Eat all the things Wednesday

Eat all the things Wednesday

AKA What I ate Wednesday...   Last week, I ran 68.5 miles.  I'm pretty sure that's my highest mileage week EVER.  Five half marathons + a 3 mile recovery run = a lot of running. It also equaled a lot of eating. Like constant eating.  Here's how I came home weighing exactly what I did when I left LOL: Breakfast: Every morning started with either a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a peanut butter sandwich and a banana.  (I never thought I could get tired of PB&J, but I am.  I can't stand to even think about one right now.) During the race: I relied mostly on nuun.  Even though I could have eaten an oreo (or potato chips or a sandwich or a snickers or...) after each lap, I found that I really didn't eat … [Read more...]

WIAW: Blue Apron Review

March 5, 2014 by MCM Mama 5 Comments

WIAW: Blue Apron Review

A friend of mine recently gave me a free trial of Blue Apron.  Blue Apron is one of a number of delivery services that have popped up that provide you with recipes and all of the ingredients that you need to cook them.  In this case, you get three meals, all selected by Blue Apron.  The only choice you have is whether you want that week's meal, if you want meat/fish or vegetarian, and how many servings you want.  If you are paying for the service, it is $9.99 per person per meal. Most important conclusion:  the food was fresh and all of the recipes tasted good.  Of the three, one was good but I wouldn't want again, one was good and I'd be happy to eat it occasionally, and one was good enough that I actually plan to use the recipe card … [Read more...]

Eat all the things Wednesday

Eat all the things Wednesday

Really, it was eat.all.the.things Tuesday, but the sentiment is the same.  It was just one of those days when all I wanted to do was eat.  The day started with an early breakfast, so lunch was eaten at about 11:15.  I headed out for a run (that I really didn't want to do, but I have some crazy days later this week) around 1:15.  I came back from my 4 mile run absolutely ravenous. What?  It's not like I ran that far.  Or that I ran on an empty stomach.  But I just wanted to eat and eat and eat...  Did I eat more calories than I burned? Absolutely.  Would I call it a binge?  No.  The weird part is that it felt like hunger, rather than "oh, I'm eating because I'm bored or I'm sad or I'm stressed..."  I did end up drinking quite a bit of … [Read more...]

Cleaning up my diet

February 19, 2014 by MCM Mama 6 Comments

Cleaning up my diet

40 miles a week is a magical number for me.  Magical, I tell you.  It instantly transforms me into a person who just can't eat enough. Admittedly, this is not good magic. Remember how I wrote about being "Rungry and Hangry" and trying to stop the evening snacking?  Well, so far, so good using the plans I came up with.  The key thing from a physical standpoint is increased protein and healthy fats.  While my body is constantly craving carbs, I am keeping it mostly happy with meat.  I just have to make sure I have easy access to protein meals and snacks so that I'm not stuffing my face with any easy snack I can get my hands on.  This is not to say I'm eating low carb.  I'm just eating more sweet potatoes, quinoa, and vegetables instead of … [Read more...]
