Blank

My brain is drawing a blank.

 

I can’t think of a single thing to type. Weird? Maybe this is a good thing. I can start fresh tomorrow with a clean slate!

 

Lunch was an old favorite of mine.

Classic meal, but never gets old.

 

Tomato soup + Roasted Carrot and Zucchini:

Grilled cheese sandwich:

…and two little Peanut butter cups for dessert.

This afternoon, I nibbled on a homemade pumpkin scone.

Before leaving for school, I had dinner part one: sweet potato with brown sugar and cinnamon.

By the time I got back, I was in need of dinner part two:

Vegetable and shrimp bowl: Peppers, broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts. Topped with shrimp and sesame seeds.

Playing around with the camera…

Off to bed for me. It’s raining and I love the sound… perfect for sleeping.

Truly Hungry

For some freak reason I have been REALLY hungry today.

 

There’s no explanation. I haven’t been doing much the past four days, haven’t been running, and have barely been walking actually.

Sometimes, I think that my brain thinks I’m hungry… but the idea of something healthy, like an apple doesn’t sound good. Only chocolate, or whatever.

If I’m TRULY hungry, something healthy usually sounds WAY more appealing then something unhealthy.

That was the case today. I chose to honor my hunger. While I would like to (in theory) eat slightly less then when I’m running, my body doesn’t like that idea so much. It growled, and I listened!

 

It started off with being hungry way before lunch, even with green smoothie and a CLIF bar in my tummy. This brought back an old habit of mine:

 

Elevensies: The snack eaten right before your lunch when its either that or your arm. Don’t ask where it came from, it will just prove that I am a nerd.

Anyway… for elevensies… I had a honeycrisp apple. Nom nom.

Lunch was inspired by something I saw Lindsey come up with a few days ago. My mouth was watering just looking at her pictures.

I sautéed asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, and chickpeas in a bit of EVOO and sprinkled them with some lemon pepper and garlic salt. Along with it, a serving of couscous, cooked in veggie broth for extra flavor. YUM!

I gobbled that stuff UP!

My afternoon snack was also larger than normal. Breakfast sized yogurt with 1 cup cereal, blueberries, and pomegranate. Me likes.

Two hours later… dinner numero uno:

But, don’t let those few fish fool you.

I definitely went back for a few more…

Twice.  😀

Once I got to class, everything was going great. But that soon changed.

By the time 8:00 pm rolled around my stomach was like digesting itself. On my 5-minute break, I hobbled downstairs to get something from the vending machine, only to find that my friend who works at Chick-fil-a just got off work with a big bag of chicken sandwiches.

Two seconds of watching me hobble around and he gave me a free sandwich. SCORE!

I kid you not. It was delicious.

Unfortunately I have no picture, but I’m pretty darn sure that I was done with that sammie by 8:03 pm.

My tummy is finally happy.

 

Does anyone else have random unexplained hunger days?
