First of all, this post is messed up. It unfortunately, put all of my pictures into the gallery, not just the Penguin’s parade ones. Instead of correcting this, which would probably take lots of time and likely be unsuccessful, I’m just going to let it go and tell you that it’s not supposed to be like that.
Now doesn’t that make you want to continue reading this post??
Another Monday over…
Today was okay. It kind of flew by. Actually, the workday did not at all but the after work time period did. This is good.
Soo I got to work and had pumpkin oats with TJ’s Twigs and a banana:
Thennn around 11, I had some sugar snap peas and baby carrots:
Then at noon, some of the coworkers and I ventured downstairs to watch the Penguin’s parade. We were standing in the window of my building on a desk. Here are the pictures in gallery form for you. I didn’t get a good one of Marc-Andre Fleury which was sooo sad. Why can’t I be French Canadian?
Not the best pictures, eh? The Steeler’s ones were much better. The Penguin’s went by too fast. Ah well.
After the parade, I took a short walk to Mellon Square and read for a bit.
Oh I also ate lunch at some point. Veggie/hummus wrap with hot sauce:
Got back to the office and worked until I had some TJ’s Greek yogurt with multi-grain cherrios for a snack around 3…then a handful of Twigs…then some more. I was hungry this afternoon. I guess lunch wasn’t big enough.
I was planning on going to the gym after work but forgot to pack shorts so I just went home. I’m glad I didn’t end up going anyway. I probably would have been annoyed and treadmills are SO boring.
Instead of the horrid monotony of the treadmill, I ran outside. But first, I made a green smoothie.
Not blended well enough because I kind of have the lamest blender of all time.
I decided to run to Shadyside because there is more shade that way than the other way. I shouldn’t do this for two reasons.
1. It’s almost ALL slightly up hill.
2. I had to stop about 10 times at lights.
Oh well. So my legs kind of felt like 100 pounds today. I’m not sure what the problem was. Maybe it was the 80 degree temperature…maybe… I ran 1.5 miles and then turned around and ran back for a total of 3.1 = 5K.
Here’s the Garmin:
And because I only like to post bad pictures of myself covered in sweat:
I got back and made an egg white/veggie wrap + 1 for work tomorrow:
Just a small tangent here: You should not tell your two year old child to shut up. You just shouldn’t. You also shouldn’t swear in front of your two year old. You also shouldn’t scream at each other constantly in front of your two year old. The poor baby is just crying hysterically. How do people live like that? I will not be like that.
Anyway, after the wrap, I ate some more oatmeal because I was still hungry then I made blondies for a coworker’s birthday tomorrow.
Pre-bake:
Post-bake:
I used an AllRecipes.com recipe. I doubled this one: recipe. Did I ever mention how much I hate allrecipes? I’ve only ever had bad experiences with the recipes but this one had like 400 reviews, almost all of which were good. I tasted the batter. It tasted good. Since I doubled the recipe, it brought the vanilla component up to 2 TABLESPOONS. That just seemed like a ridiculous amount of vanilla but I went with it. Here’s hoping they taste good…
That’s about it for now. I’m about to get into bed and read. Maybe doing something new and interesting tomorrow night. We will see. Have a nice night.
