Well hello there!   As I type this up I am baking some Halloween cookies!   I got the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker.  Monster cookies!

Did you have a good day?   My day actually ended at noon today so I was pretty happy about that.  I didn’t get my run in this morning so I got right on the treadmill right when I got home.  This week mother nature has hit pretty hard and my “visitor” is giving me headaches and making me a grumpy person in the morning.  I hope to be back to normal by the end of this week!  It’s amazing how that little thing throws your entire week off!  (if there are any men reading….sorry!!)

Workout:

Today I had a 4 mile run on the schedule and couldn’t wait to do it!  Like I said, this morning was a no go, but by the time I got home I was ready for it!

Mile One:     9.08

Mile Two:    8.54

Mile Three:    8.45

Mile Four:    8.45

Total time:    35:30

Average Pace:    8.50

I did some stretching when I was finished and then I like the song so much that I was listening to, I got my grove on. 

Breakfast:

I really wanted some oatmeal this morning, so I grabbed a bag and added 1 tbsp of almond butter.  I also wanted an egg and some grapes…

For my snack this morning I grabbed a banana and some pumpkin spiced pecans that I had made earlier in the week..

This really hit the spot!

After my run I jumped in the shower and cleaned up and then made myself a smoothie for lunch.  I added all the fabulous nutrients:

• 1 cup of 30 Calorie almond milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup of frozen cherries
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• scoop of protein powder
• and a large handful of spinach

No picture…..sorry!!  It was good though.

I am working on dinner right now…

Dinner:

One chicken link, steamed veggies, and one red potato.  Yum yum and yum.

Cookies!!

So while I was typing all of this up, the cookies are done!!

I think they turned out pretty good.  The house smells wonderful!  You really must make these cookies!  I haven’t tried one yet, but they sure smell good.

Where I live at, we don’t have very many kiddo’s that come by for some candy on Halloween, but every year I think we gain at least one or two more kids.  So I ran by the store and grabbed a bag of candy….  Not good that it’s in the house, but whatever is left I am taking to work tomorrow and I am forcing it on the customers.  Really, I am.

Happy Halloween guys!!
