Back to School

Mr. Mal is back to school today! I couldn't tell if he was excited or dreading the first day back. I can't believe the summer flew by so quickly. I feel like it was just June!

Workout

I worked out at home today... well, in our building gym. I'm glad that I can still get a good workout there, especially when I am crunched for time and can't easily go downtown to HW.

This morning, I did a modified version of my trainer's strength workout (2 sets, no leg exercises) and 30 minutes on the elliptical. My legs were a little sore from yesterday's run, so I decided to give them a rest. I was actually surprised at the soreness-- I guess I need to get back into running again. I've been slacking! Maybe I should sign up for a fall race?

Breakfast

I had trouble deciding what to eat for breakfast this morning. (My cravings have been weird lately!) I was in the mood for sweet (surprise!) and chewy, so I automatically thought 'raisins.' (FYI-- This is basically how I build my meals. I think of 1-2 foods that I want to eat, and then create a meal by adding other ingredients from different food groups.)

Breakfast = raisins + honey + Barney Butter + banana slices + whole wheat toast

I cut my sandwich into 4 smaller pieces-- much more fun and easier to eat. I also drank some iced coffee with vanilla hemp milk while eating breakfast and hanging out with Mal before work. (I'm not going to lie, I like that we are back into a routine again!)
