tuesday...

I feel like Tuesdays are kind of a forgotten day. Like everyone hates Monday but what happens on Tuesday? Maybe that's just me, maybe that's just quarantine, I don't know. I rarely know what day it is, forget knowing the actual date.

Today was a lot like yesterday, I woke up and I laid on the floor flat for 10 minutes, it's supposed to help with spine alignment. Then you lay on your stomach, flat, for 5 minutes. I don't really know but the time went by quickly. After that I got ready for the day. I woke up and drank a whole bottle of water before a cup of my cold brew. I reheated some waffles for me and Soren and I journaled while I waited. I also talked to my dad for a little.

It was another beautiful day, it wasn't too hot and there was a nice breeze. Today's baking adventure was banana blueberry bread. My bananas were super brown and only had a day or so left so I knew I needed to use them soon. I found a recipe that did not call for any sugar, the only sweetener was a tiny bit of honey. The bread is tasty. It's not as dessert like as the chocolate chip banana bread I normally bake but it's still nice. I used four bananas instead of three and I didn't measure the amount of blueberries I put in. I used fresh ones this time and I think they're in season because they're huge. I think I'll enjoy a piece of the bread with some Greek yogurt tomorrow morning. I also didn't use the whole wheat flour, I used regular because I wasn't going to buy different flour for one recipe! It's still yummy. Here's the recipe: https://www.runninginaskirt.com/healthy-blueberry-banana-bread-recipe/ and here's a photo. Oh yeah I also left the mashed banana a little chunkier, I would recommend. I am done baking for the next couple of days...

I think that once we're all at camp and Dechlan (Soren's older brother) and his girlfriend are here we're going each pick a night to make dinner. Soren's mom and younger brother will do one night, we'll do one night, Dechlan and his girlfriend will do one night and Soren's grandparents will do one. It should be fun, I'm looking forward to it. They're going to be here this weekend I believe. It's funny because I know exactly how his girlfriend feels, I was the girlfriend here last summer. It'll be nice to meet her!

I had every intention of making dinner tonight but then Soren's mom asked if we wanted to have dinner with her. We had pork tenderloin, mac and cheese, and broccoli, it was really good. Probably better than what I was going to make. I am going to make dinner tomorrow though. I'm planning on making breakfast fried rice, it looks fairly simple and tasty. Here's the recipe: https://rachelschultz.com/2017/08/17/breakfast-fried-rice/. I don't know if I'll add a whole pound of bacon, I'll definitely add more eggs though. I'll let you know how it turns out!

I didn't workout at all today but before I took a shower I did a 20 minute hip opening yoga video and I can't believe how much it helped. I'm planning on doing that again tomorrow. I also have realized that if I actually want this to heal and just get better I am going to have to take my running down a notch. Like actually run/walk back into it because I'm tired of how much time I've had to take off of running to try and fix myself. I am done being stubborn!! That'll last all of a week.

Tomorrow's plan is spine alignment and yoga when I wake up, get ready, water, coffee, breakfast, go to grocery store, go to Soren's mom's and hangout there, do some hip strengthening exercises and abs, come back to his grandparents, shower and make dinner. Sounds pretty easy to me. Sorry if this isn't very exciting, it helps me stay accountable. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 70s, that's exciting to me! For some reason it's also less buggy at his mom's house so it's nice enough to workout outside which I love.

Okay this is it for today, hope you're all well still and have found things to do!
