Plan B- WIAW

Good morning. This post is going to be Hangover style (you know, like the movie). I’ll show you how last night looked and then explain (or rather let the boys explain).

I was supposed to be writing this amazing post with some new recipes I create using my favorite Coach’s Oats multigrain pancake mix, but instead my “Plan B” night looked a little like this.

A little huge broccoli slaw BBQ bake with my newest version of kale chips

consumed on the couch

with a Newton’s Folly cider that I found at Trader Joe’s

while watching a little Bethenny.

It was followed by a new Vitalicious mini vitacake topped with some Artisana cocoa bliss and a Trader Joe’s Soy Creamy sandwich

and an 11 pm bedtime.

I’ll let the boys explain how it all started.

Video notes-

These guys think they’re pretty funny.

Both Kitty and Nala make short cameos.

Check out the cool yoga moves at the end.

So……. the hour and a half that I usually have in the afternoon to try to get a grip and get a few things done didn’t happened yesterday. (God help me if it doesn’t happen today either.) I was really looking forward to it too after teaching a few classes and a little trip to Costco.

Oh well.

Plan B took action.

Thank you Sesame Street for entertaining these guys for 50 minutes.

I got desperate and made an iced mocha.

Lovely.

I also scarfed down my lunch.

Pumpkin protein cookie dough (with some chia seeds mixed in there) topped with some peanut butter and NuttZo with a side of strawberries.

Then I had a brilliant idea to take not only the boys on a run, but Turk too.

We were off to a pretty good start

for about five minutes until the first hill.

It took about a mile and a half (a very slow mile and a half) to get to this point.

Yeah. I thought pushing a 100+ pound double stroller was hard. Having to pull a 90 pound dog in addition was not fun. It was a long trip back home

and an even longer couple of hours once we got there.

Oh yes. It was a little rough.

And now, instead of having an extra 30 minutes to get this post published properly and return a few emails, these guys just walked in.

Yes, that’s right, got out of their cribs (again) and walked in.

Holy cow friends. I’m in trouble.

I’m going to link this up over on my friend Jenn’s blog for

so here are some other food items that were consumed yesterday.

A sweet treat breakfast sandwich (with a mocha) for breakfast

and a Clif Mojo Chocolate Almond Coconut bar (my new favorite) in between my classes mid-morning.

Really quick before I go, since we’re talking “plan B” and all, I got an email yesterday that I didn’t make the Nuun Hood to Coast relay team. Congrats to all the amazing ladies who did!

I’m not going to pretend like I’m not a little disappointed, but that just means I’ll try again next year. I think sometimes we grow the most from things that don’t happen easily, right?

I’m just going to focus my energy on other things (like the two half marathons I have coming up the next two weekends and the Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon just 5 1/2 weeks away).

Or maybe I need to go buy a video camera to make myself feel better and make some more YouTube videos. Retail therapy anyone? He he.

Also, after reading your comments on yesterday’s post with all the pictures, I’m going to try to incorporate more of those in the blog. Posts like that are more fun to write anyway. Who needs to see just a bunch of pictures of green food and broccoli slaw all the time? Boring. I better warn my non-blog friends. Ha!

Okay, I’m off to tackle the day and a few more training miles.

See you tomorrow with some fun recipes (hopefully).

Random question- I get emails asking about my workout routine. I like reading what other people do as their workouts, but that’s not something you’d want to see on a daily basis is it?
