Food Obsessions

 Monday morning when I woke up my foot was still in quite a bit of pain. Fail. I called my orthopedic specialist and made an appointment for that afternoon. To put things bluntly, the good doctor had no idea why my foot is in so much pain. The x-rays looks good and there isn't any intensely centralized pain, bruising, etc.

 

I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow night that can hopefully provide some more insight.

 

Despite having to put my marathon training on hold, I've still been getting some good workouts in.

 

Sunday: P90X Ab Ripper and 60 minutes of yoga

Monday: Not a thing:-)

Tuesday: 20 minutes of ankle weights,48 pull-ups, plank, wall sit and a 45 minute yoga workout

 

Tomorrow I plan to take a Pilates class and run a few miles....As crazy as that sounds I think I want to slightly irritate my foot before my MRI so everything shows up nice and clear.

 

Since I can't talk too much about running, I'll move right along to one of my other favorite things, food.

 

In case you didn't know, I have a very obsessive personality. When I really love something, I eat it every day (sometimes more than once) for weeks and weeks. My current obsessions are:

 1. Oatmeal

2. Eggs

3.  Apples with nut butter (I seriously think I've eaten about 6 apples with sunflower or almond butter since Saturday)

4. Quinoa

5. Avocado

6. Wheat Thins

 

My dinners this week:

 

 

Quinoa, roasted broccoli, fresh red and yellow peppers, kielbasa, garlic hummus and my Cholula.

 

Kaitlyn asked me if we could make chocolate covered strawberries for dinner. Strawberries are another thing that we (mostly Kaitlyn) eat a TON of. I think I've spent $20 on strawberries in the past week.

 

I know they look like crap but that is Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate and it's amazing.

 

Quinoa, scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes, avocado and my Cholula.

 

This was tonight's dinner. Super good and easy again. Scrambled eggs with sauteed onions and red pepper, avocado and my Cholula.....along with a couple handfuls of Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins! How excited was I to find these! Love anything SPICY and seriously love Wheat Thins. I give them 3 days.

 

I plan to have the same exact thing for breakfast. Well, take out the Wheat Thins and put a whole wheat english muffin there, or apple w/nut butter (haha)...not that I'm above Wheat Thins for breakfast, because I'm not, I just wouldn't document it.
