Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Tuesday, 9/4/2018

Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday for me! I had an awesome long weekend. My mom visited and we saw Hamilton, which was amazing. We also did a side by side taste test of sous vide egg cups vs. pressure cooker egg cups. The verdict was 2-1-1, with two people preferring the sous vide egg cups, one preferring the pressure cooker, and one (me) liking both for different reasons. Art and I also finally played some more of The Arkham Horror card game which was super fun! Now I'm getting ready for my day - I'm heading to the gym to do a long run (11mi) and it will determine if I do the half (13.1mi) or change to the 5miler on the 16th.

QOTD: Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next five years confined to an urban mecca like New York City, or a beautiful, isolated town on the California coast?

1: protein bar pre-run (since today's run is supposed to be as close to simulating what I'll do on actual race day as possible)
2: package of Clif Bloks over the course of my run
3: protein shake after stretching
4: leftover crispy shredded beef
5: whatever the oldest thing is in the fridge, which I can't see from here!

liquid and vites: on track and then some
exercise: running, yoga

How about you?

Good morning. Back to reality today. Wahhh. It was like getting up in the middle of the night - but the bills must be paid, lol.

QOTD: California coast for sure. I grew up in the city in a very densely populated area and I don't ever want to live that close to anyone again. I also LOVE California.

B: english muffin with peanut butter

L: going out so not sure - prob a salad

D: Steak with garden veg

L/V: on track

E: HOT, HOT, HOT still here. Ugh so no.

Hi All! Hope you all had a safe long weekend and that you were able to build some new great memories!

QOTD: Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next five years confined to an urban mecca like New York City, or a beautiful, isolated town on the California coast? Well, I am from California so I'd go back and live on the coast! Although not isolated I love, LOVE Newport Beach, the people, the art, the weather... I have lived all over the US including the major cities and nope if I had the choice and money I'd go home.

Week 10

Water, water, water!

M1: 4 oz Ocean Spray Diet Cran-Grape Juice

M2: SF Sea Salt Caramel Coffee

M3: Mini Salad w/lean Burger Patty

M4: not sure probably anything left of M3

M5: Sirloin Tip Roast and Rainbow Baby Carrots

M6: Not sure IF hungry String Cheese

Tuesday is a favorite day for no reason; also Thursday, she said randomly.

QOTD: Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next five years confined to an urban mecca like New York City, or a beautiful, isolated town on the California coast? Well I didn't like California when I lived in San Juan Capistrano nor NY when I lived in Queens. So I would say a small town where there are sidewalks to stroll on, and a reasonably temperate climate. Oh wait, thats NC and I already live there :)

B: Oikos Greek Yogurt

S: 1/2 Scone

L: Salmon patty

Enjoy your favorite day! Thursdays are my favorite day too, for as long as I can remember. I think it was my day off from chores when I was a kid (we each got one), and as a young adult I always worked weekends so I never looked forward to Fri - Sun. So Thursday stuck. And then both my kids happened to be born on Thursdays!

Morning all! Just getting up and getting around today. Have a few errands I need to run, but I am hoping to not spend my whole day on them. Today it's not supposed to be as hot as it has been, so we'll see. They said it would cool off, but that was if we got the rain they thought we would get. We didn't get it.

QOTD: I like the city, so I think I would do fine in a big city. I don't need, or want a lot of room, and I like the idea of being able to just walk to get everything I need/want.

Hi,

What app is that? I really like the way it lays everything out.

My fitness pal! MyFitnessPal.com plus there is a phone app.

Hamilton blew me away too! I would love to see it again. Good luck on your 11 miler!

Thanks! I managed to do it which is awesome!
