Could Not Live Without Them

Variety is the spice in my life. . . .

– I rarely wear my hair the same way two days in a row.

– I used to change my outfit multiple times in one day as a kid.

– I hardly ever run the same route two days in a row. (I alternate between 5-6 different routes.)

– I enjoy rearranging our furniture.

– I’d rather eat 4-5 things to make up a meal rather than 1-3.

And the variety in today’s salad featured 11 different items:

1. mixed spring greens

2. red bell pepper

3. celery

4. green onions

5. tomatoes

6. deli turkey

7. Havarti cheese

8. pear

9. pepitas

10. avocado

11. nutritional yeast dressing

I was feeling much more energized this morning after yesterday’s fatigue, so out the door I went for a run! 🙂 I was pretty depressed last night, so this was a much-needed run!

I seriously don’t know how I would live without my running. . . . or my husband for that matter! Both are pretty good at cheering me up!!

I covered 6 miles in 53 minutes–on the slow side because of icy roads. 🙁 I cannot wait until summer!

Something new I tried this week:

These are the perfect little dessert to curb my post-dinner sugar craving. Only 100 calories per bar!

Tonight I baked some bars (which I will share with you tomorrow), and pretty soon Craig and I are going to run few errands. Nothing too exciting, but I don’t mind.

Questions

What is something you could not live without? (water, air, food, etc. don’t count!)

What was one new food item you tried this week?

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

    I LOVE ice cream sandwiches. I never buy them because I’ll eat the whole box in 24 hours. Now you’ve got me craving them!

    I couldn’t live without chapstick and a water bottle. New food item…I don’t think I tried anything new. Booooring!

    Pancakes. Does that count? I could not live without Leggings. Seriously, I have not worn jeans in a solid month. I’m so grimey and I don’t care.

    That salad looks awesome!

    I cannot wait for Spring either- I have taken to the treadmill at the gym because I cannot stand the ice and cold!
    I could not live without the unconditional love of my family and friends.

    I could NOT live without chocolate! yum. In college I used to come back to my dorm room in between classes to take a tiny bite of a dark chocolate throughout the course of the day. So crazy how an entire bar would last me 1+weeks (if only I had that self control now!)
