What I Ate Wednesday

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day here in Michigan!  I had a 5 mile run on the to do list so after doing a few housework chores in the morning the kiddos and I headed out to enjoy the weather.

I am blessed to have a metropark a couple miles from our house and I love going there to run.  They have an 8 mile bike/hike trail through the woods.  I love that I can run there and not worry about cars or crazy dogs.  I loaded the two younger kids into our Burley jogging stroller and did a 5 mile run on the trail.  After the run we went to the playground and played for while.

I am running the Grand Rapids half marathon on Oct 21.  I signed up with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training in the spring and have raised over $1300.  Only a few more weeks until the race!

I missed taking pictures of a couple of my meals but I actually remembered to take a picture of my breakfast!  And it is really hard to make oatmeal look good in pictures.

Breakfast was the standard oatmeal with banana, peanut butter, flax seed, and almond milk.

I actually didn’t have a morning snack. By the time we got back from the park it was time for lunch.

Lunch was leftover curried carrot soup with a Tofurky turkey sandwich.  I will be posting the recipe for the soup soon!

For an afternoon snack I had a macadamia oat scone that I had made in the morning.  I will be posting the recipe for those later also.

I forgot to take a picture of my dinner.  My oldest daughter is involved in an Adventurer club at our church (kind of like boy scouts or girl scouts) and they had a bowling party in the evening.  The kids ate pizza there but I didn’t want to eat pizza so I quickly ate a burrito before taking the kids to the party.

The burrito had refried beans, lettuce, peppers, tomato, and salsa in a whole wheat tortilla.
