I started my day with a run. I ran 3.5 miles for Meg, a marathon mom who was killed by a drunk driver last Saturday during a training run. Here is the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/489458451159627/. There will be a website for future runs coming in the future. Having been almost run off the road twice since I started running, I spent my time during my run thinking of Meg and her family. It is very sobering and puts a lot of things into perspective. I pray that her family will eventually heal from this tragedy.
Here is my post run picture:
One thing I will say, it definitely is a mental game with me, especially when I am on the Dreadmill. I tried a new "trick", counting quarter mile laps instead of counting down time. I felt like it went faster that way.
After my run, I spent time looking for some healthy meals and snacks I could make. I'm really tired of processed food and always feel better when I cook. I found a few things I want to make and spent an obscene amount of money at the grocery store.
I settled on Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole for dinner. I got the inspiration from this recipe http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/03/cheeseburger-casserole.html. I made some changes based on the tastes of my family. I changed the tomatoes to 6 bell peppers, added 3 slices of bacon, and added 1 cup of beef bullion. My version makes the same number of servings with each serving being about 1 cup and 294 calories.
The ingredients:
Here is the finished product:
I ended up eating 1.5 servings because I'd eaten lightly during the day. It was really quite good and actually tasted like a bacon cheeseburger! I will definitely be making it again.
Now I am going to snuggle up with B and watch the TinkerBell movie. There's plenty of time to clean later :)
