new shoes + clean eating = happy [still] kinda sick Maren

August 1, 2012

Hey guys.

I’ve spent the last few days home from work. My C-Diff is slowly getting better, but I’m not physically feeling better yet. My intestines ache and I feel like I have the flu. Achy, sleepy, lethargic… it isn’t very fun.

BREAKFAST

I’m making 100% clean food choices these days so I had:

eggs fried in evoo and topped with salt, pepper and dill.

some blueberry coconut milk yogurt with fresh blueberries added.

hot magic lemon water while cooking.

a mug of green tea while eating.

It’s definitely a lot of food, but I haven’t been eating too much lately and I need some nutrients.

NEW SHOES

DSCN0904

All of you saw it on twitter/facebook/instagram but here it is! My new shoes came!!!

I ordered a 9.5 and a 10 in narrows so I could try them. My feet are very strange because they’re flat which are usually not narrow, but the toe box area of my foot is narrow. So I ended up choosing a shoe not for flat footed people but in a narrow.

Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 ‘s

They smell good…

After trying both on, I went with the 10’s since my foot is flat and needs a little extra space in the arch, but still needs the narrow toe box. They’re awesome and super duper comfy.

I have a yummy pot pie recipe I’ll share later today!!!

My feet are flat and narrow too! Not sure that statement is worthy of an exclamation point, but there it is. Also, new shoes do smell good. It’s the simple pleasures that make me a happy gal.

My eats today were not so clean. But your breakfast has inspired me to start off the day tomorrow with a good clean breakfast! :)

Yay for new shoes! I feel like I get more excited about work out shoes/clothes than real everyday clothes. Is that just me?

Have an awesome weekend! :)
