhale two bowls of PB puffins with almond milk. |
- 9am - Drive up to the park/ hills near our house and run in the hot sun. Suffer tremendously.
- 10:15am - Drive home, drenched. Cue breakfast numero dos.
 |
| Ginormous sliced banana, topped with almond butter and melted in the microwave. Mmmmmm. |
 |
| Strawbs on the side. |
- 11am - jet off to the train.
- 11:25am - Buy ticket.
- 11:28am - Breathe.
- 11:29am - Get blown away by the train.
- 12pm - Arrive at my old treatment center where I still have nutrition and therapy meetings. Eat lunch in the park.
 |
| Déjeuner à l'air. |
Salad: spinach, broccoli, 1/2 tomato, celery, 1/4 cold Kabocha squash roasted with cinnamon and nutmeg, Sabra artichoke and spinach hummus.
Dessert was an unpictured banana walnut muffin made out of this stuff:
 |
| Oats, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder & soda, stevia, bananas. |
- 12:30pm - Meet with my therapist. It was actually a little more fruitful than past meetings with her. We talked about my fears about going back to school and making friends, guilt, etc.
- 1:30pm - Meet with my nutritionist. Apparently I'm undereating given the amount of activity I'm doing. Also not eating enough carbs or protein. She recommended I get back on track with my meal plan, etc, which is freaky but I'm going to try. She also recommended I eat a little extra starch the two days before my race (Sunday) to rebuild by glycogen stores. Yes ma'am!
- 2:15 - Stock up on essentials at Safeway! Aka: spinach, Greek yogurt (Yay!), and bananas. What more could you want in life? Other than peanut butter, of course ;)
- 2:45 - Catch the train and carb up with an unpictured Kid Zbar in chocolate chip flavor.
- 3:45 - Get home and snack!
 |
| The usual: greek yogurt, pb, pumpkin butter, jam, cinnamon. Beautiful |
- 4:20pm - Drive to Santa Cruz to go sailing with my uncle and aunt plus other people. Meet up with them and race in front of the Beach Boardwalk! 'We' came second - apparently the first time in 7 weeks they haven't won. It was kind of crazy and intense, with everyone yelling things, running all over the boat to tighten this rope and pull out the spinnaker - but fun to be out on the water and admire the sights.
- 9pm - Get home. Take funny photos of my windswept hair and Outfit of The Day.
Green and white striped tank top: J. Crew, Shorts: Target.
- 9:15pm - Make dinner - so late! I baked a quick Organics spinach cheese pizza with a salad with extra edamame on the side, and dark chocolate for dessert.
- 11pm - Fall asleep reading this book:

| Light and fluffy - just what I need :) |
How was your Wednesday?
What a busy day you had but it sounded like a fun one! Your breakfast really does look great :)
ReplyDeleteyou're doing a fantastic job. i've been reflecting- a lot- recently, and it's easy to be hard on ourselves and think how far we still have to go. be it on your journey, on a career path, on an emotional path... whatever. we frequently fail to acknowledge how far we've already come
ReplyDeletei love that you speak in a way where you feel enthusiasm and keeness to keep in the present 'happy' mood- rather than over-thinking what's to come or what's been
much much better to do carpe diem!
