What to Eat When You Run and um, Eat

28 Feb

Since this is my fifth blogaversary I thought I’d go back to where it all started.

No, not all the way back there…mexican flag

But to the daily food blog that RER used to be and show you what I ate today.

First, I ran. It’s this thing I like to do lately… 6 miles to be exact.brooks pure flow black

Breakfast was egg and toast. Oh, and a lot of iced coffee until I spilled it EVERYWHERE. Like for real B – I managed to even get it on the curtains. When I spill something I go big. brown toast and eggs with ketchup

the most interesting man in the world spills coffee

Mid-morning I ate a lot of nuts. I have been eating excessive amounts of nuts lately. It’s okay.

 

Lunch! A beautiful salad. But I’m Busted. I ate in front of the TV. I try not to do this, but I’m not perfect.kale salad with almonds

This afternoon I ate the rest of my TJ’s greek yogurt with stevia and peanut butter. It was awesome. greek yogurt and peanut butter

Then, I took a stroll and caught up with one of my friends on the phone. Kidding. I just held the phone to my ear and pretended like someone was talking to me so I didn’t feel lonely. sunset stroll golf course

Dinner was a wet burrito was green salsa because it’s delicious.  And because I’m Mexican.wet burrito

And to celebrate RER’s 5th birthday I have an awesome dessert…

Dessert – Cinnamon Chocolate with fudge ribbons. I can’t. I just can’t explain how this makes me feel so happy in the world…cinnamon chocolate ice cream

Whew! No wonder I stopped blogging my eats, takes all night.

Question: When was the last time you ate in front of the TV?

I’ve been eating solo a lot lately so I used to reeeeeaally try not to but I’ve been slacking.

    I eat dinner in front of the TV most nights (but never other meals). I like to blame it on the cats – by the time I get home from work + gym/errands/dance class, they are desperate to sit on my lap, and get very noisy if I try to sit at the table instead of the couch. And it’s too hard to eat, pet the cats, and hold a book at the same time, so it’s TV.

    When you eat at the table you can do a sort of eating meditation if you are alone and undisturbed. Enjoying every mouthful and imagining where it is going, etc. Meditation of every kind is healing, and sometimes our digestion needs a little care and attentive healing.

    I’m super guilty of eating in front of the t.v. with my boyfriend. We don’t even have a dining room set up. sad, i know. When we eat in front of the t.v. it feels like a race of who can finish before the commercials are over. Ughhh…I need to stop….We need to stop

    The last time I ate in front of the TV? Hmm…about 2 seconds ago. Happens more often than I’d like to admit.

    Your meals look delicious. I’m glad you’re real and eat enough to fuel your runs and workouts. I often see blogs where girls eat 1200 calories and go on these 15+ mile runs and think, “How the hell do they do that?” If I don’t eat at least 2000 calories a day, I feel like I’m so weak on runs and don’t have enough energy.

    Thanks for keepin’ it real. You look fantastic by the way. I wish I could eat chocolate cinnamon ice cream and still look as fab.

    Please help a fellow Mexican by telling her where you bought that ice cream? Well, you might be helping more if you did NOT tell her…but she promises to share with the children in the house (share the love/calories).

    I’m so glad you blog; it’s a fun spot in my day.

    Happy Weekend!

        Oh love in a pint! A true blessing that it is not the 1.5 quart size! Thanks, I’m going to scout it out. 🙂

    I’m at home on maternity leave and have been watching WAY too much tv. It’s snowy and cold and I’m home alone with a tiny baby who is either sleeping or nursing.

    I usually eat a snack in front of the tv at night. I try to eat most of my meals at the table, but something about tv makes me want a snack 🙂

    I eat in front of the computer on a daily basis. Kids napping = I can eat lunch in peace + catch up on FB or Hulu Plus or whatever the heck else.

    We ate in front of the tv last night (every night) to catch up on Top Chef. And the Jodi Arias trial.

    I don’t watch too much tv, but I tend to eat meals and snacks in front of the computer. One of my Lent goals is to stop eating in front of screens, so I’ve been making myself sit at the table. It’s a hard habit to break!

    It always seems to be that the tv is on in the background but I am not watching it. I tend to eat a few meals in front of the computer. I try not to! I try to make sure my son and I disconnect from technology at dinner time, but it doesn’t always happen!

    I hate eating in front of the tv and drag my reluctant boyfriend to the dining table. Even when I lived alone, I ate at the table. It makes dinner an event and I actually remember eating it!

    When I was young every time I used to eat in front of the TV only and my mom was freaking out. And now I understand it such a bad habit. Now I only eat in front of the TV if at all some good or special programs are going on.

    I usually have my meals (dinner weeknights and lunch weekends) in front of my netbook coz I’m single. It allows me to catch up on my emails, FB, tweet, chat etc.

    I do it all the time. I eat a lot of meals on my own as well and I think it makes me feel less lonely hearing another voice in the room or having my laptop in front of me.

    I totally eat in front of the computer all the time! That’s sorta the same as the TV. But it’s just so boring to eat on your own! Reason #48593049 I need to get married?
