So, today I’ll consider a true taper day. 5.5 mi total. I have that full marathon waiting for me this Saturday morning, so I’ll be kind to myself.
Notes: Trying something different today by seeing how many calories I’ve consumed, in comparison to how many calories I’ve burned throughout the day. I’ll have a final tally after I squeeze this work out in. I took a long nap this evening, no fighting it. So doing a late workout now, even though I have work at the butt crack of dawn. 

P.s. I went to TJ’s and they were all out of yellow squash. T_T I just settled for zucchini instead. 

Other notes: I think I’ve been inadvertently weening off from the husk powder, which is fine, because I think I’ve noticed a reduction in bloat? Not sure though but we’ll see.

Also, I’m really proud of myself for resisting coffee today. Not that coffee is a bad thing, it’s a great treat. I’m trying to honor my body’s natural sources of energy and I guess I naturally opted for sleep. Feels good, because I can listen to my body clock telling me whether I sleep or not (which I’m finding to be a luxury these days, that I’m thankful for) versus going on coffee’s terms.

Over and out.

I discovered farro and I love it!!!

   
 
Hungry at work. It’s rare that Infind something at the work cafeteria that is guilt free. I spotted this salad, and it seemed to have everything I like ( beets, garbanzos, b-nut squash, etc. It was AMAZING. Going to head back after work and grab a couple more to bring home. I’ll try to look up some ways to prep this, I hear farro has some specific prep steps.
