Mother Earth!

I ended up running

  • 4.51miles
  • 45min 01sec
I thought it was a little overcast today...WRONG. It was soo hot and I was super sweaty when I got home so I refueled with some coconut water.  To be honest...I don't LOVE the taste of coconut water but I like how it makes me feel post run.  It isn't super sugary like some drinks and I actually feel good when I drink it.  Try it!

I hate waking up late because then I end up skipping a snack.  When I got back from my run..it was around 12 and I had to go to work around 2 today...so...I had lunch.

Sorry about this pic..not the most appetizing  but it was delish.
  • slice of whole wheat toast with stone ground mustard
  • bison frank
  • carrots and bean dip
  • Pacific Tomato Soup

For a snack I packed some whole grain crackers, a banana with barney butter and a salad made from 
  • cucumbers
  • tomato
  • onion
  • olive oil
  • lemon 
  • salt and pepper
I ate about 1/2 the salad.

I was STILL hungry despite the large snack.  That's what happens to me when I skip my mid-morn snack.  I get uncontrolably hungry.  I don't mean to skip snacks..it's just hard because I have to eat lunch by 2:30..when you wake up at 9:30 (like I did today!! SO LATEE I KNOW!!)..its hard.

For din, I stopped at Mother Earth...the hot bar was more than lacking.  All the good stuff was gone! I saw some sort of spinach lasagna thing and got all excited...only to find the little thing empty. UGH!!  So..I went to their Macro/Vegan stuff and got:
  • Thai Dumplings (really good...the filling was like a vegetarian egg roll filling)
  • Sesame Noodles (just had a few..but really good)
  • BBQ Tofu.  I decided I just dont like this..too chewy. cool, just wasted $5
  • Salad (that I topped with some smoked salmon...a tiny piece)

This is a pic of the dumplings and the sesame noodles.


ate about 1/2 the salad.


I felt snacky post dinner so I had a few Stacy's Bare Naked Pita Chips (about 4), a Cliff Nectar Cacao Bar (this was for dessert) and a small bowl of Flax Cereal with Skim Milk.

Review:
Not that great.  It was fine...but I much perfer the reg Cliff Bars.  This bar reminded me of the Cliff Z bars...but I like the Z bars better.  I don't think i'll buy them again although reg Cliff bars (along with Larabars) are my absolute faves.

Now, I am going to go be a boy and watch the Gator Game on ESPN..then watch some girly shows like real housewives and such.  Oh and maybe i'll get around the reading.

  2. I LOVE Mother Earth! And I tried some Coconut Water today and really did not like it either. I think I will be dumping it in my smoothies because I don't want to waste it and throw it away. Or maybe I'll give it another shot some time soon :)
