I am still tired and achy today. Even more so, because my muscles are sore from the gym yesterday. Not complaining. Just observing. Actually, I would rather be sore from activity, than from an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle. Just saying! (Eh-hem...that would have been me over the last few years. Achy every morning for no reason, other than stress and eating too much of the salty foods).
Anyway, I am still working on the eating.
I had some tea this morning and a few bites of left over chicken sausage.
After the run, I made a really wonderful healthy lunch. I was happy to discover that both my son and my son-in-law had days off from work. I like to cook for others! :)
I marinated chicken breasts and drumsticks in Greek yogurt with chopped garlic, lemon juice and oregano. I let it swim in that while I went to the trail.
When I got back I baked the chicken for 30 minutes while I made brown rice, sauteed mushrooms and tabbouleh (without the bulgur and heavy on lemon juice). Then I broiled the chicken for about 10 minutes to get a nice crunch.
Most fulfilling! :)
My plan is now to head out to teach and maybe just grab an iced coffee or iced tea and some fruit later. When I get back tonight, I'll have some tabbouleh and herbal tea.
Today's run/jog/walk was unique. I wasn't listening to the lyrics of the music quite so much. I was focused on pushing myself. But as I headed towards home, the song "Walk on the Water" sung by Britt Nicole came on. (I had it tuned to 104.7 THE FISH) at that moment. The lyrics hit me as hard as her sweet voice:
"Walk On The Water"
"You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if I'm overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one's there
Will you hear my prayer
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too
So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait
And don't you turn around, and miss out on
Everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you're not sure, more
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too
Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you, telling
you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water to."
