Monday Funday
Well I’m sorry I missed you yesterday! I wasn’t feeling a post and didn’t want a bad quality one. So here is to my food…
Breakfast started out with the classic pancake and eggs.
Well I guess not completely classic since I tossed some chocolate chips in there!
For lunch a made a HUGE batch of Gulash. I have no pics so I’ll explain…
Macaroni noodles, beef, a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce I LOVE this amazing combo.
For dinner I made steak kabob
The before pic…steak, mushrooms, red & green bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and pineapples
After pics…this dish was delicious!!! Nothing better to me then grilled pineapple and grilled tomatoes.
On Sunday I ran 11 miles…
(1.) 9:02, (2.) 8:39, (3.) 8:56, (4.) 8:39, (5.) 8:52, (6.) 8:26, (7.) 8:41, (8.) 8:43, (9.) 8:58, (10.) 8:49, (11.) 9:01
Not the best splits but I was just running at what my body told me to. Just bought new running shoes yesterday also. I’m really excited since I’ve never had a pair.
Well this is my farewell from the blogging world since Lauren finally comes back tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO
I had a good time with you all.

Lazy Saturday
I managed to not leave the apartment yesterday except for my 7 mile run! I was pretty excited about that.
I woke up at 11 and had a nice breakfast.
cooked some potatoes and sausage and prepared the bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. I cooked everything together until they were tender and then coated the mixture with cheese. YUM!!
My creation!
I know since I’ve taken over the blog that I have not eaten the healthiest of foods BUT I have not had fast food or any sweets so I think I’ve been doing pretty good by myself. Just a year ago I would have had Taco Bell 4 times and Wendy’s 4 times. I’m very proud of myself!!
Before dinner I did my 7 mile run and tried to do it the pace I want to run my marathon in which is 9 minute miles. I did the run in 1hr 2min which is 1 min total under my pace so I was very happy!
I did a “man’s” dinner last night!
2 Brats and a can of baked beans. Sat down had the Rockies on the TV on mute and had Nip/Tuck going on the computer.
Overall a good Saturday!
Heading to the Rockies game with my mom today! Happy Sunday 🙂
P.S. I miss my Lauren 😦
A Hidden Surprise
Yesterday did not start out to well. I woke up at 8:05 and was supposed to be at work by 8 ooops…So as you can imagine I didn’t have time to make breakfast 😦 I still put together a lunch though.
Sorry this is the best pic I have. I put together a PB & Honey sandy and had a banana bread Larabar YUM!!
It was finally time to come home from work and I made a Cucumber & Black-Eyed Pea Salad w/ Chicken
First off I made the dressing which consisted of EVOO, lemon juice and oregano. Didn’t care too much for this but tasted ok
I chopped up this awesome cucumber that we got at the farmers market last weekend and then I chopped the bell pepper in half and SURPRISE a colorful little pepper on the inside! I’ve never seen this before so I was pretty excited.
Complete! ingredients cucumber, black-eyed peas, red bell pepper, red onion, black olives & feta cheese. I also added some chicken so it would be a little more filling. I would eat this as a lunch next time but overall pretty good.
I headed off to the Rockies game last night and Lauren’s favorite player Troy Tulowitzki hit a 3-run home run to go up 1 in the bottom of the 8th!! Go Rockies 🙂
Yesterdays Movie quote was from The Breakfast Club.

[Old Guy] If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious shit.
Happy Saturday
