I Escaped and ate a Grown Up PBandJ!

I made it out of Maryland last night. I didn't get home until LATE and I was exhausted so no post yesterday. The airport was packed yesterday afternoon - everyone was trying to get out before the "blizzard". It's hitting now. Glad I'm back in SC where it is yucky but not frozen.




So on the plane yesterday I was reading Runner's World magazine. It suggested whole wheat toast and jelly for a quick breakfast before a morning run. The jelly gives you that much needed immediate energy rush when you haven't eaten since dinner the night before. So this morning I had 1 piece of toast, my Maranatha Raw Organic Almond Butter, and 1/2 tsp of Smuckers Strawberry fruit spread. I ran my fastest time ever! 3.68 miles in 40 minutes which is 1 mile every 10:53 minutes. (Ok I didn't say it was THE fastest time ever, just MINE!) I did 200 crunches and stretched. I also had a protein drink afterwards to reward my muscles.




Update on the alegebra front: My daughter made a 100 on a quiz!!! This is not a full test but still, we've never seen a 100 in Algebra. She's also opening up to the idea of moving to the Advanced class. I'm glad because I still think this is going to be the best thing for her but we'll see.

So I am extremely happy it is Friday! I won't even tell you what we are having for dinner because it is so bad you just won't be able to see me as a "healthy" person - LOL!! But tomorrow I am hoping for a 3 mile WALK, upper and lower body work out, and some nice down time. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

On the Road Again

And the air. Today I flew to MD for work and evidently I am one of a select few people willing to break INTO the state this week. I was upgraded to first class on the plane, the bags came off 30 minutes faster than usual and I was actually in my rental car on my way in less than 45 minutes after landing! That NEVER happens.

A HUGE record breaking snow storm is headed to this state on Friday night. So I'm going to get the heck out of here by tomorrow afternoon. This is a nice place to visit but no place to be stuck with only 1 change of underwear!

So I tried some Whey Isolate Protein powder in my greek yogurt this morning and WOW - that's what I should have been doing. I used the strawberry and it was SO good. Much better than the banana and blue agave. I kept my eating pretty clean the rest of the day with a ham sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch, naval orange for a snack and a Wendy's salad for dinner. Not bad for traveling.



I spoke with my daughter's teacher again today and we really think moving her to another class would be beneficial all around for her. The catch? She doesn't want to. She's afraid of what her friends will say. Now keep in mind we are talking about moving her from Honors Algebra to Advanced Algebra not some huge demotion! So we're going to wait until mid-term and if she doesn't have a solid grasp by that time, we'll make the change regardless of her opinion. I think it's just too much pressure for her and heaven knows she shouldn't have this much pressure at her age. We have years and years to get this algebra stuff down! This is the focus on the healthy mind.

Well I'm off to bed. When you stay in a hotel with only 1 treadmill in the fitness center, you have to get up pretty early to get a spot on it! Good night everyone.
