I usually go visit my family about once per month, and Saturday inevitably involves pizza and junk foods... So, last time I tried to plan ahead more! First, make sure to enjoy a good run, second make sure to enjoy some good food before the pizza cravings set it, and then have a big kale salad on hand to keep me busy during pizza!
So, of course about 15 minutes after I started my run - when I'm too far away to easily get back home - the downpour starts! My first reactions was "oh no!" But as I ran, I began wondering why we have such a fear of being wet! It kept me cool as I worked hard, and it was revitalizing!
(The only down side was when my ear bud got wet and stopped working... but after it dried, all better!)

But after I finished (getting odd looks from people the whole way) I came home, got my hot shower, and watched the sun come back out. Of course. So, to help keep the pizza-cravings at bay, I made up a big salad full of healthy, beautifying foods!
So simple! Cucumber and radish with juice of a half lemon, and a sprinkling of hemp seeds. Hydrating, skin loving, and omega rich! Booyaka!
So, I went outside to enjoy some quiet time with my salad, and the beautiful post-rain glow!
Hope you've all had a wonderful week! Keep those veggies rolling!

I hope you find more than pizza at the home when you are visiting the next time! A run to Whole Foods would definitely be in order. The salad looks yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems there's more and more variety at home these days, despite dad's grumblings ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe salad is one of my favorites!! Simple, quick, spicy yet cool and refreshing!
