The Town

I saw the movie tonight and I give it the Hanna's stamp of approval! If you enjoy gritty bank heist movies, then this will fit that bill. If you want to see some man candy, then I would watch it as well. :-D
If you're a gossip girl fan, you should check out Serena's aka Blake Lively's portrayal as a drug addicted/trashy townie ho ho.

Since we had a late breakfast, here's our random leftover spread for lunch:
Chicken wings, mapo tofu, salmon, sweet potato, steak, seafood medley, brown rice, kimchee, and some mackeral. Phew.. Try saying that five times fast!
After eating all this food, my mom and I were both feeling pretty bloated and full so I grabbed a red bull from the gas station and headed to the gym for an additional weights/bozu workout. It was just what the doctor ordered. Although I left with a slight headache from the gym, I definitely felt less pilsbury dough girl like.

Dinner tonight was half a whole wheat pita with some hummus. We got home from the movie at 9:30 and I didn't want to eat a heavy dinner.

Making my breakfast cookie for tomorrow. Ingredients included: oats, dark choco chips, almond slices, walnuts unsweeted almond vanilla milk and peanut butter.

I'm so tired from getting up early that I'm calling it an early night. It's a Saturday night and I'm in bed by 11!

Run for love

Like I said.
The 5k went pretty smoothly this morning. I got up at 5:30 this morning when the sun wasn't even out!  The start of the race seemed to drag on forever. They had a guy in front leading the stretches for 20 minutes. Was that really necessary? Probably not. I ran it in just under 26 minutes. There was this older man in front of me that I could have easily passed but I decided not to disrupt his glory moment. Next time I will take no prisoners!
Runners high!! I know I could have run this one faster but for some reason, I was too tired, too out of breath, and too full maybe from last night's meal? haha.. Excuses!

Post run feast:
Blurry egg whites on a whole wheat english muffin, melted mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, avocados with organic potatoes. The cup of sauce made from horseradish and mayo maybe was for the potatoes. YUM. Overall the dish was quite a mouth pleaser!!
Blackcurrent iced tea. I don't know why but I can't find iced tea in London ANYWHERE. It's quite annoying as I don't really want to have either juice, water, or alcohol all the time.

Check out the southern style cup. I adore those!!
