I can't believe that it is already Sunday. Why do these weekends go by so quickly. I could really use one more day, or two, ok - I'm ready for Spring Break to be here.
Austin was in St. Louis for work all week and got trapped there longer than planned with the snow - so I was happy to great him late Friday night as he finally made it home!
Saturday's long run consisted of my favorite new running shirt and a new path.
Afterward I had lunch with some Team people then headed home to get ready to go to another fundraiser. My best friend Dee came up and I forced her to come out and taste wine and chocolate with me, even though she had an anesthesia board exam for dental hygiene this morning that she had to wake up for. (I promise you she is responsible and didn't drink too much!)

Since we were downtown we did the thing that I LOVE to do whenever we are there. Eat some Salt and Straw Ice Cream. It was delicious as always. Their Olive Oil ice cream is fantastic!

Do you plan your week ahead in meals?
What snacks do you pack/eat?
What fun events did you have this weekend?
Wow, way to plan ahead! I don't plan meals for the whole week, just normally buy a bunch of ingredients I know we like and try to use them while they're fresh. And we've had 1/8 of a cow in our freezer from a local grassfed beef farm that we've been using so it's just a matter of getting out a pound or two to thaw--just have to plan a couple days ahead. (I just started eating meat and butter--grassfed only--again after years of being vegan so it's a whole new world! I've been excited to try new recipes, so that keeps me going meal planning-wise!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic run!! And, love the new gear :D
ReplyDeleteI don't plan meals ahead of time..definitely a day to say basis. I always pack loots of fruits for snacks!
I try to plan ahead, it helps with the last minute what do we eat! My favorite snacks are granola, fruit and yogurt, and homemade protein granola bars.
ReplyDeleteI love planning meals for the week! We do leftovers for most lunches as well. One of our go-to breakfasts are "protien packs" We boil eggs, do mini bagels w/ peanut butter, apple slices, grapes, almonds, and cheddar. They keep us full for a long time. We also like to do almonds/cashews for snacks.
ReplyDeleteLove the running shirt!
ReplyDeleteOlive Oil ice cream sounds scary, btw. I think I'd be open to a bite, though!
I love meal planning (use eMeals, it's great)! It's the one area in my life where I feel like I can be organized. I packed an entire freezer bag full of snacks for the week (I'm traveling a lot). Nuts, protein bars and protein shakes I can make on the road. Nothing too crazy, but keeps me on track!
Stewed chicken and polenta sounds so good. Thanks for linking up! Snacks- I love apples with almond butter, trail mix, veggies and hummus... I need to do hard-boiled eggs more often, I always forget about that option!
ReplyDeletePlanning meals for the week is all that keeps me sane and eating healthy. Otherwise, it'd be pizza, nachos, and pasta every night. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the running shirt! I can't remember a time when I didn't menu plan for the week. For snacks I seem to be on a roll with heating edamame hummus with E2 crackers and protein bars.
