I love fresh starts so I woke up with a smile on my face this morning knowing today was the start to a new year

Even though it was icy out I really wanted to start the year with a run. I bundled up and set out for a 4 mile run/slip and slide/walk/tip-toe. It was even more slippery than I thought in some places and my heart skipped a few beats every time I almost fell.

I came back home and woke up Ben and he joined me on a cool down walk (this doesn’t make sense because I was already cold as all heck, but whatever). I also stole a handful of cereal while I was waiting for him

The first meal of 2010 was a big bowl of oats with banana, soy milk, chia seeds, Truvia and PB. This really filled me up, but I got hungry an hour late for some reason?

I am low on fruit, but Costco is closed today (learned that the hard way). So, we hit up a few stores that were open and I got a pair of running capris I may wear to the Marathon.

Problem: I can’t do a “dress rehearsal” of what I will wear race day on a run because I haven’t worn warm weather running gear for months and may have added a few pounds to the mix (thanks for nothing tamales!). Hmmmm. I’m in the process of figuring this one out, but I will most likely just have to hope and pray whatever I wear is okay.

I ate this Amy’s meal for lunch because I was only half heartedly paying attention when someone was talking about how black eyed peas are lucky to eat on New Year’s Day. At least I ate some, right?

I had some dried mango for dessert – this stuff is Natures real Candy

And a small bowl of cereal a bit later…exciting times, I know.

Well, Day One of 2010 is almost over and I don’t feel like I’ve done anything life changing yet. I better get on that!

I did spot this cute post card at the book store, but I have much more to accomplish today…

See you in a bit

Tonight for dinner I had Amy’s Tortilla Casserole & Black Beans Here’s how it looked after being micro-ed. It doesn’t look as good at the pic on the box, but it was very tasty! I really enjoyed digging into the layers of tortilla and cheese. I did top it with a little hot sauce though I didn’t add any veggies to dinner because I didn’t feel like it and that is reason enough sometimes. Anyways, I loved this Amy’s meal – no surprise there though. I think I have loved everything from Amy’s so far! But, I’ll keep trying new stuff just to be sure it’s not a coincidence. Ha!
Dessert was some Annie’s crackers and some yogurt covered pretzels and raisins that I got at the bulk bin at the store. I just got a little yogurt mix because I know I will eat it all in one day/hour/snack – you know what I mean.
I wanted more bunnies so I put them in a little bowl with some milk. They disintegrate super fast in milk, which meant I had to eat them fast, which meant I had to get some more since the first bowl went away too fast. Boo. Maybe I shouldn’t eat them in milk anymore?
Here’s the box of Annie’s Bunny Grahams. I prefer the chocolate, but they were all out at the store. I shouldn’t be buying “cookies” because I want to save treats for special occasions, but don’t worry this box will be gone in no time
