Is it just me, or does fresh produce and exercise always make you feel better?
I went out in Brooklyn with a bunch of friends last night, and while it was a blast, I definitely felt it this morning L
I knew simple food would help, so I poured myself a bowl of Nature’s Path SmartBran with fresh blueberries and almond milk:
After chugging a few glasses of water and letting my breakfast settle, I set out on my first official half-marathon training run! It was only three miles but it feels good to be running towards a goal again. I ran along the West Side Highway and finished in 27:24, averaging a 9:13 pace. After taking a few months off from regular runs, I was pretty pleased!
Lunch was another guacamole salad.
- Lettuce
- Cucumber
- Tomato
- Carrots
- Avocado mashed with lime juice & salt
- Salsa
This is my last one of these for awhile, I promise. I need to get out of my avocado rut J
On the side, I had a massive bowl of ripe strawberries and juicy peaches.
And a honey graham Clif Z-Bar for carbs. These things are delicious!
While I ate, I read an article in the latest Fortune magazine about Trader Joe’s business model. I thought it was fascinating!
It turns out that Trader Joe’s actually purchases its foods from corporations such as Frito Lay, Stonyfield and Amy’s Kitchen. Because it carries a smaller variety of goods than most grocery stores, TJ’s sells far more of each product it does stock, which translates to more sales and cheaper prices. I highly recommend the article if you’re a TJ’s fan!
Have a great afternoon loves!
