My first run in months!

Happy Monday! Gosh yesterday was gorg out!! I wish we had an extra day of the 85 degree weather. The vitamin D felt amazing! I was able to spend some time outside with great friends (Hunter, Nate, Dragon, Kenoe, etc.) which got me very excited for summer. I really can't handle another day of snow or cold...

We walked all over the place yesterday too. That's what I love about Chicago! The weather gets nice and there are people everywhere! The restaurant patios get busy by noon and fruity cocktails come out for the season. We were going to do the fish bowl, but passed. I am not sure any of us would feel good today if we did that.

I do have to say that my legs were a bit sore yesterday while walking around. I finally got my booty to the gym for a run! It felt great. I should have gone outside, but I just wasn't sure what my foot could handle. Luckily the Aleve kicked in and I was able to get through 2+ miles. Seems like a short distance, but I do not care. It felt great! I also plan on going for a run/walk tonight with Kate.

I am excited for this week. I am not traveling, we are going to the Bulls game on Wednesday night, meeting some friends for dinner on Thursday and celebrating Kenoe's birthday on Saturday. I wish it were the weekend already :).

Even though it will be a busy week, we made it to the grocery store last night and I plan on eating healthy (cutting back on some silly carbs too) all week. I also packed my breakfasts and lunches for the week and have no reason to spend additional money on food outside of my plans :).

My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - Egg whites, soy sausage and slice of cheese
Snack - Pepperjack string cheese
Lunch - V8 Buttersquash soup and 5 Morningstar Buffalo Nuggets
Snack - Banana
Dinner - TBD. I have some veggie burgers at home that sound tasty, but we have some chicken in the fridge from our dinner last night. Looks like Monster and I may be cooking two different meals tonight.

Lastly, I would like to wish my mom a very happy birthday!! I wish I could be in DSM celebrating with her today :(.

Have a nice night!
