School has taken over my life! I was only able to run 2x last week and have been relying on multiple energy/nutrition bars each day (aka meals/snacks on the go) to get me through. Need to rethink my school/health balance.
Winner winner chicken dinner aka the last supper (I can’t have any solid food tomorrow in preparation for a medical procedure… :’( sob.) Also, too tired to use regular plates so paper it is.

Didn’t have too much time to post yesterday but rest assured I had a killer day at the gym. I did arms along with some squats, lunges, stretching and abs. All the good stuff :)
Last night ARD and I went on a date to a french restaurant in our neighborhood. It was indulgent - rose, scallops in butter sauce, gazpacho, smoked salmon, heirloom tomato salad, chicken paillard, and a decadent butterscotch creme (basically butterscotch pudding with whipped cream and hot fudge).
Just thought I’d let you know that while I eat healthy 98% of the time (because I LOVE the way it feels), I also know the importance of savoring a decadent meal with my husband on a special Wednesday night.

I may not have worked out today but I ate super healthy and delicious food… gym first thing in the morning :)
Extra slow run along the extra crowded beach. Chicago has an air and water show every summer and people literally camp out along the lakeshore to picnic and take in the sights. There were planes dive bombing and swirling around as I was running which slowed me down considerably since I kept looking up at all the action. I’ll count this as my “recovery” run for the week :)
