I was up this morning at 5:20 and headed to the gym to get my 5 mile run done. The only food I had prepped before hand were my snacks so breakfast this morning was on the fly. I didn't want to grab fast food and knew I would need more than the boiled egg whites I had planned so here's what I had...

[/caption]Lunch today was a work outing so I didn't take a picture of that since I didn't want to explain to three men WHY I was taking a picture of my food. So, here is a picture of what I had yesterday which really should be a huge surprise since it is something I eat often but my lunch was chock full of delicious veggies.

We went to a nice restaurant in town and I ordered the Lemon-Lime Chicken with baked squash and creamed spinach. I only ate half of the chicken breast (which was marinated and grilled in a lovely lemon-lime marinade) and less than a half cup of each of the sides. I have my leftovers saved for tomorrow.
My snacks today included a banana, nectarine, almonds (not pictured) and boiled egg whites. Towards the end of the day I was a little hungry and also had a small bowl (about an ounce) of raw sugar snap peas with a tiny (less than tbsp) of ranch dressing. Here is what I remembered to snap a picture of...
And because yesterday was my birthday I felt it appropriate to be honest again this week and show you the treat I indulged in. And all I can say is thank goodness my husband only bought a small cake!
I knew last night what I wanted to have for dinner tonight and was excited all day about it. I love breakfast. And by breakfast I mean REAL breakfast which to me is eggs and bacon! So, tonight my husband made eggs, bacon, ham and turkey sausage and toast! I had 2 eggs and one egg white, one small piece of ham, 2 slices of bacon and one slice of toast with strawberry jam. Sounds like a ton of food but it was low cal and full of protein! I also didn't get a picture of that because I was starving since I worked out twice today all I could think about was getting that yummy food right in my belly!
February Miles
Now that we've gotten the food out of the way I wanted to go over my mileage for February! I am not sure I ever posted January mileage (123 miles total) but decided I would start listing my monthly mileage at the end of the month before I decide on the next month's goals.
February mileage - 151 total miles! I can hardly believe this number! It's huge (for me) but I suppose that's what marathon training is for...huge mileage! I feel so good and so excited about this number. So far for the year I am at 274 miles. IF I continue on this way I will be at my goal of 1000 miles for the year again in 2012. How awesome would that be!?
Tomorrow starts a new month. Have you decided on your goals for March? Stay tuned... I plan to post February in review and March's goals tomorrow.
