Happy Friday! How was your week?
I’m over here just doing a very easy shake-out run this morning. My legs have been super tired because I haven’t gotten enough rest lately. I woke up Sunday and actually felt this very distinct tired/heavy leg thing as soon as I opened my eyes. That’s legit. But, because I’m not smart I already signed up for a race this weekend and the show will continue… just slowly.
I’m just looking to finish so I’m not worried about it. I just need time with my thoughts and the open road…
What I am worried about is how much I smell.
I just feel like a smelly person, isn’t that the worst!?!! Mostly when I run, thankfully. But I do run 5 days a week so that’s 5 out of 7 days of stinky clothes.
So, I’m pretty excited about these Bounce Bursts that I tried this week. They were on super sale at the store so I thought I’d give it a whirl in the washer. Yep! My running clothes came out smelling a lot nicer than usual. Now if only the good smell lasts through a run, I’d be set!
I was still feeling very snacky McSnackerson today so I had some carrots and Sabra Greek Yogurt Dip to get my crunch on.
And in great 99 cent store news…
I spotted these Quorn veggie burgers at the 99. Yeah! I try to avoid soy based veggie burgers because of my thyroid, but I still love them. (They are soy and meat free.) I was excited to buy the whole stock!
And in other happy food news…
I finally found the Tostitos Rolls!!! Except I didn’t buy them yet. I’m waiting until closer to the Super Bowl because if I just had them at my house right now they’d already be gone. I’m disappointed, but realize my weaknesses and am not going to set myself up for that.
Soon Tostitos… we’ll be together.
And now the big reveal – if I was a food I would probably be nicknamed these Ginger Extreme candies…because they’re spicy and a tiny bit sweet and a little unpleasant, but some people like ’em.
Although, I’d rather be a watermelon margarita…
Healthy Super Bowl Snack Ideas
Speaking of chips… Check out these great recipes for the Super Bowl or a random Friday night or breakfast:
Skinny Buffalo Chip Dip Recipe <- I made that one for my fam last year and it was brother and dad approved!
Question: If you were a food – what would you be?
What are you doing Sunday?
I got together with my family for a Super Bowl party. We had a burrito bowl bar, 12th Man Cupcakes, 12th Man Peanut Butter M&M Cookies, three kinds of Skittles and a ton of other snacks. I’m still recovering!
I would definitely be a carrot. Since I’m already a carrot top and the rest of me turns orange (on occasion) because I love eating carrots so much!
Carrots tops FTW!
I would be a waffle. Buttery and sweet but with texture and depth. Lol.
I think we’re just going to be at home on Sunday…but there will be snacks, and beer! 🙂
If I were a food, I’d be a chocolate muffin. Dip & chip is everything on Super Bowl.
I can’t think of a nickname…definitely something with chocolate.
Cocoa!
I reccomended getting a specific sports wash for your run gear.
I think it kills the bacteria or something that stinks when it heats up when you go running again. I’m in the uk and all the sporty cool kids use halo sports wash. Must be something similar and effective where you are.
Sunday I am rooting against the Seahawks bc they robbed the Packers of the Superbowl. That and playing Zelda on my new Wii U bc I am THAT COOL.
I’m running twenty miles and then going to a super bowl party. I will be eating all of the food.
(come to Blend!)
Tricker! You’re going to convince me 🙂
If I were a food I would be a coconut. I am quiet, understated and hard to Crack open. When you get to the inside you are suprised with unexpected goodness. Either that or maybe I would be a coconut because I’ve got a lot of hair!
In the UK Quorn is made from mycoprotein, which is basically a mushroom and nothing to do with soy. Check the ingredients, Quorn may be safe for you! Today I’d be chocolate.
Yeah, it’s safe for me that’s why I was excited! It’s so hard to find non-soy veggie burgers and these were a steal 🙂
I think some days I’m chocolate too, but dark chocolate… (are you in the UK, they have great candy!)
It was a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk that hit the spot at the end of a long week, but I’m also a fan of 70 per cent dark chocolate, often Swiss. I’ve not been to the USA, but I gather our chocolate is quite different!
I would be a philly soft pretzel. Hard and salty on the outside, soft on the inside. And delicious of course!
Girl I feel you on the smelly front. Also just when I’m running but I’m finding I need to do sooo much more laundry since I’ve started running because I can’ have those stinky clothes in my hamper for too long.
Oh and if I were a food I’d be buffalo wings. No reason, I just love buffalo wings..
WIN laundry detergent is the best! It’s specifically made for getting stink out of tech clothes. I separate all my workout clothes out and wash them in WIN and my 3 year old tech shirts are still fresh and free of pit stains.
Good tip!!
I would be an avocado. They just go with everything!
If I were a health food, id be iceberg lettuce. If I were a junk food, I’d be…BUBBLE TEA 🙂
Love bubble tea! It’s been too long since I’ve had one 🙂
Watching the game!! I am a Massachusetts girl- Go PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’d be a pineapple: sweet, but if you’re not careful i’ll cut you 😉
Love it!
If I were a food, I’d be biscoff. Wait is that even a food? Well, it is in my world.
Sunday I’ll be at the beach, and loving every single minute of it!
It’s totally a food 🙂
If I was a food, I’d be a donut. I didn’t even have to think about that one!
We got the Tostitos Rolls – they were gone way too fast. So much easier to eat!
We’re getting together with my family on Sunday to watch the Superbowl! Have a good weekend!!
You too Heather! Enjoy Superbowl 🙂
