Peanut butter

Off

On Tuesday I was feeling a little off. The foods I normally eat (besides peanut butter) didn’t taste good. I felt sluggish and sad. I think it may have been post long weekend blues?

I made a strawberry/blueberry/raspberry smoothie and it didn’t taste good. (What the heck?!?) So I added peanut butter. Then it tasted like pb&j. Kinda cool.

I spent some time on my back porch reading before work. It felt like summer 🙂

The Doctor’s Wife is considered a psychological thriller. It really is intense! I am enjoying it a lot especially because the book is written about the town where my mom grew up [Gloversville, NY]  so I know all of the places the author talks about and I feel so connected.

I was in such a funk on Tuesday that I broke my favorite dish.

It had been holding broccoli and corn bread. (Yeah.. Chili in June..) I ate the broccoli w/o washing it and got another hunk of corn bread. I was legit sad about the dish.

I have been looking through all my foodie pictures and I notice a lot of drinks..

A frozen latte after my race victory on Sunday. Spoiled.

I noticed in the summer that I mostly drink all of my calories. I drink smoothies, thick creamy coffee drinks, and juice. I also eat liquid foods like watermelon, ice cream, yogurt and pureed soup. Interesting!

I didn’t follow my coach’s plan and run 4 miles today. I didn’t run any miles because my legs were sore and my knee hurt. No shame, no shame!

My mom, sister, and I are going to look a bathing suits tonight for our cruise in 11 days. (!!!) Jim is home sick from work so please pray for him to feel better, poor little guy :/.

Do you drink your calories in the summer?

I had a delightful and fast weekend, how about you? I finished up my last swim meet and went to the mall with my boy (he needed new shorts) Sunday was filled with church and homework. Also my boyfriend’s trampoline. I. LOVE. TRAMPOLINES. [Can ya tell I used to be a gymnast?]

How about some pictures?

pb = my life.
