Thanks to Linda and Mike, I have a new drink at Starbucks!! You can order a non-dairy, non-soy based Frappuccino if you just ask for it with iced coffee instead!! No more worrying about choosing between organic soy milk and non-organic skim milk. PLUS, 40 fewer calories. Yumm......

And I'm SUPER excited about my birthday gift from Linda and Mike, too. I've been wanting one of the new, double-walled Starbucks cups ever since they came out and guess what I got?! :D

My rescue organization had a board meeting tonight. I did NOT choose the restaurant. Luckily, Marie Callender's recently introduced four dishes that are healthier/fresher options. Not ideal, but it could have been far worse. I wish I had ordered it without this chipotle sauce, or whatever it was, but I just avoided it. I basically took the mahi mahi out of the tacos and ate it by itself with the rice and avocado. Yum.

Today I had to wait at home for the cable guy to come. I didn't have breakfast until after he left around 9:15am. I totally wish I could start every day like this. I wasn't nearly as hungry throughout the day. I usually have breakfast at 7:15am, and I'm hungry again by 10:00am or so. I guess I could try waiting until I get to work to eat breakfast, but that's not practical, especially since we don't even have a toaster in my building.

Now that my half-marathon is over, I am going to really focus on sticking to no more than 1400 calories a day. I really want to lose these last 10 or so pounds before I start training for another race. It is too hard to train and cut back calories at the same time! Not sure what happened today, but I didn't even have a hard time stopping at just under 1300. I think it has something to do with running yesterday. It felt so great to run 13.1 miles, without stopping, and I know my body can only get stronger from here! I also saw a photo from yesterday of me and a friend (who ran the full marathon) and I compared it to a photo I have with her from last year at this time (at another race). Seeing the difference just makes me want to work even harder.

I stole this photo from an image search on Google because I was too lazy to dig mine out of the trash. I have to say this is my new favorite item. The entire can has 150 calories. That's it! It is organic. It is vegan. It has no soy. It is yummy. It takes 2 minutes to heat up. It cost $1.99 for a can. I love it. The end.
