I was looking at my food log yesterday and noticed that during the week, I pretty much eat & drink the same things pre- and post-run.
I give you, GuBrewYoGlop*:
…the later two are always chased with a grande Americano, of course!
*Glop being the name my wife has given to my oatmeal/cranberry/Kashi concoction

K (after opening her souvenir bag from my trip): “Didn’t you buy you a t-shirt or something?”
Me: “No – just two bags of chocolate Mickey Mouse pretzels!”
I love-ah da Chocolatears!

I saw this online a while back and love it! It is one of my favorite low calorie*, evening snacks. Simple to fix and is quite yummy!
Here’s the ingredients and prep:
1 Bowl:
1 tablespoon of your favorite peanut butter – I use creamy:
Microwave the PB for about 20-25 seconds, then stir:
1 cup of your favorite chocolate pudding cup. I’ve been using the one below, but sometimes use sugar free.
Add the pudding cup to the melted PB:
Mix thoroughly, then enjoy!
…which I do:
YUMMO!
*Calories: 215 as prepped above – 155 using sugar free pudding (PB is ~95 per T).

The Cave
When I started running, Karen asked if I was going to get “one of those headlight things.” My response, “Pffft, yeah right!”
I caved, got one, and really like it.
The Memory
See’s peanut brittle was one of my dad’s favorite Christmas time treats – a close second was old fashioned hard candy (that pretty much ending up sticking together in a single mass as the season progressed.)
I bought us a box the other day, kind of in remembrance. Some of us used to get in trouble for eating most of “his” box. 🙂
Training Journal – 12/15/11:
Karen made my day…40 ounces of goodness!
(As a matter of fact, I do eat a lot of cranberries.)
At first I thought, “Poor letter ‘S’…”
But a quick check of Urban Dictionary made me ponder:
lobter [läb-stər]
Lobter is the essence of all life and all that is good.
Lobter is classified as a noun usually, but at times can be used as an exclamation:
“lobter: Mmmmmm“
“LOBTER! I STUBBED MY TOE!! LOBTER, it hurts..”
I saw this recipe on MapMyFITNESS.com. It was pretty good and I can just imagine the possible variations.
Quick Banana Cobbler
Makes 2 servings*, total prep + cook time: 30 minutes
– 1 large banana, sliced thick
– ½ c granola (I used Kashi GOLEAN, Honey Almond Flax Crunch cereal)
– 1 T brown sugar
– 1 T butter
– 1/4 cup milk
– Cinnamon, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°.
– Melt butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
– Stir in sliced bananas and coat thoroughly with the brown sugar mixture.
– Stir in your favorite granola and milk.
– Mix thoroughly and transfer to an oven-safe baking dish or ramekins.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
*I enjoyed the whole thing! Topped with 2T of lite whipped topping, I calculate at 422 calories.
Ladies and Gents, may I present the Chicken Pot Pie, ala Hash House a Go Go:
needless to say, all was NOT consumed…
Having pretty much logged everything I’ve eaten since January 2010, this story is pretty interesting. I may have to try something like this…
