Hello, hello! Work is going quickly (actually, a bit TOO quickly…. I need to get more done!) and lunch totally crept up on me!

Around 10:00 AM, I had a small snack.  I ate some grapes and a handful of almonds.

I ate about 1/2 of what’s pictured because the grapes were off.  I hate it when that happens!

And for lunch, I made Easy Meal Starter Sloppy Joes.  This baby took all of 5 minutes to cook!

I heated up 1/2 cup of Morning Star Easy Meal Starter mix with 1/8 cup pasta sauce, added some goat cheese, and slapped the "sloppy joe" in between two pieces of toasted WW bread.

It was delicious! I had to stop myself from shoving the sammie halves in my mouth at lightening speed. 🙂

I also had a side salad and some steamed broc.

Bounce Back Faster

Flexibility is very important for preventing injuries when running or working out.  Flexibility also shortens you recovery time when you do get injured.  (Side note: I think a lot of my leg trouble is due to tight calves.) 

I was browsing Runner’s World Injury Prevention site last night and found loads of great articles and videos on proper stretching techniques.  Here are the best:

• Stretching While Standing
• Get Over It: Foot Pain
• Get Over It: Shin Pain
• Video: Calf Stretches
• Video: IT Band Flexibility Stretches
• Video: Foot and Ankle Stretches

Enjoy!
