Homph Homph Homph

this !
  the sound of taking huge bites of dinner !

Hi hi!

Still waiting on Matt to arrive home. It’s a 4.5 drive from Cville and they took a wrong turn!

This afternoon I had a snack around 3:30 – an apple (a really good one!), some sliced cheddar (am loving the apple + cheese combo!) and some roasted almonds. Perfection!

IMG_4421 (640x427)

Shortly after I left for the gym on my bike. You know how I announced a few weeks ago that my bike was ready for retirement? Well I’m still riding it. It’s kind of like this bike:

Rickety bike

I haven’t switched because I NEED my basket and we don’t think it will work on Matt’s foldable bike. So we’ve procrastinate getting his bike sized for me because of that. But seriously, it’s time! I might start taking my phone to the gym in case I break down halfway home!

Despite the nice weather, I actually didn’t really want to go to the gym today. However, I turned my mindset to think of the "indoor playground" and suddenly it was appealing. Steer away from thinking of it as a chore and more of a privilege of time to veg out with a magazine or TV show (or nature! or music!) Whilst at the gym I did 30 minutes on the ET. For having run my farthest yesterday, you shouldn’t wouldn’t know it! My legs felt great. Not the least bit tired.

My appetite on the other hand has turned ravenous!! I finished up my workout with some weights and cut them short because I was so hungry. And I’d just had a snack!

A speedy ride home, a quick shower and I was ready to eat everything in sight.

Thankfully we have tons of leftovers that were ready in 3 minutes with not even a cutting board to dirty!

IMG_4428 (640x427)

I layered up our leftovers:

  • Bean + Cauliflower soup on the bottom (~1/2 a cup)
  • Pineapple Chicken in the middle
  • A few broccolis from my roast on Friday
  • Avocado
  • Arugula
  • Franks Red Hot
  • Coconut for garnish

IMG_4431 (640x427)

Flax Oat Bran toast with a teaspoon of real buttah – mmm!

IMG_4427 (640x427)

IMG_4423 (640x427)

I’m giving myself an hour to test my hunger, but as of now, it hasn’t gone away yet!!

***

An hour later I needed a snack, although my dinnertime hunger did eventually go away 🙂

Cottage cheese (1/4 a cup?), pumpkin (a few tbsp?), cacao nibs + butterscotch chips

IMG_4444 (640x427)

Since I’ve been up since 4:45, I think it’s going to be an early night!

    My whole last week was ravenous!! I think it may have been because I was moving around cleaning literally all week getting the last little crap done at the house. My hunger during the 1/2 marathon training definitely increased as I progressed with longer distances each week!

    Apples and cheese with craisins is one of my favorite snacks!

    I love how you combine all your leftovers in one bowl – if I did that, my husband would refuse to eat it. He has issues with food touching. I, on the other hand, typically take most parts of my dinner and mix em all together.

    You deserve an early bedtime. Sleep well!

    Mmmm, apple and cheddar! Just curious, what percent cottage cheese do you enjoy? I love it, but I think the no-fat or low-fat versions have such a fake flavor to them ! Maybe I just haven’t let my taste buds acclimate 😉

      January 26, 2010 at 6:53 am

      Generally low-fat. I’m using Organic valley right now and it’s 4% and quite nice. I don’t like fat-free CC EXCEPT Cabot brand, which I do get at Trader Joe’s sometimes.

    Thanks for the indoor playground tip! I have been using that every since I read it on your blog 🙂 It’s great because I have about 20 magazines that need to be read and there’s no better pace then when i’m sweating at the gym!

    I like the way you talk yourself into a workout when you’re not in the mood! Too many times it just winds up as one of many things on my check list rather than something I look forward to. I’m going to try to change my attitude about it!

    I wish I could figure out how to use pumpkin with cottage cheese and oats. For some reason I can’t ever get it to turn out right, but it always looks so good!

    The best apple and cheese combo is gala and manchego. I love the sweet and salty combo.

    I am always hungrier the day after a long run ( I think many people are actually) and can’t get enough fuel!
    Oh, and I like both a hand held water bottle and one with 2 – 4 small bottles. One big bottle bumps around too much. Camelback styles kinda get in the way and you have to be super careful about cleaning them because the straw can get mold. I’ve tried all these kinds!

    If you think apple + cheese is good, seriously try an apple slice spread with peanut butter and topped with cheese! I know I know it sounds a lil’ crazy, but I’ve been eating this since I was a lil’ girl and have always adored the combo of random flavors 🙂

    something about having hungry days where you’re eating all good food just makes me feel fantastic about myself!

    The hungry days where you dip into the chocolate stash– that’s a different story!

    Any word on where we can get that soup recipe from?!

    • Kath says

      January 26, 2010 at 6:54 am

      AGREED!

      Soup was pretty generic (and Karen made it so I don’t have the recipe). If you Google “Bean + cauliflower soup” you’ll probably get a similar one.

    What a crazy coincidence! I used to read your blog every day but got caught up in finishing my thesis last year, so am now in big catch-up mode. The funny this is I’m Australian, but am right now in Charlottesville visiting friends from when I did my exchange year at UVA in 2007.

    So exciting that you’re moving here – and I am fantabulously jealous. I wish I could move here… instead I have to go back to Australia, where it’s impossible to find canned pumpkin. Sadness!

    P.S. Your dinner looks so heavenly. I love bowls like that, so full fo interesting tidbits!
