Hey, hey – happy Wednesday to ya!

This morning I worked out when I woke up! I warmed up with the standard 1.5 mile Mom walk, then ran the same course 2 additional times. GOSH that route is hard to run! It’s super hilly and great for walking when I tend to want a more challenging course, but holy moly it is tough to run. It’s good for the abs (and buns!) though – they are always sore after running hills – yes!

Per my insane hunger levels last time I worked out in the morning, I loaded up on breakfast with a Bacon, Egg & Cheese English Muffin!

No greasy, nastiness here though. I used a whole wheat English Muffin, some center-cut, low-sodium bacon and 3 egg whites!

Seriously – nothing is tastier and more satisfying than this combo of flavors. Nothing, I tell you!

I also had a sliced White Peach:

And some sweet, mouth-watering Cantaloupe.

I ate my cantaloupe very slowly because this is seriously the best one I’ve ever had. It’s definitely cantaloupe season, my friends – stock up while you still can!

For lunch I was feeling a little saucy, so I packed a Fiesta Salad.

In the mix:

• Mixed greens
• Black beans
• Baby corn
• Dried cranberries
• Taco seasoned shredded cheese
• Salsa + a dallop of ranch dressing

I had really wanted some fresh tomatoes for this baby, but I didn’t have any on hand. Dried cranberries make a nice sub though, right?

I also packed a banana – because they’re not just for oatmeal…you know?

I’m thinking I met my fruit quota for the day…what do you think?!

So, you guys, I’m very excited for tonight, because tonight = dinner + pedicures (not at the same time) with my Mom! Yep, it’s ladies night!

Have an amazing Wednesday everyone!
