Mocha Monday

I've been making the same smoothie like 3 times a week for a lil while now & have yet to share it. Oops!

Mocha Berry Green Monster
1 cup soy milk
1 cup-ish frozen mixed berries
handful spinach
1 Tbsp instant coffee
1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder

mix & blend.  (sometimes I throw a few ice cubes in)
serve in wine glass if you're feelin schmancy.  so good.
the coffee in this was exactly what I needed this morning.
Mondays struggle. especially the Monday before a long weekend & I'm soo looking forward to 4 full days at the Cape. Hoping for lots of sun!

Now that we're approaching July, I'm assuming its going to start getting hot. (maybe soon?) so I'm trying to transition my runs to the morning. Tomorrow will be the test.  Think I can do it?

I heart NY

I love NY & even though I don't live there anymore, I think it will always feel a bit like home.
this weekend was fantastic!
I got in on Friday and had a low key night with a few of the best.

unfortunately, i failed at pics. so this is all i have of the weekend.

Saturday morning Breen & I got up and went running. I forgot how wonderful the West Side Highway is - and did 5 miles!!  I haven't run that far since I switched to outside, so I was pretty pumped. :)

every time I get to a new distance, I feel like a half miight be possible.

I'm not convinced enough to register though.

i do NOT love mondays. today struggled.

plus the fact that I'm going away this weekend again makes this week tough. I probably should have run tonight, but just couldnt bring myself to do it. tomorrow. ugh.

I did make a delic dinner though. inspired by fresheatsntastytreats.

1/3 block tempeh

whole wheat sandwich thin

1 oz shredded cheddar

red onion

bbq sauce. 

lit my mouth on fire a bit. mmmm.
