Eat. Play. Blog.

Hello form frigid Texas once again. I wanted to start off by thanking you all SO VERY much for the comments in my last post. They were honest, heart felt, and just LOVELY! I will be looking back at those comments weekly for sure. Such encouragement!

Okay okay, mushy love is over. Let’s talk Wednesday. So I’ve been dying to participate in Jen’s What I Ate Wednesday, but have to yet to find time to photograph all my food. HUGE PROPS to all of you who do it daily! I try to set it up all nice and pretty but I end up taking bites and messing it up, ha! I’m all about recipe photos but I am so impatient with my regular meals. Anyway, Jen so kindly have me the go ahead to “tweak” whatever I needed to make it work. That being said, I decided to do a What I Worked (out) Wednesday and the Best thing I ate Wednesday! Just roll with it, k?



Best thing I ate Nutritionally……..

You better believe it! give me Greens! Pomegranate Mango Amazing Grass Meal with banana, coconut juice, and Vanilla Hemp Milk.

Best thing I ate that I savored……………..

Homemade Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin PB Bread Pudding. I will be posting this recipe ASAP).

Best thing I ate that’s LOCALLY made or farmed…………………

Gotta love Texas Tamales!Handmade Black Bean Tamales, spinach salad (locally grown) , cauliflower/potato mash.

Now for the fun part.

What I worked today……..the DREADMILL!

Hills and thrills:

- Warm up 1 mile  0.5% incline

Main Set: (keep speed at half marathon to 10k pace the whole time )

- 1 minute 0.5%, 1 minute 1%, 1 minute 0.5%, 1 minute 1.5%, 1 minute 0.5%, do this pattern until you get to 3.5% or 4%. Recovery 2 minutes at 0.5% at the end of the full set.

- Repeat 3-4x

- Cool down 5-10 minutes at 0% or 0.5% then get your butt of the treadmill and stretch for 10 minutes!

Beautiful! Done and Done!

Now its time for a little Modern Family and maybe a glass of this.

I’d say that’s a pretty good Wednesday, eh?

So, share one. What’d ya eat? What’d ya work?

Cheers,
