Hi, friends! How’s your Monday going so far? I have a fun giveaway to make it even better! But, first, food and fitness!
Lunch
I’m on a serious soup kick lately, so when I was at Whole Foods yesterday, I picked up a bunch of canned varieties to try. One of those soups was Cream of Mushroom, which I made for lunch today and liked a lot. I never know what to expect with canned soups, but this one was tasty. It maybe could’ve used some more mushrooms, but it’s flavor (strong mushroom with hints of onion and celery) and consistency (thick and creamy) made up for it.
On the side, I had some Zesty Nacho Kale Chips.
After lunch, I satisfied by sweet tooth with a glass of Chocolate Peppermint Stick soy milk. I snagged this baby at Whole Foods yesterday, too. You should have seen Mal’s face when I showed it to him. His eyes lit up and he had the biggest smile on his face. Chocolate peppermint is one of Mal’s favorite dessert combinations ever. In high school, when I worked at Starbucks, I used to woo him by making Peppermint Mochas for him. I’m pretty that’s what made him fall in love with me (the first time).
Workout
After lunch, I headed out for a 4-mile run around my neighborhood. I haven’t run in days, so I figured I’d get out there and just do it.
I didn’t push myself too hard on my run today because I wanted to save some energy for Crossfit tonight. I have a feeling I’m going to need it!
Snack
Since Crossfit is on the agenda, I made sure to fuel up with a substantial snack: sunflower butter and banana on a toasted whole wheat Sandwich Thin.
Halo Headphones Giveaway
Ready for a great fitness giveaway?!?
A few weeks ago, OpenSky sent me a pair of Halo Headphones to try out. They’re headphones in a headband, which, at first, sounded pretty goofy to me, but I gave them a try anyway. To my surprise, I ended up loving them! It’s very comfortable to wear (stays put, not awkward) and it’s headphones, a headband, and an ear-warmer all in one, so they’re perfect for cold weather runs.
And here’s your chance to win a pair! (They’ll also be on sale on Wednesday through OpenSky!)
Just leave a comment on this post about why you’d like to win these headphones. I’ll randomly pick a winner in the morning. Good luck!
