I can hardly believe it.. some pictures of actual food!!
Morning started with naner PB oats and OJ…
During the day I had veggies with hummus, an apple and a sweet potato with veggies. 
I also munched on the kitchen pantry when I got home. Whoops!
I’m still working on eating healthy while sitting at a desk for most of the day.

Yesterday I talked about the post-marathon exercise blues.
Another thing keeping me in the exercise slumps is these long work days! Our office works four 10-hour days… which is great for 3-day weekends but terrible for exercise! I don’t belong to a gym and I’m doing everything I can to avoid that. I’ve always done my cardio outside, but I keep indoors when it’s dark out for safety. As a result I’ve been missing all my cardio workouts Mondays-Thursdays.
:( Cardio is like a drug to me and I miss it!
Instead of just joining a gym, I’m thinking of all the ways I can beat the darkness and evening tiredness. I’m going to wake up extra early Mondays and Wednesdays to run in the morning (still dark but less scary)… and I’m going to bike to and from work!
My drive to work is 12 miles and takes about 30 minutes in the car with traffic. I think biking will take about 45 minutes each way, and it’ll take care of my workout!
Tomorrow I am going to by a headlight, an extra tube and a kit in case something happens while I’m riding. Tonight I’m checking out some articles and blogs for tips about riding your drive. I’m especially loving this article as an all-around guide to commuting by bike.
I’ll keep you posted!
Any tips for biking to work? Have you ever tried any forms of alternative transportation?
Thank you Ross for your donation to my Team in Training fundraising campaign!! I’m almost to 40% of my goal!!
