FOOD

Green juices or smoothies are the general order every day now.  My smoothie on Tuesday was especially green, so that garnered some interesting comments when I showed up in an early morning meeting with it.  From people turning into nutritionists “what do you mean, you don’t put protein powder in there, you should!”, to “I could never drink that”.  It’s always a talking point though…

Tuesday’s green smoothie. Pre-blending of course, but it was a beautiful and bright green

green juice. romaine, cucumber, apple, lemon, and ginger. Back to basics on this one.

I made a split pea soup for weekday lunches, so that’s been good.  Celery, onion, carrot, garlic, kale, and my homemade broth (which is now gone!).

FITNESS

I went for a run before work yesterday, and I swear someone should have called the running fashion police.  It was a cold morning (about 35) and I always screw up dressing for the cold.  I was like a flashback out of the Rocky movies!  Sweatpants, long sleeve turtleneck-type shirt, and a thick hoodie.  And a hat and gloves.  I didn’t feel like a runner…or at least like I was dressed like one.  But I stayed warm, and I guess that’s mostly the point!

LIFE

Not much to tell the past few days.  It’s certainly been busy and mostly late nights.  The early part of the week are like that.  Late meetings, work events, etc.  I have one tonight too, but it’s earlier than usual, so I think that I’ll still be home at a relatively reasonable hour!

For now, I’m going to run again this morning, probably look like a reject from an 80′s boxing movie, and then hustle off to work!
