I started off the day with a cup of coffee and a green smoothie made of, spinach, kale, apple, pear, banana, chia seeds and a splash of OJ. I love green smoothies, they always taste so fresh and it’s a great way to pack in those greens for the day! I made enough to even have some later for a snack.
For lunch I had some green chile chicken stew from the Range Cafe, one of my favorite places here in Albuquerque. Could have used a little more chile, needed to turn up the heat a little bit, I like it HOT!
I sit at a desk for 12 hours a day and sometimes it’s hard not to head over to the kitchen when I need a break and grab a snack. I did pretty well today in the snack department. Had some mate to fight the 2:00 head bobbing, trying to stay awake and focused. That apple has been siting on my desk now for a week, decided it was time to eat it.
For dinner I had a piece of salmon on some leftover quinoa salad I made Sunday night and some baby kale. I love this baby kale, I use it in smoothies and salads all the time. I also bought a huge bag of it at Costco, so I am trying to eat as much as possible before it goes bad. I bought A LOT of baby kale!
Yesterday I also signed up for Monica’s Pile on the Miles. Which is an online challenge to walk or run more in November. You sign up, set a goal, log your weekly mileage on a shared Google doc, and get entered to win some sweet new running gear. Plus it’s a great way to keep yourself moving, so you can eat more pumpkin pie! It is free, and open to anyone so head on over there, sign up ends October 31, DO IT!
My goal is 70 miles for the month on November, which is about 15-16 miles a week. Hope I win something because mama needs a new pair of shoes!
