Day 4

Another typical weekend day for me today.  Slept in despite wanting to get up early.  I was dreaming that I met Pierce Brosnan, then woke up pretty sad that it was only a dream.  :(    LOL    Ate lunch that consisted of chicken lettuce wraps, then decided to have a little "dessert":  a banana cut into slices, drizzled with honey and cinnamon.  Yummy!  Slightly high in carbs, but I headed out for a run about an hour after eating.

Did a 5 mile run to the beach and back.  Felt pretty good.  Not sore at all from my 8 mile run two days ago.  Energy level seems to be fine.  No complaints really!   I've had a pork shoulder roast in the Crockpot all day, so it should be done within the next hour.  I added some chicken broth, soy sauce, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and some Garlic Dill seasoning.  I usually just throw random spices and seasonings in my Crockpot meals!

I also made some tuna salad for lunches this week, and baked bacon in the oven.  It was so easy and less messy!  I put the bacon slices onto a foil lined tray, then baked at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.   I ate 4 slices of bacon as a "snack" because I didn't want to eat dinner until after I came home from doing laundry.  The bacon I usually buy is nitrate-free, Hormel brand.

Dinner was approximately 6 oz of chicken breast that I made in the Crockpot a few days ago, along with a salad:  romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, shredded parmesan, and Ken's Olive Oil Vinaigrette.  I'd like to make my own salad dressing, but just haven't made time to do so yet. I also had 2 slices of chocolate covered bananas, and thought what the hell, I'll have some red wine to entice me to sit at my computer to study.   ;)

That's all I've got for today.  I gotta go study. I'm such a slacker.  :(
