What I ate Monday

Today was an interesting day. I decided to keep myself busy and attempted at making my little sister's Halloween costume. Does anyone have a clue of what it might be?

I'll post the end product later

I also tried to create a new recipe. It was a success! 

Does anyone else watch documentaries? I swear I have watched Hungry For Change like 109029420342 times. I am actually watching it right now as I type. Thank-goodness I can type without looking at the keyboard so I can technically zone out. 

I also went for a 6 mile run, and as I was running I finally decided that I was taking the plunge and running the LA Marathon in March. I ran it last year and did horrible, I want to redeem myself and train smart this time. I am trying to develop my own training plan so with me luck. Also with that, I actually convinced one of my college buddies to run a race with me. I'm letting her pick the race, but it would be nice to have someone else run and go through the pain at the same time. 

Before I go for a run, I cut up a bunch of fruit so I can put in my sisters' school lunch boxes. I also leave some around for my baby sister to eat. I have a few random slices while chopping it.

I also take a bite size nut bar with me while I walk my sister to school  

Enter: Run 6-7 miles (today was 6)

Get home to a delicious bowl of oatmeal with chopped (FRESH) Washington apples, cinnamon, and soy-milk 

Then I read some post, catch up on gossip, check e-mails and finally do some yoga or low impact cardio. Today was low impact cardio. 

I then had a snack of

1/2 apple, celery, and PB

 

Lunch was something similar to this....I forgot to take a pic......Homemade bread, carrots (no cucumbers), homemade applesauce hummus, Peanut butter, and left over stir fry veggies. 

A green smoothie and water. 

Then I went to work on my sister's Halloween costume 

Then I walked two miles to pick up my sister from school. 

I came home and had a snack of air-popped popcorn, homemade applesauce with chia seeds and a mini banana. 

I then tried a new recipe that I made up on a whim. 

It was pretty tasty. 

Pumpkin noodles, sweet potato, and salad with homemade applesauce hummus. 

Dessert was an Washington apple, Peanut butter, cereal (iron alert!) 

Some pictured chocolate to finish the day!
