Good morning everyone! This morning I got up earlier than usual, thanks to getting to bed earlier than my usual the night before. I even woke up before my alarm did! Today I decided to do something different and take pictures of what I ate and what I prepared for lunch today.
I usually have a cup of coffee with a splash of hazelnut cream and some organic cane sugar (I took the picture before putting those in so you just see black coffee). I also had some oatmeal with some flax seeds and honey. I really like this combo, but I wish I had some fruit on the side.
For lunch I packed some Campbell’s Tomato with Basil soup with a whole wheat pita and Barney Butter. Barney Butter is the best, and I was lucky enough to get some samples to try (thanks!). Barney Butter is pure almond butter and completely not made around any peanuts whatsoever. I think it’s a better alternative to those who are allergic to peanuts. 
I also packed some Kashi Roasted Garlic and Thyme crackers (which I’m giving a try again, wasn’t too fond of at first bite) and Chocolate and Vanilla Soy Pudding for my in between snacks. I really need to get some fruit to snack on! I feel like this might not be enough.
Today I am going to start running again, and since I haven’t for a few months, I’m going back to the Couch to 5K training program. I really wanted to make my own mix of songs to run to with cues and everything but Audacity, the program I was using was not being cooperative. But then again I had just downloaded it and really new to it. I still have the mix, so I will use it and just watch for when I have to run and walk. I’m doing week 1, which is a 5 minute warm up walk followed by 1 minute runs and 1.5 walking for 20 minutes.
Also, I’m trying to find a good deal on a Polar Heart Rate monitor and have my sights on the F6, which is $99 on Amazon. So I ask my readers: Do you have a heart rate monitor? If so please share your experience in the comments.
Off to work! Short work week since I’m going to NYC on Thursday for the weekend! Yay!

Looks like you have a nice diet going on there Sue. I agree with you on the fruit though. It is a fantastic snack for curbing your appetite.
