After my 7 miler today (YES, you read that correct 7 big ones for me today!) I needed a filling dinner…
I wasn’t feeling like eating anything except Pancakes so I decided to whip these up (see recipe here). I replaced the Pumpkin with Chobani Greek Yogurt since I was out of Pumpkin and they still tasted Great!
Rolled Oats/Apple Sauce/ Greek Yogurt/ Almond MIlk/Egg whites/Stevia/Cinnamon/Almond Extract/Baking Powder... topped with homemade Pumpkin Butter,Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Chips

Skyscraper high... yes I ate them all.
I knocked down the skyscraper and ate them one by one... it keeps me full to eat slower LOL
Breakfast was a GREEN MACHINE:
1 container Greek Yogurt (I use Fage or Chobani)/3 ice cubes/ handfuls of spinach, a small handful blueberries and half a scoop EAS protein powder Vanilla Flavor

glupped down on my commute toward Chicago.
Lunch was also a Green Machine, only not a smoothie, a green monster Soup:
Cheddar Boccoli Soup with Cherry tomatos, Cauliflower and lots of Spices!
While eating my Cheddar Broccoli soup I noticed a beautiful site from my window:
I can't believe it was snowing again! This stuff is going to take FOREVER to melt!
Today I woke up about 20 minutes earlier than normal to get in a mile run before breakfast.
My motivation to run this morning stemmed from my desire to get in shape for a basketball tournament I'm playing in March! gotta win it! 
Walking up early like I did today is kind of out of the ordinary for me. Not because I don’t enjoy working out in the morning, (I actually prefer working out in the morning) but because my classes start so early most of the week and I usually can’t find the energy to get out of bed.Today was different.I felt sore from Jillian’s Kettleball Workout DVD but I had a lot more energy than usual!
Today’s Workout:
- 1 Mile run in the morning
- 2.5 mile interval run during lunch time

I finally felt like I got into the “ZONE” that runners talk about… You know, when they feel more like they’re floating then running…
Has anyone ever had this feeling of being in “the zone”?
