Another week almost over. Only one day left and then the weekend! Woohoo! This morning it was cold and icy. Leaving super earlier before the bulk of the traffic is great because you don’t have to deal with the dumb people who don’t know how to drive in the first place let alone when the weather is a little off. Thank you workout schedule for allowing me at least one sane drive on my commute each day.
Only did 60 minutes at the gym today (3.58 miles on the treadmill). I was going to go longer but I was having an upset stomach so I decided that an hour is good right? I mean every other day this week I have done 90 or more minutes so one day at a little less won’t kill me. Besides this morning when I was getting dressed I realized I had not washed any gym pants so I had none to wear and put on capri’s haha…not the most comfortable work out attire in the world. I am still sticking with it and going to the gym that is what counts.
Today work hasn’t been quite as slow as it had been earlier in the week which is nice. Too slow makes the day drag on so. Still it hasn’t been as busy as I would like to make the day go by super fast. It was slow enough that I spent a lot of time thinking about food today.
Not thinking about food in the “Oh My God I have to eat everything” or “I AM SO HUNGRY” but just thinking about different foods I should explore. Sometimes I feel like I eat the same things over and over and I should be expanding my horizons. More variety so I don’t get bored. I’m thinking being bored may be what is going on with my burnt out feeling with my new eating habits. I don’t know. I need to find time and money to try new recipes.
In one of the audio books I just finished listening to while working out the guy is a vegan and in the end of the book when it went over the appendixes he was talking about his diet and different things that are good alternatives to the same thing that people eat when they are not vegan. He made mention of chocolate pudding he makes using avocados and how his kids love it. I was intrigued so I started looking up recipes for this and found tons of them. One I found in a blog post where the lady posted pictures and described it so well made me start wanting to run home and make it (although I don’t have the ingredients) haha. So I was texting my mom about the recipe. She tells me how gross it sounds. I told her “well I don’t know what I have read says it’s really good and the avocado gives it the nice pudding texture.” So she had all the ingredients on hand and I emailed her the recipe and she tried it. She said it was really good. So now I know I definitely have to get the ingredients and try it soon.
Here is the pudding she made (yes blurry picture with the dirty blender in it too but what the heck I haven’t posted many pictures lately so this can use one).
I also really like a good veggie burger. I don’t mean the boxed ones at the grocery store like boca or garendburger (although some of the varieties of them taste good) but the kind that taste homemade. I have found some really good ones at different places I have been out to eat. However they can be expensive…or more expensive than I want to pay. So I have been looking up veggie burger recipes and after the first of the year I think I am going to go on a mission to try different recipes at home until I find the one I think is perfect.
Anyway these are my ambitions today. Everything is subject to change so tomorrow this could all be different!
