So Busy and So Little Time!:)

These last few days have flown by! Sorry for not updating and adding any sort of recipe. I can't say tonight will be any different (as far as the recipe goes) but here's a brief look into my last few days...

Saturday seems so far away right now so it's a little blurry. But I woke up, had my breakfast (the usual and then a bunch of snacking), and then went on a 5-6 mile run around the neighborhood. I love running around where I'm from in San Antonio, there are so many memories associated with everywhere I go. I ran by the soccer fields I used to play in with Ryan, Brian, Danny and Erin in High School and Middle School. I ran by my old best friend's houses, and the stables where the guy I had my first crush on lived when we were in elementary school. I ran by the water way where we used to play when it would rain so much it flooded..It was just so nice!:) Then I ate my lunch (sorry, it's been so long ago and so much food since then that I can't remember what that was), went to the mall with Katy (and I didn't even buy anything that was unnecessary! Hooray me!:)), came home ate a quick dinner (I'm sure it was probably along the lines of spaghetti squash, almonds and fruit with maybe a piece of bread..there's that snacking again), got ready and went to David's to go to see Wade Bowen at the Valero Texas Open with him and Jadon. Then I called it a night around 10:30 because I was tired (they had fun giving me grief about this, I am not an old woman..I just enjoy my sleep..especially when I have to get up early to get a run or workout in:)). I did eat quite a lot today. I had 2 dinners pretty much because one was at 5 when I thought I was going to be eating my last meal, but around 7:30, we got free vouchers to Rudy's BBQ at the Texas Open and I can't ever turn down BBQ, especially when it's free. There's that Texan in me:)

Sunday was my Mom's own personal Mother's day since we weren't here for her's last Sunday. So, I got up and went to the gym and got in some really good weights hitting every part of my body. Then I came home and got ready while my sister drove down from Austin. When my parents got home from church, we went and ate lunch at P.F. Changs. We got the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Crispy Green Beans (fried green beans), and Dynamite Shrimp (fried shrimp in spicy sauce) as appetizers to split between all four of us. Then I got the Asian Shrimp Salad that had grilled shrimp, watermelon balls, candied walnuts and lettuce with this citrusy, oil dressing--d'lish! Mom and Dad got the Chilean Seabass and sarah got the Beef something or other. I mainly stuck to the salad because it was HUGE but we split everything and it was really good. I had a couple of the lettuce wraps to start with and then a couple of the green beans just to try them (I couldn't have the sauce so they were a little bland on their own I thought), and a couple of the Dynamite Shrimp. From here we went to Clay Casa and painted some pottery. I made a mug that I am REALLY excited about using for my green tea in the mornings!!:) Then we went home and ate dinner (spaghetti squash and some more snacking..I have got to quit this) and then my sister left. I then just hung around with my parents watching Desperate Housewives since I would be leaving the next day (today) for Dallas and wouldn't see Mom til Thursday when she came up and Dad until Sunday night.

So finally, today I woke up and ran to the gym, worked out and ran back. The last mile or so of the run I sprinted as hard as I could in little segments and I have to say, you definitely sweat so much more in humidity. In Lubbock, I'll be on mile 7 and hardly sweating. In San Antonio, I've run a little more than a mile and I've got it dripping down my face. That's OK though because I actually love the feeling of sweating, maybe that's gross but I do! Both the run and the workout were really good. So then I went home, got ready and finished packing, ate some lunch (spaghetti squash with carrots and hummus, later followed by my makeshift "PB&J" with the toasted bread, almond butter and cut grapes..and an orange), and got on the road around 2 to head up to Dallas. Dinner was a chicken breast Mom made for me before I left and probably about 2-3 cups of spaghetti squash and some sliced bell peppers. Then once I got here to Bonnie's, I had a little salad with some steamed green beans and a little garlic bread. The garlic bread though was different than what you might normally think of. Instead of being covered in this buttery, garlicky sauce, it was just a loaf with garlic cloves baked into it! Such a good idea!

So tomorrow is the orientation for the Byron Nelson. Hopefully I'll have some time to update this week but it probably won't be every day and there also probably won't be many recipes but I'll do my best!:) Have a great week if I don't get to update much!:)
