Ok, so as of this post you are still calorie counting. Got it.
Random, but I love that photo of the clementine on the text of the newspaper. And wait, I only count those as 40 calories each! What?!
Pinot Noir is my favorite wine ever. I bet that was delicious.

I’m with you on the tiredness. I’m looking forward to sleeping in this weekend! Your food looks delish, nonetheless.

Sorry you’ve been having some bad runs. It’s been an off week for me too. I thought the nice weather would be motivating, but it hasn’t worked out that way. I’ll send you motivational vibes if you send me some

I know it’s been said before but there are good runs and there are bad runs – dont get discouraged! At least you made it to the gym in the first place – and look how far you’ve come since you started running to begin with!

What energizes me is some or a combination of the following:
- 7-8 hours of sleep
- soaking up some sunshine
- vigorous exercise
- no more than 1-2 cups of caffeinated beverages a day
- plenty of colors on my plate

Sometimes I feel a bit “off” when all of these things aren’t happening in my life

sometimes when i put too much pressure on myself with running it loses its fun factor. i have been a runner for 20 years, some competitive, some not. right now, i run for fun, but i find that when i get too focused on a goal (a race or weekly mileage goal), i get too wrapped up in the goal at the cost of the fun of the process. i need to remind myself i am not an olympic athlete, i don’t need to meet some (self- imposed) standard- i just need to go out there and have fun, whatever that is. when i think like this, things usually fall into place.

haha your morning smoothies totally look like beers in those glasses. i believe they once belonged to me when we lived in the same apartment? hmmmm how did they make the move all the way to MA

i usually nap a lot during the weekend, and my work weeks are more energetic ( not sure if the two are actually connected).

I bet your 5K will do a lot of good in terms of re-energizing you. Running in a different environment, with all of the excitement and energy that comes with a race, will be great!

Your smoothie looks great! I find myself super tired a lot and try to get more sleep and drink more caffeine. Not sure if it’s the healthiest way to revive but it works for me!
