Weekly Menu Planning 10/7

As I head out to run (and hopefully not freeze) marathon #20 I am already thinking about food. Such a busy weekend that the planning has taken a step aside, but luckily I have a good start.  I am starting small with only dinner (breakfast tends to be the same and lunch is usually leftovers) and add in snack planning as I go. 
Last week was good, we stuck to the plan even when I would forget, it was nice to have things written down to look back on.

 

DINNER
SUNDAY
Pizza: HM brown rice crust with veggies (yes a repeat but great post race food)
MONDAY
Dinner out for Indian
TUESDAY
Almond Butter on Spelt bread (quick dinner before running)
Fruit
WEDNESDAY
Roasted veggies, potatoes and beets, ?
THURSDAY
Southwest Spaghetti Squash
FRIDAY
Dinner out for UofM Homecoming
SATURDAY
Dinner at a friend's wedding































 


Snack Ideas: Homemade pumpkin granola, almond milk yogurt, veggies & hummus, ProBar (look for a giveaway coming soon!), fruit
Yikes writing that out made me realize we are eating out a lot! I figure post marathon week I can indulge a little more, right?!

 Check out what others are planning and link up with Laura and Jill who are hosting a weekly menu planning link up every Sunday.

    You guys are doing great with this, I told laura I might be better off planning dinner and lunch over breakfast with our crazy schedules.

    Spelt bread? Sounds delicious! Do you make it on your own or buy it?

      I've been buying it from Trader Joe's, pretty good but dense.

A few Races...

Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month! GoMacro is offering 30% off to all my readers with code Thrive30 for online purchases Here The Thrive Bars come in 6 flavors: Caramel Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry ...

This post is going to match my mind lately as it races from thing to thing… I’m sitting here post-holiday craziness, on the verge of vacation and ready to go! Bell Plantation Peanut Butter Single Serve Cake (Gluten Free) 2 tbsp PB2 1 tsbp water 1 tbsp Almond milk 2 tbsp applesauce ½ tsp baking powder 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tbsp raisins or choc chips Mix all together and microwave bowl and cook for 2 minutes. And guess what I got so excited after I mixed it up, I never even took a picture of my yummy creation! Any fun snacks you’ve been eating lately? So what else is going through my mind today…This weather sucks and I continue to stalk the forecast for Dopey! Guess what we get on Monday, -50 wind chills!! I thought last weekend was bad, yikes!

Now on top of this we are ...
