What I Ate [in D.C.] Wednesday
Last week was Manhattan, this week, it’s D.C.! I’m up in Northern Virginia for a couple of days for work, so it’s nothing major, but it does throw my food routine off a little bit. I’ve learned to be flexible!
Morning
I started the day off with some protein packed Chobani with blueberries and a bit of the Love Grown Granola, that I got from the Blogger’s Brunch on Sunday. Sooooo delicious! I think I could eat this combo at any time, any day, for any meal. Yes, it’s that good (and I am that boring).
Lunch
By the time lunch rolled around, I was pretty hungry. Thankfully, there were some healthy options. I had some roasted vegetables, orzo pasta, and some greens with a raspberry vinegrette. (I also had half of an unpictured brownie…)
After lunch I also snagged an apple, which I munched on around 4pm.
Workout
We got out of the conference a bit early, so I had time to squeeze in a super quick workout. Maybe it was because I was pressed for time, and wanted to get a really efficient workout, but however it happened… I PRed a mile!
I know this isn’t fast compared to a lot of you, but as Meg said, it’s not about beating anyone but yourself! I’ve never really run for time, so it was fun to actually see a mile go by so fast!
Dinner
Ahh the awkward trying-to-take-a-picture-at-a-work-function situation. I actually totally forgot until after I had consumed some salad, broccoli, and spaghetti! We also had cheesecake for dessert, which was heavenly! I could only squeeze in a few bites, but it was excellent!
This definitely wasn’t a “normal” day of eating, but it was a fun Tuesday for sure! I’m learning to chill out about an “off” day. And besides, maybe it’s all that food that powered me through that mile so fast 😉
I hope you’re all having a fabulous week!
Woo congrats on the mile PR Liz! That is wonderful 🙂 I have issues when my routine is messed up, but I have gotten so much better about it!
congrats on the mile PR!!
i used to definitely freak out if my routine got out of routine. but i’ve learned to adapt! and i’ve learned to be okay with it and roll with whatever comes my way 🙂
Great job on the mile Speedy! A PR is always awesome, no matter how far or fast.
I’m glad the cheesecake was heavenly. That’s something I can always make room for!
I definitely freak out a bit, I have a friend staying with me for a few days and so I haven’t been able to fit in my workouts and we eat out like everyday, but I’m learning to adapt
congrats on the PR 🙂
and yes, Im a total creature of habit, so when something throws me off, I tend to freak easily!
When I’m training for something, yes I freak out a little. Now that I’m not at the moment, I’m trying to be more relaxed about eats/workouts, but it’s hard to get out of the habit!
I don’t really freak out, but I feel weird if my routine is thrown off haha. And um, your mile time is amazing!! I’ll be lucky if I ever get below 10 minutes 🙁 I think I’m averaging around 11.5 or something : I’m doing the Couch to 5K so I’m hoping I can make my mile time a little better as this goes on!I
That’s how I started! I normally run 10min miles ish, but it gets easier! Stick with it!
Woohoo great job on the mile! Definitely only compare to yourself, no one else 😀
I actually used to get someone panicky when my schedule was thrown off but I have since learned to adjust. You can only do what you can. I love your blog by the way girl! That salad looks so good!
Sometimes I freak out when my routine gets jacked up, but I’ve gotten a lot better over the years at being more flexible. I’m so glad you had such a great time with everyone in DC! That lunch looks delicious too 🙂
