I Want Fall Back (10.29.2008)

It is like WINTER outside - no fun! Sorry I didnt post at all yesterday - just wasnt feeling like myself. I am still not quite right today, but I wanted to share some of my eats and my run. This cold, windy, horrible weather definitely isnt helping.

I didnt run on Monday or Tuesday, but tonight - I knew I had to get a run in. I bundled up and went out with Kevin and Oscar in the 40 degree, windy weather. About a half mile into the run, it started to sprinkle cold rain. I gave Kevin "a look" and he knew I wasnt going to be into the cold, rainy run for long. But, we kept going and it eventually stopped. We ended up getting a 3 miler in which felt great.

Backing up a little bit, breakfast this morning was egg white with swiss cheese on a whole wheat "light" english muffin. I was happy to see these on sale the other day. (no pic)

Snacks today were a banana, orange, and a PB Zbar, which I really liked! I hated the chocolate brownie one I tried a few days ago, but when I bit into this flavor, I knew I had found a winner. loved it.Lunch was leftover Turkey Lasagna, which I made yesterday using the Barefoot Contessa's recipe. It turned out pretty good and the recipe can be found HERE. The only change I made was to use Part-Skim ricotta. This picture is taken of the cold leftovers, so it isnt the most appetizing picture, but I swear it tasted good.I also had 3 chocolate chip cookies that I made yesterday too. No picture, but they were delicious. Such a weakness for me.

Dinner tonight was a new one for me. I bought veggie burgers for the FIRST TIME EVER. I know that is probably weird to some. I have been seeing them alot on different blogs and have ordered them out, but never bought them to have at home. I bought this brand and was very happy with it!I served it on a toasted WW english muffin with swiss cheese. It tasted SO good and even Kevin liked it! I also sauteed up some broccoli in EVOO, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. This was a great combo and really left the crunch in the broccoli, which is the way I like them. Hate mushy broccoli. Glass of pinot grigio to go with dinner in my stemless wine glass from the wine festival a few weeks back.I am currently roasting up some Acorn Squash with light butter and brown sugar, so I cant wait to try them in a little bit. I hope everyone has a great night - stay warm! (for those of you dealing with this cold weather!) My heat isnt working, so I am staying warm with a space heater right now. Need to call someone tomorrow because I dont know how many more layers I can put on.
