Well since the half Marathon, I have to say I have been a little tired and a little lazier then I have been. I have still gone to Zumba a couple times and I have done a few short runs here and there. In fact last Saturday three friends and I did the jingle bell run in downtown Daphne and we won the costume contest which was kind of awesome! Now that I have taken a little rest I am ready to increase my running a little. I am trying to be cautious to prevent injury. I feel like I just want to go out and do another long run, but I need to listen to some good advise I have been given, and take it slow in order not to get injured! I have an 8k this weekend which is just shy of five miles so I am looking forward to that!
I have also been struggling with a sweet tooth. I guess you could say it is that time of the year. As I have stated before I don't deprive myself, but if I give into every craving that is going to get me know where! So I tried a recipe for Healthier Chunky Monkey ice cream...with no ice cream..lol! It was super yummy and really satisfied my cravings. Here is the recipe below
3 bananas
2 tbs of peanut butter (all natural)
quarter cup of walnuts
and a handful of chocolate chunks(optional)
Directions
chop up Bananas and put in freezer in a freezer bag wait until frozen. Once frozen combine frozen bananas, Peanut butter, walnuts, and chocolate chunks all in a blender. Mix until smooth ( I added a little milk to help smooth it out)
and serve!!
It is perfect for those bananas that are starting to go bad!
