It is cold and raining, but I’m about to go on a run with my little running group. This is when support like that counts! I’m not going to lie, I feel pretty hardcore even attempting this 
We’ll see if this changes once I actually get wet, hehe.
Yesterday was another great day of eats. I am being very mindful, and it makes me happy! So far, so good. Let’s see how I did…
BREAKFAST
1 Ezekiel english muffin with crunchy Barney Butter, warmed up frozen mixed berries + a dollop of nonfat yogurt
I love creamy yogurt over warm berries and BB! Absolutely delicious 
PRE-WORKOUT SNACK
Not bad (nothing earth shattering either) – a solid granola bar with no junk ingredients. Sounds good.
My workout was a spin class, followed by 5 minutes of jump rope (just for a little somthin’ somthin’ extra ). I definitely felt the fact that it’s been over a week since my last spinning class. I was kind of dying in there… looking forward to getting back into it
LUNCH
Leftover pasta with shrimp
Still delicious! Is that a hair in there?!!
I think that’s the cheese melting… let’s hope so! 
MID-AFTERNOON SNACKS
Light organic string cheese for some protein + fat
And later, a brownie with cherries
Btw, to make the brownies, I used TJ’s brownies truffle mix, subbing 4oz of nonfat yogurt for 1 stick of butter + adding dried cherries. There are huge chocolate chips in there, so the brownies are crazy indulgent tasting. No need for butter for sure!
DINNER
2 tacos with tofu, avocado, hummus and roasted red peppers
+ another brownie (see pic above) for good measure
All right, I’m off to get wetttttt. See you later, alligators! 
Having a group definitely makes it easier to get motivated for a difficult workout. I’d usually sit out a run if it’s raining but knowing people are depending on me makes all the difference.
I just found your blog and LOVE your eats~ literally, I would have been ecstatic to eat every single thing that you did today! Especially that breakfast! Yum yum yum!
Support is what keep me going. Hope you have a great run lady!
your breakfast looks AMAZING! how are those english muffins?
Wait. Your running in this mess outside?! You totally are hardcore
Good for you! And way to go on the mindful eating. I have been trying that too and it feels so empowering!
It was SO much better to have fun people to run with. Let’s do it again soon
Enjoy your weekend!
Woah, congrats on running in the rain! I HATE it! The only time I ran in the rain was during races, and I was not happy
So kudos to you! Your breakfast looks delicious, and so does the brownie 
Have a great weekend!
I am so behind on your blog. I’m so sorry. I hope we can still be friends
As usual all this food looks fantastic. I think of all the food bloggers, I have a similar eating style/tastes to you. All of your food always looks like stuff I would like to eat!
Hope you have been well!
that breaky of yours looks fab!

Erin – definitely! I totally was secretly hoping they’ll all cancel last minute, but at the end was so happy I went!!
Emily – thanks so much! It was definitely a very yummy day
Out of curiosity, how did find my blog?
Katie – they are totally my favorite. They are really “meaty” (i.e. wholesome) and I really love that about them. Whole grains at their best
Caroline – yes, we all ran in that mess outside. Definitely lots of puddles and we were all completely soaking wet, but sooooo worth it!
Meghan – I’m so glad you came out. Hope you join us again soon… I want to hear more about your marathon and travel experiences!!
Anne – I think I would be upset if it was raining this bad during a race, but on a random day, no biggie when a bunch of friends join you
The breakfast was definitely awesome 
Lara – we can still be friends
I hate running in the rain, but I maybe running in it tomorrow :/ I am thinking of a full marathon, but a nervous because of a lack of consistant training support.
That pasta looks delish!
I can barely run inside- you are such a badass for running in the rain! Hope you enjoy your weekend!
You all are hard core! I though about you while I did my 7 miles on the warm, dry treadmill! Next time for sure!
