Yay Dance, Boo Computer

Well, I'm here blogging from my roommate's laptop since I apparently still do not have a hard drive...weird how that thing can just "disappear"! Maybe I'll try the Geek Squad because I really just don't feel like putting the effort into fixing it myself :(

In better news, I FINALLY got to dance class...it's been like a month!! So fun...my favorite exercise always :)

This post is all about my dinner last night...Simple Satisfying Scrumptious Sandwich, Salad, and Soup!!!
I got home from the gym last night, looked in the fridge, and remembered all about the deli meat I had on hand...so I wanted a kick ass sandwich. It included a little of all the items I had:
  • Boars Head Honey Maple Turkey
  • Boars Head Virginia Baked Ham
  • Sweet Sopresatta from the North End in Boston
  • American Cheese!
  • WW Arnold Sandwich Thin
  • smear of Dijon Mustard

Because I wanted my veggies I made a little salad with:

  • Baby Spinach
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Red Pepper
  • Newman's Own Light Caesar Dressing

Because I was cold I also had a little bit of TJ's Creamy Tomato and Red Pepper soup for warmth...

The Spread:

I also want to highlight a new Trader Joe's snacky that I had with this...These are AMAZING!! They aren't very Gorgonzola-y strong if you don't care for the cheese, they are just these little tasty crackers with a great seasoning to make them just delicious!! Highly recommend trying them for a great flavor punch!


And they are little...about quarter size!

Tonight's dinner wasn't as extensive, but also delish...I had a bowl of leftover veggie pasta bake the roomie made this weekend...you can see the pan of it in this post with my cute new spoons!

But the star was dessert...I found 1 last little no pudgie brownie in the freezer, so I heated it up and added some chocolate and pistachio gelato!

It really is too cold for ice cream, but I just couldn't help it.

Running

So...when does it get easier? It's getting a little frustrated because I felt like I was getting better and was getting excited about the possibility of me running more! However, lately it doesn't feel any better or easier and sometimes just down right harder!! It's also annoying because it really is too cold to run outside right now so I am subject to the treadmill...which can only keep my interest for so long. I hear about some others who go from couch to 10K in less than a year and I just can't even fathom it! I'm definitely not at the "couch" stage by any means but I also feel like I will never get past the 5K stage...and I haven't even ran a whole 5k!
