How has your Thursday been? I’m so happy tomorrow is Friday – I am ready for the weekend. We’re supposed to have beautiful weather this weekend, and I can’t wait!
Work, work…I had a better day today. Maybe knowing Friday is so close?
Lunch was a black bean burger over some whole wheat couscous
and some green beans
Originally, there was also an apple planned for my lunch, but Nick and I decided to go get smoothies today. I’m happy we did!
I got the kids’ size of the Cran-Strawberry. This beauty had: cranberry and strawberry juice, strawberries, blueberries, and some orange sherbert. It was so good! I can’t wait to try another flavor. The kids size is 12 oz, and it was the perfect amount. I don’t think I could drink anymore than this at one time.
It was about 56 degrees when we got home so we went for a run. Nick ran a bit slower with me today and that seemed to help a bit with the cramps, but I still ended up having them for the second 1/2 of our run. I don’t know what else to do / try. I did not eat a banana today, and I tried not to drink too much water or eat anything after 3 so I wouldn’t have too much stuff in my stomach. Ah…so frustrating.
Now dinner….I was excited about dinner.
I pulled some steaks out of the freezer and Nick grilled them along with some red onion.
I made sure to take a picture of it before I sliced mine :)
I made a big salad with this steak and loved every bite.
- 3 cups lettuce
- 1 tomato
- grilled red onion, chopped
- 4 or so black olives, sliced
- about 1 Tbsp feta
- 3 or so oz. steak, diced
- homemade dressing: 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp dijon, salt, pepper, oregano
Perfect way to end today.

So….why is today a Thankful Thursday? Well, I was reading Polly’s post today and thought that would be a good thing to focus on, especially since I need to get myself out of this funk about the job.
Today,

Hang in there with the runs! Maybe it will just take time to resolve.
I’m jealous you got to grill your steaks! I dislike the broiler do much.
