Walking distance

Uncategorized

23 Jul

I think anything is walking distance if you have enough time. This drives Ben crazy because on the weekends I will suggest we walk places and realistically that means it would take the entire day so we don’t. Boo.

I walked home from work today which is about 3 miles. It seemed like a good idea this morning, but since I was carrying my bags it kinda sucked. Note to self: bring a personalized logo backpacks because your huge purse becomes exhausting to carry after half a mile.

My packed lunch today included a sandwich with a little more bulk today. It had hummus, spinach, tomatoes, onions and a slice of Chipotle Muenster cheese (Costco). It was good, but I think once I finish these sandwich thins I need to buy “real” bread. DSCN0092

I also had a yogurt and watermelon. Finally, I felt full for the first time since yesterday.DSCN0091

My afternoon snack was a green banana with brown spots and almond butta. Again, perfectly full 🙂DSCN0093

After my trek home it was close to 7pm and I just wanted to throw together something super easy. I made a massive salad – I know so many bloggers make big salads, but I’m not messing around. Sorry, Ben takes blurry pics…DSCN0101

It had spinach, tomatoes, onions, garbanzos and a huge scoop of hummus…DSCN0099

Plus a sweet potato…DSCN0097

I made an agreement with myself that I would only have a sweet dessert 2 times a week, but I broke that rule when I bought these ice creams this weekend.

I had half of each one and Ben had half. These containers are little, but since a serving of ice cream is half a cup (yeah right) they hold 2 servings. It will be a sad day in RER land when I only eat 1/2c of ice cream.DSCN0102DSCN0103

Tomorrow is a rest day so I’m thing of checking out my new apartment complex’s gym!

Oh and I have a ton of pics on my childhood from our wedding slide show so I will be showing you guys what a ham I was…and that my hair had always been this red…TIGHTS, SHORTYSITTIN ON A ROCKHAPPYTIMESPics of a rough puberty to follow…

      Good for you for walking home after work! 3 miles isn’t a huge distance – an hour walk, maybe? My office is probably a good 6 miles from my house and I would love to be able to walk it, but 2 hours is just a long, long time.

      My husband and I live in the country, so it’s really not possible to walk anywhere. I try to walk as much on my own as possible!

      As for your sandwich things, I have the D’Italiano type (might be a Canadian brand?) and I love them. Though I rarely use them for sandwiches. Instead, I save them for when I have a veggie or turkey burger. They’re great and not too bulky like the buns I get for my hubby.

      Love the younger-you pics!

      Love the baby pics! You are too cute. Every time I read your blog I find more and more similarities! I love it. I also suggest to my husband that we walk to a lot of “far away” places and he refuses. I found out he is much more willing to ride our bikes, so we have been doing that lately. And I also make HUGE salads in HUGE bowls. 🙂

      Yay love a little ginger baby 🙂

      I don’t think I’m brave enough to show my kid pics on the blog. My husband refers to those years as my “Carrot Top” days. Not cute.
