Yesterday I went to the grocery to hit up some deals at Safeway. They had some super deals on their berries so I got 2 lbs of strawberries and blackberries. I’m not at all worried about them going to waste because berries go fast in this household. Combined the 4 lbs of berries cost me only $11. I was pretty happy. Along with the berries I also grabbed a few other goodies on sale:

Larabars were on sale for $1, A head of lettuce was $1, Lots of ripe bananas (immediately frozen when I got home), Kodiak cakes!!, free spectrum canola oil spray after coupon, Fage super cheap after coupons, Vans waffles with coupon, almond breeze with coupon and some Ezekial raisin bread.

I also found goodies in my mailbox! New magazines. Real Simple, Cooking Light and Shape. I love new reading material.

I quickly fixed up a snack to enjoy while reading. Toasted slice of Ezkiel bread with some Dubliner butter and a small bowl of berries.

Nothing feels more like spring than beautiful colored berries. I read and sat on the porch waiting for the boy to get home so we could go for a walk. Closer to dinner I made myself a really good Pom spritzer with fresh lemon squeezed in.

We went for a 2.65 mile walk up the street and back once he got home. He then went down to Noodles Co. for his free birthday entree while I had a bowl of soup. I had felt bloated and icky all day so I thought soup would be a good light choice.

I souped up my soup by adding spinach, lentils, pita chip crumbs, freshly ground pepper and fresh Italian cheese. It’s amazing what a few additions can do to an otherwise boring canned soup.

For dessert I pulled out a jello cup and mixed in a crushed up peppermint Joe Joe.

Then this morning I got up and made a large bowl of mixed cereal for breakfast. I threw in some Kashi Go Lean crunch, TJ’s almond cashew ginger granola (YUM), grapenuts, cashews, Flax seed, blackberries and strawberries all with soymilk.

I had some TJ’s Earl Grey tea with it.

After letting it settle a few hours I hit the pavement for a 4.5 mile run. The stats:

This run felt pretty good. I hope the rest this week go just as well. Tomorrow I am going for a 4.8 mile trail run with a group I found on Meetup. I’m pretty excited about it. It will be the first time I’ve gone on a run with other people!

Today’s a big day for me. I have an interview this afternoon for a bakery position with a local chain. I don’t want to go into too much detail because 1. I don’t have the job and 2. I think it best to keep some things out of the public. Anyways, I hope it goes well. It would be really nice to have something to do while I look for a position closer to my actual degree. Then again, sometimes you don’t end up where you intend to and that’s ok.

I just had a quick lunch which included a green monster and a boiled egg. Trying to keep up with a good cleanse this week. The base was a Stonyfield strawberry smoothie (last one, huzzah!).

With some spinach, chia seeds and blueberries thrown into the mix.

To top it off I squeezed in 1/4 of a lemon.

The finished product. Now it’s on to some cleaning before the interview. Wish me luck!
