one of those days

Today has just been one of those days so far. It has been extremely disappointing. However, to compensate for this, I have been having wonderful food to make me feel better.

I woke up this morning bright and early at 4:30 - woohoo! I have these kind of nights every once in a while, and I just could not get back to sleep. When I finally got up, I had this bowl of deliciousness waiting for me in the fridge.

my bloobs say "15" because it's 15 days until the wedding!

I didn't want you to get scared and think I wasn't having any peanut butter

First disappointment of the day:

no more oatmeal.

I ran around like a crazy person all morning - I was tired, crabby, and just not having fun. I thought my snack would pick me up before my workout:

zucchini bread (that almond was just sticking there....)

and some almonds x 2

I am so not feeling this zucchini bread. It just did not turn out good. I need to throw it out today. Sad to waste food, but I will regret it every single time I eat it.

I ran a very very hot 3 miles outside around 11 - it was the first time I could fit it in all day, and needed to get it done!

Lunch was so good - it really delivered. Has anyone else ever used hummus as kind of a "binder" or "cheesy" like substance in pasta/rice? I know Caitlin does this, and i used it in my rice today. It was honestly soooo goood. It reminded me of a thick alfredo sauce. I want it again.. tomorrow maybe?

I ate an apple on my way into IKEA...

Two extremely upsetting things happened while I was in IKEA - the first was the mirror I had picked out was actually too big for our bathroom. The second was my cart hitting my heel and chopping off about an inch of my skin. I was extremely embarassed, my foot was bleeding out all over the floor, and they had no bandaids or paper towels (whaaat?). A nice couple gave me napkins and two bandaids, and they had to send a maintenance worker to come and mop up my blood.

If you have a queasy stomach, stop reading right now... No, seriously... just X out before you get all lightheaded.

perfect... running should be a breeze tomorrow

I then had to go to another store, but got onto the wrong highway. Awesome! I also then went to my house, where I saw my door was painted blue. Remember.... it was supposed to be red? Luckily I know that "rojo" means red in Spanish, or else it might have ever gotten straightened out. The blue door will be red tomorrow.

I came home and made a snack which was sure to cure all blues:

you always make me feel better

thanks green monster - i knew i could count on you.

• 1/2 naner
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• 1 handful bloobs
• 2 cups spinach
• lots of ice

I think I need a nap... there's just got to be some connection between my wakeup at 4:30 this morning and how my day has gone so far.

Question: When was the last time you had "one of those days"? What made you feel better?
