"Find Your Grove"- that's what I tell myself during the hard parts of a run. Sometimes I want to quit so badly, but if I remind myself to find my groove I usually realize I was increasing my pace too much or not focusing on my breathing enough. Then I focus, find my groove and all is good again :) %5B2%5D.jpg "IMG_3353 (Medium)")
Three years ago I randomly found David on MySpace. We began dating shortly after and have been inseparable since. I was 17 and David 19, so we’ve done a lot of growing up with each other.
Unfortunately the day wasn’t all about celebrating our love as we both had to work. I drank a huge green monster (made with some POM tea! review soon!) and munched on a granola bar while getting ready for work.
At work I enjoyed a big salad with tons of veggies and 3/4 c. black beans and two apples! 
I got a huge salad with a big piece of multi grain bread. I didn’t get to check all the ingredient’s beforehand, but it was still pretty easy to eat vegan here.
I also had tomato basil pasta… and a little piece of their cheesy focaccia. Not vegan? I know. I was feeling deprived by not having one of those delicious little things and (although 100% happy vegan) I rationalized that it’s okay to have pieces of non-vegan food when I go out. I certainly didn’t load up on the ice cream or anything like that, but I’m still thinking about how I feel about my decision. I eat vegan because it makes me feel amazing, is great for the environment and animals and be kind to my body, but I need to figure out how much slack I want to take for times like these when I’m with my family or out to a restaurant and want a little of something with an animal product. Apparently I need to find my groove with my diet, too! I’ll come back to that later :)
I have to work tonight, so now I am rushing around like a mad woman to squeeze all my to-do’s in before then! Happy Tuesday, everyone!
