love me some dunkin

Thanks to the wonderful Leah, I was up at at 'em early this morning and got in a quick 3.75 mile run, followed by a 1 mile run/pulling war with Maia before I had to head out early to our interviews.

Maia isn't quite sure of this running business...and I got quite the evil eye when we got home. :)



I was glad I was able to get out with Maia in the morning, but I knew it wasn't enough - so Nic and I dragged her out again this evening. Our walk with full of cooling off breaks and a nice dunk in her mini pool afterwards.



Today's workout::


mile 1 - 7:47
mile 2 - 8:07
mile 3 - 8:05
mile 4 - 8:36
mile 5ish - 10:33

Our evening walk with Maia was about 2.5 miles.

Love me some dunkin'::
Dunkin' dark blend coffee + soy milk = the best iced coffee ever.



Today's eats::



It seems like today's theme when it came to meals was "dunkin'" (not just for coffee!) For lunch, we dunked veggies into hummus and cheese toast into pasta sauce, my snack was apple slices dunked into peanut butter, and I did a little bit of dunking at dinner with my veggies and fabulous chana masala! I followed this recipe and will for sure be making again!

{and just for the record - McDonald's coffee sucks and we were forced to do our first interview there [classy, I know!] because the owners of the local coffee shop are on vacation. Gotta love small town living!}

Body Image::
Fact - I have lost a lot of weight in the past year. I am much healthier than I used to be and I eat much much better. {see the post below with the photos!}

So - why do I still think that I am fat? My love handles jump out at me whenever I look in the mirror and I don't have the flat stomach that I think I should have.

Granted - I've been taking it easier these past few weeks because work has just been crazy, but still...

I clearly have poor body image, not all days, but enough days to annoy the crap out of Nic.  Need to work on that - I LOOK DAMN GOOD.  :)
