Love Tap

first things first:

my apartment building was in the background of a shot in the TV show GIRLS. that’s mah home!

now onto other things, like my thursday.

the day began with morning yoga. I am convinced that there is nothing more amazing than morning yoga followed by starbucks soy chai.

my post yoga lunch consisted of my usual turkey and hummus on a wrap, but today I decided to substitute my typical cheese filling for a dairy-free cheeze alternative.

I’ve been trying to figure out if dairy products have been to blame for some of my belly problems. While I don’t know if cheese is to blame, this dairy-free alternative made from rice milk was a lovely substitute

I swear it tastes just like Kraft Singles

so whether or not I’m lactose intolerant, I’m a fan of the fake cheese.

Later on in the day the boy joined me for a run as part of my 5k training. Instead of doing the usual run around my neighborhood I’m used to, we went to the track at my old high school. Man, it feels WEIRD to run that track 4 years later. I used to cry through the mile run complaining about how much it sucked, now I’m running by choice there

while I love the scenery in my neighborhood, running on the track was oh so cushiony for my poor legs

I haven’t had a running buddy since gym class when I used to bribe my friends to half run half walk the mile run with me while I bitched and moaned. It was nice having someone else there to amuse me and keep me motivated.

After our run the boy and I enjoyed a well deserved smoothie

a tasty concoction of almond milk, frozen strawberries, banana and a teensy bit of honey. Why haven’t I tried frozen fruit until now? THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MY BEST FRIEND DURING COLLEGE. I have a habit of buying fruit because I’m craving a smoothie and then it goes back before I get a chance to make another smoothie with it. I’m super excited to cook with some frozen blueberries tomorrow.

 

 

and lastly, here is my sort of funny, sort of sad story of the evening. While driving from  kickboxing to fro-yo (so much attempting to be dairy-free, woopsie) a deer ran out in front of my car. Living in the enchanted forest, aka suburbia, I’ve seen a whole lotta deer while I’m driving. I’m usually pretty aware of them and know to honk at them to get them to run across the road so they don’t hit you. Well today’s deer was apparently on a suicide mission, and ran out from behind one of these kind of thingys:

Basically the deer ran in front of my car, but I couldn’t slam on the breaks because there was a car behind me. Fear not, the deer is still alive, and all the happened was it dented the front of my car a teensy bit and cracked part of my headlight. After that horrifying moment I DEFINITELY deserved the fro-yo.

While retelling the story to my parents my mom didn’t quit understand how the deer was still alive, so I explained “I swear, I just love tapped the deer”. My mother thought this was the funniest thing ever. and thats my lame story of the night.

oh man it is definitely bedtime for me, gots to wake up early for some intense bootcamp
