Happy Wednesday y’all! Have a hankering for pizza? Check out my review of South Perry Pizza on Foodbeat NW!

workouts:
My oh my am I slacking on my workouts! Specifically, I’m having a terrible time motivating myself to run. In fact, I skipped my long run this weekend and instead went on an enjoyable hike through Riverside State Park with the hubs and pup instead. It was pretty beautiful. But I need to get back on the bandwagon and get my bootay in gear, otherwise I am going to be miserable during my half marathon. Boo!
eating:
My eating is all over the place. We hit up The Flying Goat 3 days in a row last week. Ummm, yeah. I also had the aforementioned McDonalds and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. I’m still not eating any candy, but I’m not eating healthy by any stretch of the imagination. When I get stressed, I eat. I’m trying to focus on running and strength training to get the extra amped up energy to release itself, but it isn’t working.
feeling:
I’m feeling pretty lethargic to be honest. I had some blood tests run a few days ago, and am hoping to hear back soon. I’m assuming nothing to be alarmed about, but things are all sorts of off lately. So aside from that, I know if I focus on the above to areas a tad more, this area will fall into place.

Today’s meals are totally not going to be photographed. After today there is only 1 day (3 hours, actually, not even a full-day) left in the 2010-2011 school year, and I know I won’t have time to photograph anything I eat. Will I even have time to eat? Thank goodness for Larabars!
So instead, you get Weekend eats today. Weekend eats are much prettier (and often more enjoyable) than work-day eats, wouldn’t you agree?
Saturday breakfast:
Pumpkin pie oatmeal: oats, vanilla, cinnamon, vanilla almond milk, chia seeds, 2 TBS canned pumpkin, 2 TBS raisins, 2 TBS pecans
Saturday Lunch:
Cantelope, dill pickle spears and a black forest ham sammie on carmelized onion rye bread I picked up at the Spokane Public Market this weekend
Seltzer spiked with frozen pineapple chunks and fresh pineapple sage from our, (ahem, The Hubsgarden. Really. I have a black thumb) garden.
Lunchtime reads:
Bitter End by Jennifer Brown. I finished it, but it was a difficult read.
Dinner (all grilled by The Hubs)
Lemon mustard grilled salmon on a cedar plank
Grilled Romanze potatoes, picked up at the farmers market that morning, tossed with olive oil, s&p, green onions and chives from our garden.
Interlude for a little movie action.

And a little Flying Goat snackage afterward:
Housemade A Street Chips with Murray Salt and Vinegar
And some of this may, or may not, have been consumed.

Thank you for the details on what goes into your pumpkin pie oatmeal. It might be in my near future!

Of course
ohmygosh the salmon looks to. die. for! I’ve got to invest in a cedar plank eh? =)
Costco!
I love the oats idea. Got to get on that. and don’t sweat it (literally!) about not working out like a fiend. Everyone falls in and out of it- go with your body!!
I’m loving the dinner idea. Those potatoes look amazing! I love potatoes grilled so much. Sounds like your hubby did you a fancy one tonight !
bahahaha I’m going to pretend like I’m not sitting here eating ice cream out of the carton
haha but I’ve never seen that Ben and Jerry’s flavor! YUM!
Sometimes I don’t feel like running either. Like some days I do, somedays I don’t! (Although… more days I don’t, haha)
Outa the carton just tastes better, dontyathink?
Okay I’ve got to say that your photography is so good!! What kind of camera do you use?
Congrats on almost being done with school!! Summer feels soooo good.
*blushing* thanks
I have a canon rebel T1i and a powershot for my point n shoot. I love ‘em both!
Famous star with extra pickles for breakfast (I had a slight hangover).
Oh no! Do pickles help? What is famous star?
I had ice cream from McDonalds after my beloved Canucks lost, made the loss a bit more bearable!
