WIAW – A New PR!

09/25 by Leigha 8 Comments

Fashion Friday {9/23 - 9/27}
Fashion Friday {9/16 - 9/20}

Hey everyone! It’s been awhile since I posted last – Friday, to be exact! I would hate to miss a WIAW though, so let’s get started with What I Ate Tuesday!

Breakfast

pbbananatoast

I just can’t get enough of peanut butter banana toast with a big glass of milk. Probably because I don’t have time to make anything else in the mornings πŸ˜‰ 

Lunch

I’m now officially sick of the lunch I’ve had every day since September 3rd. Turkey sandwich with pesto, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Plus an apple. I mean it’s good, but having it every day is getting old!

Prerace

Yesterday I had a cross country meet! When we left on the bus I had a banana and a little package of peanut butter. It was the best idea ever to steal a ton of them from a hotel.

I got 5th place which is worse than I normally do. But my time was 20:27, a new PR! After my race the JV’s ran and a few of us varsity runners ran since it was an open race. It was fun – totally different atmosphere than varsity! Way more relaxed and fun!

Dinner

 We stopped at a grocery store after the meet. That was good for me – there’s much healthier options at a grocery store than at a fast food place! I bought 2 bunches of bananas (they were a good price!) and a chocolate milk. So my dinner was 2 bananas, chocolate milk, more peanut butter, a cookie, and just some random stuff that other people bought. I was a normal teenager, not worrying about what I was eating! It felt so good! 

I had a piece of toast with avocado when I got home also.

So if you were counting, that’s 4 bananas for the day. What’s your record? πŸ˜‰

In other news, we had a house showing last night and it went really well… we might be moving! Have a good Thursday, since that’s when everybody’s gonna be reading this!

      Actually the PR was referring to my 5k time… but it’s a record on the bananas too! Just realized that!

    My record is 6 in a day! I had 1 whipped in my oats, 1 topping the oats, then for lunch a smoothie of 2 bananas, and PB banana toast for a night snack. They’re the best. You are so fast! I’m a little jealous πŸ˜‰

    Might be moving?! Oh dear I really am behind in my blog reading. πŸ™
    Great job on your PR!!! I think it’s so cool that you’re so fast yet still quite young! I wish I had your speed when I was your age (actually, I wish I had your speed now!).
    I honestly probably haven’t had more than two bananas in a day. That might change today though as I’ll be carb loading for my half!!
