I am so irritated with myself right now.

I overslept and skipped my workout which means I have to do it tonight. After laundry. Which means right before bed. I am trying to psych myself up for it by remembering that I have the option of taking a nice hot shower afterwards and cuddling up in bed with my dog and a book and the satisfaction of knowing that I didn't flake out about my work out today but so far I'm just irritated that now I have to do 45-minutes worth of lifting tonight. I'm getting so used to getting it all out of the way in the mornings.

In other news, I went to the farmer's market on Saturday and picked up some tomatoes and some zucchini squash. It was rainy last night so I didn't feel like turning on the grill. So I decided to slice up two of the squash, chop up two of the tomatoes, some garlic, a teaspoon of olive oil, some fresh basil from my garden, a couple of Tablespoons of lemon juice and a 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, some oregano and ... just threw it all together and cooked it in a sauté pain. It wasn't fancy, but it was clean and healthy.

I added about two Tablespoons of baba ganoush to the cooked, finished product, about half of a piece of light string cheese, grated, since I didn't have any grated on hand, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

I've taken to making veggie-heavy lunches lately, mostly because this is a good time of the year to eat vegetables and fruit. In the morning I have this insane protein shake for breakfast - the almond, tofu, yogurt, soy milk, whey protein one - so I'm literally not hungry until much later in the day. I don't need to OD on protein so I figure midday is a nice time to fit in the produce.

OK. I re-read what I wrote and it almost made me pass out from the boringness of it all. So I'm going to stop there. One last point, though? Next weekend is the 10K race and I'm totally ready for it. Could do it tomorrow if I had to.

That's a nice feeling.
