Sweat like you Mean it

Ever since I fell in love with running (again), I've been doing it a lot more. Of course, I have to arrange my running schedule around a little man. I think I've been doing pretty good. There's always a lot of sweat (I don't go out past 10 am) and I've been working out my lungs. My lungs are my weakest part of running. Here's what I look like after my run, every time (notice the veins shooting out of my hands):

This is what I've been eating lately. It has Stacey's tortillas, cooked dice chicken, cooked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and a little ranch. It was so good!

This little guy has been enjoying his Cheerios, green beans (pictured) and yams. We had a period of time where he would refuse eating any type of food. We found out that he wanted to feed himself. He's pretty good at that now, but still needs to practice. He loves to practice!

Can't wait for tomorrow's run!

What have you been eating?

Wrapping it up

I've been really craving wraps! I've been eating them for breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon and also for lunch with (see below) lunch meat, bacon, mayo and lettuce. Stacey's Organic tortillas sent me some awesome tortillas to try out. It's not because they sent them to me, I really, really love them! They're made with things I can pronounce (and often found in my own kitchen and I love that). 

I don't always have bacon with every meal, so you don't have to worry about me. 

Running has been going pretty ok. I've still running 5k (since I wasn't able to get out too much last month for it). 4 miles starts next month! I need to make it over to my old running path (6 mile loop). It's so much better than stopping at stop signs, so we don't get run over. 

This little guy has been a picky eater and being so stubborn about trying to feed himself. When we try to feed him (by spoon), he puckers his lips and turns his head. Since we've been feeding him by hand (and letting him help), he's getting better. 

Yesterday, we shared a part of a hard boiled egg. We're working on his pincer grasp. 

Anyone have this trouble while feeding their baby (breast feeding is no problem)? How far are you running?

Taste Changes as You Get Older

Another busy little day. I was running around work like a chicken with it's head cut off. It was pretty crazy. Still not enough time in one day. I still managed to have my good food. I had my regular cereal, I finished off my dried cherries and had an apple a few hours later. Same ol lunch. I wasn't too hungry when I got home. I just ate dinner a little bit ago. I think my stomach was keeping full from all the water I've been drinking.

I've been thinking about dinner all day. I was so excited to try my chicken I baked last night. When I got home, had some things waiting for me. Stacey, at Stacey's Organic Tortillas was kind enough to supply some organic tortillas for me to try. They were amazing! Something else, I had was Tribe Hummus. I haven't always been a hummus kind of girl. What I've been noticing, is that my taste has been changing (for the better) the older I get. The hummus was very smooth and creamy.

The first thing I did was lay the whole wheat tortilla on the plate.

Then, I spread a nice layer of hummus on top.

I then topped that with some home grown tomatoes, my chicken from last night and some fresh mixed greens. I folded up the tortilla up like a burrito.

This dinner makes it to one of my favorite home made summer meals. It's quick, easy and cool (especially if you cook the chicken ahead of time). Top 50!

Today was a rest day for me. No workout. When I got home, I took a nap. I never take naps (I never have time to). It was so nice! My hubby is on his way home, and I'm going to fix a yummy wrap for him and see what he thinks. I think he'll love it!

Any fun plans this weekend? I'm going to a BBQ at my parents tomorrow (for an early birthday). And, Sunday is completely relaxing (besides my working out all weekend). Have a great weekend.
