No stupid munching

Part of living a healthy lifestyle and eating a healthy...truly healthy...diet is education.  If you aren't educated about what you're eating, you're most likely going to eat something completely terrible for you.  Example.  I have a coworker who is "On a diet".  This coworker ate a large caesar salad for lunch the other day and was all chatty Cathy about how light she ate.  She might as well have had a Big Mac, because they have just about the same amout of calories, fat, and sodium.

Here are some resources to get you edumacated about what you're eating, because it's not all about fat content either:

Rice and Raisins! Who woulda thunk it?!

When DC and I did our 10k last Saturday, we sprinted across the finish line and immediately bee-lined it to the vendor tents.  We got our tshirts, some breakfast tacos, apples, water, and some Mojo bars.  The thing was, I had just run 6.2 miles and I didn't want any of that except water.  Until we went by the Minute rice tent and sampled this gloriously amazing post-race / post-work out snack.

So, start with some brown rice.  You can definitely use instant, and just follow the directions on the box.

BUT!  When it says to boil the water, instead of water, you are going to use apple juice.

This! just! got! interesting!  (Name the show?  Seriously name the show because I can't think of it)

When it's done, mix it up with some raisins

Drizzle some honey on it and eat.

Y'all seriously.  It's delicious.  Best post-workout snack EVA.

Some Girls Get "Just Because" Flowers.

I get a "Just Because" road bike.

DC brought this home for me last night totally out of the blue.  I am WAY excited about it.  I have big dreams for her...lots of things to change, but plenty we will leave on her.  DC is going to teach me about bike maintenance as we fix her up, an I'll probably chronicle that a little on here.

I think I see a duathlon in our future together, you sweet ride, you.
