I ran 2 miles on the treadmill tonight.
(my gym has a thigh master, lol!!)
I know, right? Not a treadmill fan, but thought it would be less impact on my injury. I was wrong. I had a goal of 3-4 miles, but had to stop at 2. I am SO #$^&#@ sick of being injured!! I am going to need to take up swimming or something so I don’t go insane! I love to swim, don’t get me wrong. I’m a good swimmer, too, but really am not a fan of swimming for exercise! I would rather be in my bikini cooling off from the sun or frolicking in the water, lol! Maybe I will just suck it up and give it a try sometime.
I finally did some juicing today for the rest of the week and the weekend. I have been wanting to, but just haven’t honestly felt like going to the trouble. I made a fruity juice and a green juice. Here’s the green one:
It has kale, spinach, parsley, apple, orange, blood orange, and carrot.
Here’s the fruity one. It has apple, orange, blood orange, carrot, strawberry, blueberry, beet and fresh ginger.
I am also baking zucchini chips right now. I saw them on Pinterest. You thinly slice zucchinis, and place them on a baking sheet. Spray EVOO on them and sprinkle them with salt and pepper, then bake for 2-2.5 hours at 225 degrees until they are crispy. I’ll let you know how they turn out!
Another thing I made tonight is a Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal:
This is another Pinterest find. I will do a post on the recipe for this one. It turned out excellent! I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!
For dinner tonight, I had a Portobello Chicken Artichoke pasta. I used quinoa spaghetti for it. It turned out great!! I’ll post this recipe, as well.
Do you guys ever look at DogShaming.com? I could play on there for hours and not stop laughing! Here’s a nice example:
What a little shit, huh? No pun intended haha! Ali’s not too bad in the dog fart department….thank God! They’re stinky, but they dissipate quickly. Our pups are so cute, though, that who cares, right? 
I am a tired chica, so I am going to bed. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! Stay tuned for recipes coming soon!!
Happy Trails!

Ah, I’m sorry that hamstring injury is still bothering you! I know exactly how you feel though about going crazy not being able to run…but you have to give it time! It has taken me almost two years to recovery from my hip injury and that’s because I was too stubborn in the beginning to actually take the time off to recover!! Rest time is key! I know you can find other things to do and maybe if you had a swimming race to work towards maybe swimming wouldn’t seem so bad? Hugs lady!
Thanks Melissa! It’s so hard to give it time, because I am honestly afraid I am going to gain weight! Also, I have races that I want to run, so no running just makes me depressed. I just have to start really guarding my hamstring in all areas of working out. I strained it again doing yoga! I got tired and stepped forward into a lunge with too much force on it, and bam! I felt the pain go up the back of my leg. It’s such a hard injury to heal. I really might try swiming….maybe a triathlon is in my future!?? Who knows what will develop with time. Thanks for the pep talk! I am glad your hip is finally doing better!
I used to think the exact same thing: the second I stop running, weight is going to come on and I’m going to hate it! I promise that as you adjust your excersize your body will tell you when and what and how much you want to eat and you won’t gain any weight! I promise! Do not let a thought like that keep you from getting better and healing!
Thanks, Melissa! I will try not to worry about it as much….I still think I’m going to try swimming soon….
