Finding Fit at 30

It’s Friday and CWS Kickoff! June 12, 2009

Happy Friday! Last night I went for a 3 mile run, the 1st run since Sunday and it went really well! My legs are super sore but I think it’s from that she-devil, Jillian Michaels. Ugh, she is evil! I know I’m about 6 months late in jumping on the 30-day shred bandwagon, but I finally started it 2 days ago. I’ve been concentrating on running and haven’t been doing any type of weights. I still wouldn’t think I’d be this sore! I mean, I’ve been running. A lot. One day after this video and it feels like I’ve been run over by an 18-wheeler! Plus I’m using 8 pound handweights and I probably should really be a wuss and use 5 pounders. Oh well.

Instead of the Taco Ride last night we went and looked at cars. I’ve been driving around a beater for the past year and I’m really tired of high schoolers having better cars than me so I’m thinking it’s finally time to commit to a car payment again We test drove the Element. and I felt like I was driving a cargo van. It’s super slow too but I like how much space there is for when we road trip, bike ride, etc. My favorite vehicle (and has been since they came out) is the VW Bug. I drove one back in 2001 for 3 years and LOVED that car. Now, I know I’m getting old because I’d maybe like something with a little more space. Four door cars are really convenient! Oh I never thought I’d say that! I don’t even have any children! We’re also looking at the Kia Soul. Besides the fact the commercial is super cute, the insides of these cars are pretty groovy too. Yes, the speakers really light up. Anyone hear anything good about these cars yet? They’re so new, I haven’t really even seen them around town yet.

How about some food? After my friend mentioned yesterday that she had a quesadilla for lunch, I really wanted one too and craved it all day. So after we got home from looking at cars, I made one.

Black Bean Chipotle Quesadilla:

• Black Beans
• Corn
• 1 Chipotle Pepper
• Adobe Sauce
• Mushrooms
• Cheese – shredded and 1 slice of smoke cheddar
• Avocado
• Whole Wheat Tortilla

Ooey, gooey goodness:

This turned out really good! I topped it with some salsa and if I’d had some sour cream, it would have been perfect!

Oh, and I had some grapes:

I actually got to bed before 11pm last night! I woke up this morning with enough time to make a smoothie:

Into the smoothie mix went:

• Blueberry Juice
• Pomegrante Juice
• Frozen Mango
• Banana
• Fresh Pineapple
• A little bit of vanilla protein powder
• Perfect Food
• Mila

Lunch was a repeat of yesterday. Jimmy John’s got our order confused so I got a free sandwich. Really can’t pass up free!



For some protein I found some cottage cheese in the cafeteria at work. It looks so blah, but it’s full of protein and better than some hamburger or something. Which, unforutnately, is one of the main options at work.



Not too long after lunch, I chowed down some grapes and blueberries:



For another afternoon snack, I had half a wheat bagle with PB, ‘nana and honey with a glass of milk. No wonder I haven’t lost much weight, I can’t stop eating!



Good thing the rain stopped, I should be able to get a run in. Hopefully 4 miles!

The buzz around Oma-hell right now is the College World Series. It’s really the only major sporting event Omaha can claim. Now, I couldn’t care less about baseball, it bores me to death. But the parties around town are awesome! First game starts tomorrow and after work I plan on heading out to find some trouble. There’s all kinds of tailgating and bars that will be hopping all week, hope I make it out alive! Anyone out there following the CWS?
