You know those days that absolutely fly by?  The kind when you look at the clock and can’t believe three hours just disappeared?

Today wasn’t one of those days.  It dragged so very slowly.  I entertained myself with eating.  This is probably the first day in about five months that I’ve felt that though, so I guess it’s about time.

Unlike my work day, my run this morning went by pretty quick.  I like sleeping in on Wednesdays but I slept well and my alarm went off and I was ready to go!  But of course, a snack was needed.

This was before half nan + almond butter construction.

I ran about 6 and a quarter kilometres and felt pretty good.  The weather was beautiful.  The sun was just coming up and it looked like a giant fireball – a sign of a hot day to come. 

A smoothie was in order after my walk to work.  Here it is, pre-blending.  I’m all about the before shots today.

1 c. unsweetened chocolate almond milk + 1/2 c. frozen berries + 1/4 c. raw oats + 1/2 scoop Amazing Grass.

So today’s entertainment was:

Last night’s leftovers were the highlight, hands down.  I also dug half a Clif bar out of my purse.  Like I said, boring day.  Eating out of boredom was in full force.  Plus, Clifs are delish.

I walked home in 35+ weather (yeah!!) and then sat by the pool.  Tihs is why working out in the morning is awesome – the rest of the day is yours to do whatever you want, including pool lounging.

Cooking wasn’t happening and I didn’t want to stand in front of the bbq.  A cold salad sounded perfect.

Lots of tom chunks + cukes + avocado + sprouts + red onion + lemon juice + sea salt + pepper + basil.

And a side of blue corn chips + salsa.

Ready in – ten minutes.  Eaten in – less than five.  Scary.

And then it was banana soft serve time!  Topped with some raspberry jam… what could be better? 

And then I had some granola blobs – but if I’m going to be honest, I should probably admit that there were about 1000 handfuls that looked like this. 

There’s an addictive substance in these.  My first guess is the peanut butter.

Tomorrow is a big day!  I have a consultation with a specialist about my tummy turbulence.  It’s just a preliminary meeting so I know nothing much will come of this first visit, but hopefully I’ll have a different type of test ordered which can lead to some answers.  My tummy is tired, and I’m tired of my tummy.  Maybe tomorrow is the beginning of the end!

A girl can dream.

Off to make some tea, read blogs, watch bad television, make my lunch… the usual evening stuff.  … and that likely includes another snack.
