Trying for a Tri

Just a little update to let you know that tonight I will be living, not blogging (Mizfit style). Chris and I’s days off actually coincide this week so I’m heading to St. John to go visit him. You see, I can do this now that I have a reliable new car

However, for all you that love the food pictures (really, who doesn’t love food porn?) Here’s how it’s gone down so far…

Breakfast: Oatbran.

• 1/2 cup Quaker oatbran
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tbsp soy protein powder
• cinnamon
• 1 package dried apple crisps
• two hefty scoops Pbu (anyone have the link to the blog of the genius who created this? I’d love to give them some credit!)

Work food.

 
A s’mores Luna as a mid-morning snack. Turkey + tzatziki pita and a gala apple for lunch. Then some carrots, red pepper and hummus for my afternoon snack. Everything else went uneaten. Always better to be over-prepared than under-prepared!

I am LOVIN this President’s Choice tzatziki.

I love the ingredients too:

Yogurt (milk ingredients, bacterial culture, modified milk ingredients), sour cream (milk ingredients, bacterial culture, microbial enzymes), cucumber, canola oil, white vinegar, sea salt, garlic purée (contains canola oil, citric acid), modified corn starch, garlic powder, citric acid.

Aaand, it’s only 50 calories for 2 tbsp, better than a lot of hummus brands!

I just finished gobbling this up for supper:

Sol veggie burger with bruschetta and Kraft tex mex cheese. And some spicy sweet potato chips I made in the microwave and maybe put too much cajun spice on.

Since my trip is last minute, I have to ditch my training for today (was going to finally go on that bike ride). But sometimes you just gotta do some l-i-v-i-n! So instead I’ll likely be eating and drinking with Chris’ co-workers tonight. That’s a fair trade, right? Chris told me to bring my running gear for tomorrow, so I should get something in then.

Oh, and remember how I said if I could be anywhere, I would choose home? Well, I just so happen to have three days off in a row next week, so I get to go!!! I’m super pumped. I’m going to bring my bike and go out with my dad (also a huge cycling enthusiast). I will be awfully embarrassed if I get whipped by a 55-year-old

See ya tomorrow! I’ll be catching up on all your blogs then too
