But I once I left work I felt better -- more in control -- and I got some good ideas as I wandered around the produce section of the grocery store. It helps that I feel a bit better today than I did yesterday (no headache, not as tired). So far, so good. Here's what I ate today:
- breakfast -- same smoothie as yesterday (frozen strawberries and blueberries, a banana, handful of walnuts, about 3/4 cup of skim milk, and some spinach) and a few of the homemade potato chips, just because they were that good.
- snack -- half an apple and a handful of baby carrots
- lunch -- leftover brown rice and stir fry veggies
- snack -- a small banana, a handful of the baked edamame
- dinner -- chunks of tomato, avocado and cucumber, tossed with black beans and a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yum!
- dessert -- handful of cantalope chunks
- drinks -- tons and tons of water, plus two swigs of 100% OJ
I also got out for a decent run in my new shoes. Brooks Ravenna 2. Love the bright blue laces!
Man, was I overdue for those. I ran after work, and as I started my run, I realized I had planned on running a speedwork workout at the track. Hmm. Ok, so today's run became a tempo run. I was a little slower on the tempo miles than I'd have liked, but it was decent overall.
So Day 2 is in the books. I feel good about it. And the best part? Realizing that I can have popcorn for a snack!!! Yeah! It occured to me that if I air-pop the popcorn, it's just corn! A little olive oil and a touch of salt, and I'm good to go! Bring on tomorrow!

I make my own microwave popcorn. A brown lunch sack, 1/3 cup of kernels, little bit of olive oil, salt. Shake it up, fold the bag over and pop. It takes a while to figure out how long to pop it, but once you do, it's so easy. If you like spice, soak the kernels in jalapeno pepper juice, drain, add a very small bit of oil and salt if you like then pop. So good. I'm going to have some now.
